Lowering and spacing


Rossz1

Recommended Posts

Hi guys i have had my zed for a couple of months now although it has been garaged at my dads house in aberdeenshire since december, im thinking of getting it lowered and spacing it, i have the standard rays on it as it is.

i was just wondering if anyone has any advice on lowering?

i think i am going to space it 20mm front and rear and ill be using the eibach spacers.

cheers

Spacing wise, I went 20mm eibach on the fronts, but I went for 25mm on the rears and I'm glad I did - it fills the arches wonderfully B)

 

But I like big butts, and I can not lie

 

25mm on the back is a good call. Would like 30mm but not sure on problems with it? if any?

i have ordered the 20mm spacers all round so am hoping itll look good and i ordered a pair of vredestein ultrac sessanta's for the rear arrggh i have spent alot of money today.

i might wait to lower until there is a meet and see if i can go in someones who's is lowered.

25mm drop all round on Eibach Pro Springs. 20mm Eibach hubcentric spacers.

I've run this setup for 18 months after getting it sorted at ESR. Only drawback is 'tall' sleeping policemen - but i have only had a few scraps :teeth:

 

Oh - get the camber re-set once its lowered, otherwise your tyres will wear abnormally and you will lose grip when cornering etc.

I was going to drop 30mm but I think I will have issues with arch rubbing - or does the drop bring the top of the wheel in enough (camber)? - mine is a JDM which I believe is already slightly lower than UK (not sure though??)
