lowering my cc

CYRIL THE SWAN · Post by **CYRIL THE SWAN** » Thu Jun 26, 2003 8:00 pm

have just joined the forum and have to say how helpful it's been.

I have a aegean blue 2.0 se cc and am delighted with it. have done all the mods (lexus lights,quad, colour coding, arches, hoops etc etc)

have just put on kahn rss 17's and i have to say they are the muts nuts and my last job is to lower the car. the only problems i have are:
1)my road is cobbled and
2)i have a steep drive

so if i wanted to lower it by 40mm would it be affected by these? as i said great forum and any help would be appreciated.

ummm 40mm shudnt be too too much of a problem.....

but how steep is your drive and where it joins the road how much of an angle does it make????

the angle of the drive is not that steep but only about 80mm clearance on back arch left when parked :x

lowering should be fine - just don't fit a front splitter - endless problems when combined with lowering
