Flashback Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hi All, I'm currently redoing my suspension, re-bushing all over with new adjustable coilovers. I was originally thinking of a modest 10mm drop as I drive this on the road as my daily, but now I'm thinking if I should go a little bit more. What does everyone think would be a good drop? My set up sat on 19s with 265/30 and 295/30 front and rear. Rear arches rolled. Not looking for any speed bump hassles or indeed slammed in any way. Cheers!

coldel Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 There is no need to bump this, you posted it up at midnight and no one has responded by 9am. Some common sense required here along with some patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 15mm-20mm. Anything more than that would also require camber arms to adjust the geo properly. Also, not really worth going more than that, you'll scrape on all speed bumps etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're fully adjustable the question was in mm how far to lower, 10, 12, 15, 20 etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeHardy2011 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 20mm is a nice drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeHardy2011 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 If you have 19's you also have a little bit extra ground clearance to play with of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolling radius is the same regardless of 17", 18" or 19" wheels assuming you stick to OEM tolerances. In the case of the OP, the car is already 10mm lower due to the chosen tyres.

JakeHardy2011 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I presume some people don't stick with exactly the same sidewall profile even on the same size rim... very small difference but thought it would make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Perhaps, but it's unlikely anyone choosing bigger wheels would want more arch gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
