lowering my v6 eventually

Post by JohnnyP »

whats the best mix n match set up I can put on my 94 hatch v6, would rather have it sitting on the level instead of its ass sitting higher, been hearing some chit chat about using corsa springs, just wondering about stresses put on rear end, plus with such a heavy lump upfront, and tyre wear being an issue, (just put another new set on the front after 10k oops) not looking to go too low, maybe twenty mm front drop, but not too sure about how much to drop the rear???

Forget corsa springs, they aren't designed for anything heavier than a corsa....

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Nova corsa rear springs have been used on cavaliers since God was a lad. It makes them sit level rather than ass high which looks shit in my opinion.
