hi, hopefully getting another 6 again soon, the old 1 was lowered 60mm with gmax springs and the rear lowered to match, that was it.

Just wondering whether you guys have a better setup in mind, ideally want it really low again, but do uprated shocks fit. Really want to know what you would recommend as the best setup to stay at 60mm. Thanks for any advice.

doesn't really matter a great deal what you get, because at 60mm it'll ride and handle like a dawg regardless unless you get race suspension which on the road will leave you booking chiropractor visits every other week.

stick to 25-30mm and they'll look so much better, be practical and handle quite bloody fantastically, and be comfy Thumbs up

Jesus the six in your avatar looks like its broken Doh

I would get some nice coilovers and drop it a max of 40-45mm, thats if you change the wheels as mine looks a little silly on 35mm with 16's and rubber bands for tyres Laugh

If sticking with clones then go with what welshy says Smile

You say best set up, but for what? Handling or looks?

Looks are subjective, if you want to slam get a Golf : )

Cyclones, with 55 profile tyres and a 35mm drop is a good starting point. 16" rims with 45 profiles are the same circumference.

With a bigger drop, or bigger rims the handling starts to get worse.

If you want the tyre up inside in the arch, buy one of these.
