    thinking of lowering my williams

    seriously thinking about getting the wiliams lowered probably 35mm next week, had my old valver lowered the same distance and it looked sweet think the willy will look awesome with the rear wheels tucked in the arches and will probably slightly improve handling (if thats possible) whats peoples opinions? does anyone have any good pics of lowered willys? oh also thinking about some rondal turbos, love the look of them.

    maybe because it was a compromise of handling/ride, will be firmer when lowered maybe too firm but i can live with it. will look great though. what about the rondals?

    Rally cars ride very high for a reason.


    Only cars that run on smooth tracks need to be lowered.

    Standard williams appearance all the way.

    Engine modding is perfectly acceptable though. :D

    my car has a hill power stage 1 conversion and full magnex, dont have the cash at the moment to go down the head/cams route so tempted to fettle with the supension. maybe i should get a full kit, spax/koni. i really like those ronal turbo wheels as well, think they would look sweet on the willy. has nobody on here got them apart from winston?

    Mines been lowered (before my ownership) one spline 30mm if your wanting to see how one looks.

    Handles fine on the twisties and around the track.

    But my torsion bar is siezed solid....so there is no way i can raise it back to standard.
