normal ride height or low??

[number1]

Right im sick to death of scraping over every sodding speedhump i come to and inside edge tyre wear... thinking about using my koni adjustables with 172 springs on the front, with koni dampers on the rear and standard torsion bar height, maybe a set of polybushes on the ARB

Anyone think this will handle ok? want it to ride like a standard car but handle like a lowered one

I reckon most will say...

Willy track with AVO coilovers, but leave the coilovers as high as possible or at standard height :P

Went to tour of cornwall tonight, got stuck on a speedhump, and took 15 mins to negotiate 100yds of bumpy lane, im fed up with scraping up the underside of my car it's going back up on the back

How low is your car currently?

[number1]

one spline on the back, for some reason this one scrapes more than the other 2 lowered ones ive had.... proper bottoms out!!

iv only ever drove my williams at normal height so havnt seen the benefits of lowered /coilovers
but with standard height speed bumps are no problem railway crossings n stuff can be a blast :D i dont worry about scraping at any speed
i dont use it for track but for every day i think its the obvious choice
with what your talkin about using i think it would be a good combo
172 are only 2mm shorter i think

[Coops]

get your rear shocks changed mate, sounds like they may be badgered!

my old valver was silly low but never bottomed out even on speed humps or god awful sheffield roads

standard rocks

personally i'd go for a lowered/coilovered set up.

shocks are brand new, its no lower than my other clio's to look at, there jamex dampers and theres nothing wrong with them... apart from being jamex lol
