Lowering

Featured Replies

Im thinkin of lowering my 2004 fiesta flame about 40mm but not totaly sure on what i need. I hear that i would only need springs but nt to sure. and if i lowered it 40 wat would b the best size of alloys for it that dont rub?? any help would b brillaint cheers...



40mm will be fine with no rubbing. Springs are all you need, you could change the shocks but there really is no point (or so I was led to believe)What kind of springs are you going to go for?

if i lowered it and put on a set of 17s would there b a chance?? n tell you the truth i aint to sure yet any sugestions?? want a gd set but dnt wana spend to much money on them.. thanks for ur message

I was lowered on eibachs on my Mk6 on 17's. No scrubbing at all

you will have no problems lowering 40mm with standard shocks and 17" alloys (205/40/17)

the best springs to get are progressive type.

gaz, what springs did you get?

I went for 35mm Eibach Pro-kit. You also get a Sportline Kit that drops 40mm which will be more for you?
