vrburt 0 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Ok after spending a few hours reading about peoples cars that are lowered i still cant make my mind up about going lower. (currently riding with a 35 40mm drop). So i turn to the folks of the forum. Do you have a car dropped 60mm or lower ? and if so whats life like on the road day to day ? Things like kerbs, turning circles, car parks, speed bumps, carrying passengers, sumps and pot holes surrounded by bits of road. Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 My old VR was lowered and was used daily.Not sure on drop but was low. Yes speed bumps were a slow down and crawl over, but thats no problem.Ride was spot on but then again it had KONI Coilovers on that are about £1k + nowadays so should handle well Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 That pic of mine makes me sad. As thats when it looked good and was just starting to do proper mods. Had 312s on there with yellow stuff. As I bought the 928s to go over them as my old borbet T didnt go over em.Plus carbon fibre bonnet as well.Thats as good as it looked LOL.All went towards power over looks after then Link to post Share on other sites
