right guys i have got a mk1 gt and i fitted lowering springs to it yesterday! but it still looks like a monster truk and i just dont understand why :S anyone got any ideas on this???? help will be repped

 

[bucketep91]

what lowering springs? where did you get them? how low was it supposed to go?

they are ebach springs got them from my mate and the box says 60mm

 

[corofin12345]

what shocks you using?? mine are 30mm lowering springs and its fairly low. 195/50/r15 tyres

 

[ginor]

I got RS*R springs on mine and they've highered it aswell, standard new shocks and its gone up about 30mm all round on 195/50/15 Parada's lol

It will do mate, you have to let them settle with the weight of the car on it for a few weeks before its noticeably lower.. Im not sure how true this is if there 2nd hand though. I would imagine if they arent that old then with them being off a car a wee while theyl need to settle stil though

 

[pig666eon]

depends also on your wheel size i have a a set of 17s on it for now its lowered 40mm and varis kit it also looks like a monster truck

 

[corofin12345]

which way did you put them on...?? the coils that are close together on lowering springs should be at the bottom

 

[craig_smart_ep82]

would the fact i hvae 16's on a gt make muh difference from 15's ??

 

[corofin12345]

defo..

 

[Johnboy GT]

a bit yeah i would say. Nothin drastic though. Like Corofin said, you do have them the right way round bud aye?

 

[craig_smart_ep82]

so if i was to put 15's on there it would look lower of ourse butwould that take away the gap between the wheel and arch

 

[craig_smart_ep82]

as far as i know yes the close together coils at the bottom yeh

 

[stuarty1]

that should make no difference realy bud 60 it should be on the tiles you should of compared them to your old springs you had in only way is ta take one out and compare

 

[corofin12345]

so if i was to put 15's on there it would look lower of ourse butwould that take away the gap between the wheel and arch

the car would look lower ya.. a whole inch too be exact

 

[Johnboy GT]

yeah dude the gap will close up, but like a said let it settle a week or two before its comfortable with the car weight.

 

[corofin12345]

another thing.. you have 16"s on and 60mm lowerings springs.. is it not rubbing like a bitch???? i honestly dont think they are 60mm mate
