lowering

Defective · Post by **Defective** » Mon Jul 19, 2004 7:40 pm

im getting some lower springs for my money pit, and im just wondering if im gonna run into any unforseen problems...

its gonna be 40mm lower all round so its not a huge amount, but im a bit concerned about running too much camber, particularly on the rear.

My chamber hasn't been adjusted and she's fairly low (well below stock)
Have a look on my website, see wot u think.

i think that k-mac does a camber/caster kit for the starion.
For some reason i have to much caster, i don't think it's lowered. i plan to lower it soon though. Which springs/shocks company would you recommend? i was thinking along the lines of k-mac and whiteline as i deal with these companies at work.
Hope the lowering job goes well.

I have K-Mac lowered springs all round.
2.5 inches lower at the front, 2 inches lower at the back.
Handles beautifully.

I hope you're joking, otherwise do everyone a favour and sell your car and never buy another one

I have lowered King's Springs on the rear (to replace the dodgy CHOPPED ones) and it still sits damn low, but no clearance problems. With 15" wheels and 225/60 tyres there is probably a 1" gap around the wheel arch.

No, no, no! You have plenty more to say, like you told me the other night when I looked at your parking lot full of Starions :)

Don't keep everyone in the dark (especially Floorit) - tell 'em! :D
