Ok, figured a few of you might know a bit about this.
Especially that Dojj bloke..
I've been told that it's not a wise move lowering a 4be estate too far, but mine's on stilts. It's daft. The XR4be is standard ride height, but it's done 104k and it's pretty obviously on the original springs. It's lower than the G reg, lowered, 4be I had a few weeks ago the the extent of when they were parked side by side the G reg mirrors were about 2" higher than the ones on the D plater.
The estate is on 17"s, which doesn't help.. it's on Konis, and all the daft self levelling b0ll0cks has been removed from the back, but it's higher than Cheech and Chong.
Now, my problem is this, I don't want to lose it's carrying abilities too much, and it certainly corners far better than the XR, but according to bloke I bought it off it's likely to turn the driveshafts into drill bits if I lower it too far due to the extra loadings.. but it looks daft...
Can I get away with 35mm droppage do you think? My Cosworth was slammed at the front, but only slightly lowered at the back. This combination worked fine, but the Cossie was only 2wd..
What do you lot reckon?
