Lowering

[lucio_libre]

I have decided on coilovers, im waiting for a few quotes next week so i'll keepo you guys informed on what i find out. There is one strange thing though, when the guy checked the car series it was a 125, i thought it would have been a 123.

[DANZZT231]

which coilovers man?

[lucio_libre]

I'm still to receive my options Danz, when i do i will let you know.

anyone gone the TRD route??

[DANZZT231]

Hotbits sonds good, i heard they have a 1400 dollar kit for our car

[kcorro]

hotbits is custom made too so you tell how you want it and they can do it and it has helper sleeve and only $80 rebuilds per corner includes installation and testing for 2 years really good deal

[CAP]

Kcorro - was it Hotbits you were telling me a while back now can go down lower than any of the others, or was that the D2's ?

[mx83toy]

any contact detail for em???

[kcorro]

hotbits custom make

so where as the other manufacturers would start at stock ride height and then turn down hotbits can start at lowered height and then turn down which makes it go much lower so long as your guards allow for it

apexi anyone?

Northy has lovell's super low's on his ascent. Yes it's friggen low ;)

[mick0082]

What about King lows or superlows, anyone out there with pics of those.

Mines going down on King lows tomorrow, just wanted to see if i've decided on the wrong springs.

Starting to think I should have went with superlows.

Was very undecisive as i'm riding on 18's.

[shaohaok]

with those size and width wheels, u might get some guard lip clearance issues if u get superlows.

[mick0082]

Definately a possibility,

Plus i'd like to retain some sort of ride quality.

[C-rolla]

hey mick0082

hope this helps, if not sorry..this is my ascent..

standard everything except lowered on "Low King Springs"

to give u some idea of the drop..

hope it helps cheers

[mick0082]

Thanks C-Rolla

Greatly appreciated.

If mine comes down to that height i'll be happy.

Currently it got more than double that clearance from the top of the tyre to the wheel arch.

Thanks again for the pic!

[C-rolla]

no worries mate.. :)

thought i'd wack a pic where u could see the whole car..

cheers

With 18's I'd definatley stay with Kings Lows. With super lows you'll have a harsh ride and your wheels depending on offset etc will scrub and touch on the innergaurd and on lock etc. More trouble than it's worth :(

[mick0082]

C-ROLLA & SILVABULLIT,

Thanks for the advice. I think it will be ok on the lows.

Your right about the superlows though, with 18's it will be like a go-kart.

I didnt spend all that money on a new car so shoot my ride to s#!t.

I'm getting the job done tomorrow afternoon, i'll be sure to post up some pics over the weekend!

Thanks again guys.

and then get some shocks :P:P

[lucio_libre]

I have taken some measurements, the stock 05 sportivo has a gap of 70 mm from guard to tyre on the front and 80 mm on the back. Lowering it 40 mm would give you obviously 30 for the front and 40 for the back, perhaps lower after the springs set in, so being quoted for $280 for whiteline springs and $600 for eibach shockers installed, all up $880 installed, thats not a bad deal.....what do you guys reackon???

I know how much you like to wiggle you bum, but probably a good idea to see if they can throw in a whiteline rear swaybar into the package as well.
