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 exact same problem, any speed bump, slight dip or incline in a road and i was F*******.lol. I measured it and it came at 1" off the ground due to the bumper. This oviously resulted in the bumper eventually being cracked and getting a new one to bring the car to 3" from the ground.

 

So overall i would recommend that you change your bodykit first, but then i am sure it will work out cheaper to adjust the suspension higher if possible.

When i fitted my strosek front i could barely get on my drive. So it was on for about 2 weeks and then i got a 99-spec and swapped over. Now its back to stock height and its MUCH better. No problems getting on the drive and speed bumps - ha they dont scare me :D

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

 

 

 

The main problem is the front overhang, eg the length of the body in front of the wheels. From the picture it looks like your front is worse than a standard one, so that won't help at all.

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

 

 

 

You need to do something about your offset too....subscribe would be the first thing you need to do. You won't have to copy/paste into every single reply. It's only £20!!!! :D

I go over speed bumps everyday and i never have any problems :D

Ooo i wouldnt advise buying suspension just to raise it, no way lol

 

Just leave it how it is until the front bumper gets really bad then replace with something else, like say a nice 99spec front end which actually has more clearance than the pre 99 spec bumpers.

 

Im sure youl get bored soon enough with the zeemax front ;)

rofl drivers side by wheel arch fixing is already going i think had to put new bolt init :P.

which ones the 99 spec bumper :)

 

you likey?

 

 

i know it looks low but its coz its dropped on very low suspension where the top of the tyre is hiding about 1cm under the arch.

 

the bumper is urethrane so it will last alot longer and can take a good beating.

Dude, stop posting pics of your car in EVERY single post! :rofl:

Are you sure it stock? you would'nt really be able to tell by looking at most springs to see if they are lowereing springs or not.

 

Any more pics of the car from side profile ?

i got this pic

 

that is NOT stock :D well i dont think it is anyway.

but by golly the front is rather low ol chap so is the rear and the sides.

lol very true :D i think it is stock maybe ime wrong :tongue::tongue::tongue:

Gotta remember chaps, springs sag over time.

Only way to be 100% sure is too jack i up and have a look at them.
