Do i really need new shock absorbers if lowering my willy 2?

[jimwilly80]

Hello all,

Please help i have a willy 2 on pretty much new standard shocks (just over a year old) but want to lower it by 35mm or 50mm (ideally 50mm) but every single website i go to all say i need shortened shock absorbers ie koni/spax etc. really want to lower it (mainly for looks) can anyone help? also has anyone got f and r for sale?
let me know
thanks james

Just leave it as is. They are good enough standard and look shocking with a drop.

Agreed - if it has the correct suspension it should look purposeful enough! If your set on lowering I would just go for 15mm kit

30mm lowered looks good on these cars too

Yea, bollocks, you don't have to have new dampers. Springs and just adjusting torsion bar will do for starters, coilovers are next tbh though!
