hi guys

my s2 rst is on koni adjustables lowerred bout 50mm currently on 15"tsw stealths (yes stealths) hahaha.

fancied 16" mondeo zetec rims, wud they fit wivout any mods?

Shouldn't be too much of a problem, but I would personally not run anything lower than 30mm, as the handling just deteriarates imo. I run 17"s dropped 25mm (although sits lower it seems ) with no arch mods and it used to catch on on side with 2 people in the car, got round that by fitting spring assistors and jobs a goodun

 

As above. I wouldn't suggest 50mm lowering. Not only that, the Koni's aren't really up to that amount.

 

i thought that i brought it like that u see, the buy sed its 50mm drop. cud be rong i guess. but it is well low whichi aint really to happy about. ill get a pic of it on the side

 

heres a pic. how low u think it is

 

looks sweet if thats they way it actually works out!

 

That looks pretty low mate, just to give you an idea here is mine on 17's 25mm drop on PI stuff

 

mine is sitting on 17 x 7.5s with 205/40s with 40mm
drop onj koni adjustables, all 4 arches have been ground down
and i still scrape even when im on my own on back if i hit a
bump or manhole cover at speed, its really pissing me of so
atandard wheels may be going back on or swap springs for 25mm
ones but i like it as it is.
im open to suggestions.

 

That looks the nuts.

Why anyone would want to lower an RST any more than 25-30mm is beyond me. OK, so they do look good slammed, but they are shite to drive. Also, unless you have special dampers that are designed to take that kind of lowering, they will bottom out and eventually leak.

 

Also, 7.5x17" wheels are too big. I used to have 7x17" ET35 and thats the limit as far as I would suggest. Even with those wheels and 30mm lowered, it used to hit the arches too often for me.

 

they are Rs 7s so adamS2rst has done it, mayhave to go for 25mm drop

 

18's and lowered 70mm at front, 60mm at back. rubs occasionally and handles like shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

but looks the doggies danglies

 

ABSOLUTELY. SHE HATES IT COS GIVES HER SORE TITS. HA HA. But i dont care cos its mine and she doesnt av to get in it.

 

Just one question, how did you lower it 70mm?? Coilovers??

 

Chopped?

 

60 mm lowering springs. the front struts have been modified where they go into the hub so as they now sit 10mm proud of the underside of the hub. still has clearance at cv boot. might not be to everyone's liking but it does work. couldnt justify the price of coilovers when i was doing the suspension.

 

tonyturbo - Lovely car

My's on 18" and lowered 35mm at front, 35mm at back










Happy Xmas

 

truly stunning car mate. looks lower than mine. i might change suspension to summit of better quality. just using g-max just now to keep it mobile but not really stiff enough. would like coil overs but dont think u get them for the back. could make them i suppose.!!does your wheels rub anywhere? mine rub on arch where it meets bumper. cant trim anymore as nothing left to trim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
