How low should i go?

[orionmojo]

-1 or 2 inches

 

what do peeps reckon? i dont want to have any issues with scrubbing, but theres never any people in the back, tyres are 205/60/13".

 

any help apreciated, and this is how it is atm.

 

 

a better one from the side, but with diff profile tyres. these ones are 195/70/13

 

 

thanks muchly. i should be ordering the parts tomoz. my gut is to go with the -1 inch, but i think if i oculd get away with 2 it'd look better. i dunno

Go as low as you can 2"

[orionmojo]

why did i even ask!

[orionmojo]

no one wants to be the voice of reason before i order the parts then

[Copey]

well you could go 2...or 3...or is that not the sort of reasoning you wanted?

[tazrocks88]

or did u mean well u could do 1 but it wont show much after all the money and it would show with 2 plus would look so much cooler

I chose as low as i could go and still get the trolly jack under the front crossmember. Too low and its a pain to work on.

[Ratters]

Low as it will go Joe

 

I have to drive mine onto wooden ramps to get the trolley jack under the crossmember & the diff housing

IF THE SPARKS DONT FLY YOU RIDE TO HIGH.......

[orionmojo]

christ, i might need some new tyres and everything

 

nah, 2 inches is the limit atm

looks like its gotta be done!!

[cledus]

Check out Rebel MCs rat look mk2 Cortina in 'The Rat Look' thread. That's running 145lb -2" springs on the front and a set of 2" lowering blocks on the back. Will give you some idea of what you should be aiming for (in my opinion). Page 2 or 3 I think.

[pauln]

This is mine i reckon about 2 1/2 at the front on 160lbs and capri single leafs and 1 1/2 blocks at the back on 185 70s.

i'd love mine to look that cool, still concerned about the tyres, but fook it, its going 2". if it rubs too much i'll just have to take them off again. its got to be tried.
