Lowering R32

[dru32]

Hey guys,

Is it hard work to lower an r32 by yourself (cut the springs). Would i need to do anything else if i were to do this. I only want it lowered 1-2inches. The wide tyres wont allow anymore.

What needs to be done?

If it would be too hard, how much would it cost to get done properly with smaller springs? and where is a good place to take it? Im on the northside of Brisbane.

Thanks,

Dear God no don't cut the springs :eek:

IMHO I'd take it to a suspension place and look into it there. I think with lowered springs, you'd also need harder shocks. If you can afford it look into coil overs...

Good Luck

Just an observation, but someone who would like to cut the springs is hardly going to be able to afford coil-overs...

Don't cut the springs, just save up for some new ones, maybe $600 odd for all 4 corners.

Good luck

Probably true...but will he need harder set shocks? If so than saving for a set of 2nd hand coil overs may not be a bad idea??

anythings possible for the right price!!!

I have a lowered 32 and my shocks in the rear are rooted!!!!! Back Left especially!

Need to change asap, all the fluid has sprayed out everywhere!

Very uncomfortable to drive.

Save yourself some heart-ache and do the best suss work you can, it is worth it!

newbie question D:

what do coil covers do? and what benefits do you have with using them?

most coilovers are set up harder for better suspension, but are set up for the lowe ride, not like cut springs.

[dru32]

so it would cost about $600??

It just looks a bit out of place at the moment.. as if it has been raised.

And everyone seems to talk about King springs aswell. Haven't looked for their site.
