Decided to go slightly lower on the front so its now slightly nose heavy. Perfect ride height now imo. Thanks to Ricky-RPM.Also bought myself a smoothed bonnet but its different to the one currently on the car. The bulge isnt as big with more subtle lines on the smoothed one. I guess its from a different phase? So anyway might be going up for sale soon as I would really like a P3 one.   |

That's not going to handle so well. Had one with this ride height, it bounced all over the place in the corners and when braking heavily felt unstable. |

I beg to differ anth av had most of my gti6s lowered 60mm and never had a problem with handling on the road or track. My current is is that low, maybe even abit lower on koni coilovers with yoko paradas ans it sticks to the road like glue  Back to your car mate it looks well. Looks like a good clean example.

I cant comment on the whole car being 60mm to be fair I was talking more about the front being significantly lower than the rear. Just made the car feel really unbalanced to me |

Just made the car feel really unbalanced to me Im with you Anth,had many over the years and best for handling IMO was my rallye lowered 30mm on B8's with eibachs,anything with a bigger drop just made is crashy and jumpy. |

Miss my old diablo. Totally agree with this  It all depends on how stiff you go aswell.

My first one was lowered by 60mm when I bought it..... I hated it Had a full suspension refresh and put back to standard ride height and was miles better than when lowered. The front shocks literally fell apart when they were swapped and the rear beam was f**ked...... Scraping the floor is bad for them in more ways than one!________________________________________ Almost standard 1999 Bianca RallyeHilux InvincibleX daily 306 No.13  Carp and specialist Anglers Click here |
