80





















Very slowly

depends how big your wheels are!

90!! i managed 95 on 14's for a while..speed bumps werent the problem, it was the random bumps in the road lol

[jason11]

mines on 14s lowered 85 rear n 75 front

[souf polo]

mine are wound to the bottom on jamex coilovers, (80mm, roughly)
i took the helper spring out of the front ones a couple of weeks ago so i could go lower! i feel like a nodding dog! like henry01 said, random bumps in the road are a problem! normal spped humps are fine, but the separated square ones (which my part of south london are flooded with! ) are the enemy! i have to go over a wheel on each square hump, or goodbye sump! heres some pics, excuse the dirt!

my g/f has 15" brocks and is down roughly 80mm all round on FK Highsports and there is absolutely scrubbing!! (even on the rear with a sub and 2 amps and stealth shelf in the boot)

120mm goes over speed bumps with a bit of grunt and scraping and gettin stuck

LOL


thats the way forward that.

i though about a thin sheet of metal welded under mine so i could go low and still use the tracks i do now, i've already managed to rip my exhaust off, and the one i have now doesn't sound healthy lol.

80 probably best for going over slowly (1-3 mph), 60 for going over reasonably slowly (5mph)

[polopaul]

120....................and go the long way round

[willriseley]

120....................and go the long way round

nah thats bull$%&* 120mm and GO the hard way,just rip it over the bump till its over the other side then carry on

[big_pete]

ive got my highsports down as low as they go on 15's and i can take most ramps slowly, multi-storey car parks are a b**ch tho lol
