hey guys just need to no if anyone has there car as low as mine cuz i cant get over speed bumps and cant even get it on the drive way cuz its a type of slope

 

just wanted to see anyone thoughts on it or advice what to do or even if its cool as it is? :D:D:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

 

i had this trouble in the end i had enough i brought bigger wheels and lifted the susppension on the front that has helped loads still have a bit of trouble but its much easier to live with i could go higher but wanted to keep the low look

u got coilovers? adjust them up and then get it alligned again.

Mine is very low, and I dont go down streets with bumps in

if ya can get a finger between the arch and the top of the tyre then its not low enough lol

hehe i think ile save some cash and get some bigger wheels onit tyvm guys for the help :D:D:D :D:D:D:D:D

 

I am not sure bigger wheels will make any difference, its the suspension that lowers the car?

hmm maybe ile leave it as it is till Z009 and see what ppl think then is great as it is just cant put car on drive rofl

:P

I think you are right.

I think you are right.

 

depends if the rolling radius changes.

Do you reckon you could change it enough on a zed to make the kinda difference he needs? I mean without it scraping the arches and what not?

If you went up an inch in wheel size, and kept the same profile tyre, then you'd raise the car by half an inch. However, I think people usually go for a lower tyre profile when upping the wheel diameter, so in actual fact it would be less than half an inch.

is it the arches that are scraping or the car scraping the ground? I assumed it was the car scraping the ground, in which case whether it would lift it enough depends entirely on how much it's currently not clearing the bumps by.

sorry, my posts are just really vague and not much help at all!

is my front bumper hitting the ground cuz its low but also the front bumper is quite long as well :P

 

Ive got the same problem with my zed my front bumper is really low, its got some splits in it from a fight with a speed bump:mad: so i avoid roads with them in if i can. Im running on 17 in wheels with 45 profile on the front& 40 on the rear

maybe the way forward is hydrolic suspension lol :D:D

 

well whatever u do dont just raise the rear or the front bumper will have even less clearance lol.

What suspension is fitted? like i said if you have coilovers (being as low as it looks you may well have) raise it a cm or two and have it tracked simple, theres no other better solution, how far are the tyres from the top of the arch?

not sure what suspesion is onit only had the car 3 weeks ile take a look tomorrow and see what i can do with it

i may just leave for now and avaid anything unessasery

hehe never had any clearance problems with my FTO :D:D

mind you the FTO wasnt as fun to drive :D:D:D:D

 

Oi i've got an FTO - its a belter :D

 

If you look at an FTO next to a zed (which i can :D ) you will see there is a mahoosive difference! The FTO looks like a freakin 4x4 compared to a zed :rofl:

hehe :P i wrote mine off :'( well ile keep my zed as it is till the z009 and see what you guys think you guys no whats what :D:D:D

 

Oooooo a red one - very nice :D :bow: Don't see many red uns, i've had 2 and they have both been that silver/grey colour, lol.

:tongue:tyty:tongue::D:D

 

it looks like its on stock suspension to me its how low the bumper is thats your problem.mines on standard rims and suspension and it looks the same i seem to catch the standard bumper on everything round here.if i had your one on mine it would of broke by now:rofl::rofl:

 

think cause its droped on its bellend and has titchy wheels

The majority of your clearance problems are because of the low aftermarket front bumper, rather than suspension height.
