Lowering

Any issues relating to suspension, steering and brakes.

Lowering

by Teejay » Sat Jun 27, 2009 1:33 pm

Bit of an issue - previous owner has lowered the car with alternative springs but not sure how low.
Want to fit a new lowering kit (springs and shocks) and want to match the drop I have now, is there an easy way of finding out what the drop is ?
Cheers guys.

i just take the car along to a vauxhall dealership and ask what the standard ride hight is, then just say to him/her, i think my car has been lowered but the previous owner can u check for me. They done it for me wen i went along to ford wen i had my old car
