Re: i want to go lower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (damdam)

with the H&R Race you should be about 2" front and 1.75" rear.

want low? take your springs out, cut the bumpstop in half, and put only the strut back in.
in all seriousness however, slamming a car to the ground will not help it with handling - youll be bouncing all over the place. looks-wise and depending on how low you want to go, it may not look right then either.
my $0.02

i have H&R race springs with billstein shocks and i think it lowered 2" all around...and the car is still so high
i've asked everywhere and everyone...no good replies yet...unless you cut the springs, but that is a very bad suggestion...if you find a way let me know

Get Coilovers
Re: i want to go lower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (damdam)

first off, how long has your suspension been on? you gotta let it settle.
second, you can get the front about a 1/2 inch lower by getting lowering spring caps or lowering bushings.

Remember, quality suspension parts will not "settle". Yes, the moment you first do your install, lower your car, and drive it around the block, it will settle a bit. But, after that, it should not come down at all. It sounds like he's had his kit on for awhile, so I'd venture to say that it's as low as it's going to get.
Coilovers are really your best bet for wanting to go real low. Get a good quality set of coilovers, like H&R, KW, etc. and put it on its nutz! http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Get coilovers. H&R coilovers go really low.
Re: i want to go lower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (einsig)

I have H&R Race with Bilstien Sports, my firend has Neuspeed Race and Konis. My Friends car is a bit lower (one finger about) in the front and even in the back, while the rear on mine is up about .25" (because H&R leaves the car 'racked').
Maybe you want Neuspeed Race?
Re: i want to go lower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Boostin20v)

Do what I did. Sell your aftermarket shocks and springs and buy coilovers.

You could bag it.


Would be a lot of work, but they do sell kits if you want to "lay" and still be able to go off-road occasionally.

sorry that is BUTT ugly
Re: i want to go lower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (CDNCT)

i had it on more than half a year now.......still seem HIGH.....
Re: i want to go lower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Sub-LimeVW)

Very ugly when it's totally aired up, but definately functional if you like the outdoors. It was just a suggestion. You can have a complete coil-over shock/spring combo made to your specs if you are serious and have enough money to spend...
