Haha Same. Just having a dilemma with it.

Rocky1722 looks awesome that low. But don't want mine quite that low. Does it look like that because its on the 17s

Harweyko looks great too. Loving the pictures in the same places lol. Mines on 16s too but want it a bit lower than this

God I'm fussy. Want it to look inbetween the 2 really lol

Mine's the Eco car and runs on the lower zs springs for better aerodynamics. At work they have not managed to clear the whole road of snow so your wheel's are in the ruts either side of this ridge of snow down the middle of the road, the front spoiler on mine makes this lovely scraping noise when i drive into work.. :rolleyes:

I have been told that the -50 mm spring will put to much pressure on the lower arms etc and that the most to lower by is 20mm.

can anyone shed anymore light on this as i want to order some springs but unsure how much to lower by

cheers

Does anyone have trouble with speed bumps on their lowered fez?

Always :(

Always :(

*coughLeicestercough*

20 millimeter maximum safe lowering is nonsense. This is obvious because all "non-service" automobile components must be manufactured so that they can withstand over double the maximum strain they would ever encounter under normal circumstances. Lowering the car does increase the strain on certain components but nowhere near enough to cause any damage.

Ah, thatnks for clearing that up. -50mm it is then.

*coughLeicestercough*

everyone was laughing at me :(

everyone was laughing at me :(

I'm surprised you could hear us laughing over the noise of scraping and sparks :P
