Shlammed!

Lowered the car 2" on the front now to match the rear. Only thing is, its gone lower than the back to give a nose down look. Looks kinda cool in a way but i might lower the back abit more. What you reckon?

 

 

 

 

 

Also, may need to get new manifold made earlier than expected as i have 1.5" clearance Keeps the d*cks in BMWs off my arse when they get covered in sparks tho

 

[RETRO_AL]

Lower the rear another inch

[hotrodholty]

[Trevmk3]

[garyv6100e]

[caprinerd]

drop it at the rear but tunnel the floor and set the exhaust in it

[walsh253]

Yep get that back end down more

[fezza]

Looks awsome mate

 

I like it without the decals too

[mk1rob]

Cheers for the comments! What would be the safest way to lower it another inch on the back? Another 1" block or decambered springs? If decambered springs, can anyone recommend a place that does it? Cheers

[Deano1351]

Gartrac does decambering, about £35 i think, heres a link

What i cant understand is, its got 2" blocks on the back but it doesnt seem to be as low as other peoples with 2" blocks? Does anyone know why this could be? Its got single leaf springs and bilstein turreted shocks if that makes any difference to ride height?

Cheers

[samurai]

I have single leafs and -2 inch blocks as you can see in the picture,yours does look abit high...Looks amazing tho without stripes

[Russian Bear]

I had me 2x mk2 Zephyr multi leaves decambered 2 inch and renovated by them cost £99.

 

then i added 2 inch lowering blocks aswell

ooh aah aah...evil larf!!!

[Boreham]

 

any lower and you'll be dodging caterpillars next year.....

 

[kevmk2]

Get them decambered and put a 1" block on it, should be level with the rim at the back then

Some leafs are harder than others thats why some sit higher than others

[mk1rob]

 

any lower and you'll be dodging caterpillars next year.....

 

 

F**k practicality and all that!

 

Cheers for the advise on decambering springs. ill look into it!

just remember,

 

if sparks dont fly, your way too high!

[Gonzo]

Bah. I like the nose down look! Any lower and you'll not be able to drive it without constantly worrying about twatting the underside...

[TwoLitrePinto]

i would like the nose down look if it had some meaty back tyres to go with it

 

but theres so much space there it makes the back wheel look lonely bieng so far out of the arch

 

lower it to match the front and get a custom straight through made with no but the backbox and get them to make it sit right up.

 

if your driving it on the road i would say bring the front up an inch

[mk1rob]

Its the manifold that hangs down low and is the only thing that hits the ground on normal roads (minus speedhumps etc). Got a quote for a custom one today.......£500!! Think ill be gettin existing modified, unless anyone knows of any types that sit tight to the underside?
