Title: Suspension right height
Post by: PETE SMITH on April 02, 2005, 07:55:15 PM
Has anyone ever lowered the rear suspension but not the front??
I guess it would throw out the set-up, but the RX seems slightly more "arse-up"!
I\'m talking only small ride height changes btw.
We all know lowering is an image matter as well as handling, but i can\'t face front spoiler lip splittage on inclines!!:eek:
Pete:cheers

Hi Pete,

I dropped mine for the same reason a few years ago , you should be OK with a 30mm drop from memory.

If you do it have a measure after and provideing your still slightly higher at the back even by say 15mm you will be OK.

( If you drop the back lower than the front you risk high speed instabilaty on these cars)
