Lowering question

[hjsimpson01]

wish I could get coils for my B1... Cutting is my only option... Managed to get Bilsteins $30 more than Monroe for the gas cartridges, so happy there...

I wonder if Mk1 Springs from the strut towers will fit in B1?

A good spring shop can reset your springs to any height without cutting them.

No matter what, if you car is riding on bump stops all the time, the ride is going to be shieet!

Looking 'cool' is rarely comfortable! or handles good

That really depends on what your definition of "cool" is. I've driven plenty of "cool" cars that handle well and ride well.



Tim said if you put **** suspension in your car, it'll never ride good....

cheap coils are alot safer to slam your car then cut springs, i know where id put my money.

Also whats to say you cant jack up the car for daily duties and slam it for a weekend cruise/show ect.

My point was if you ride bump stops all day long., it wont ride good! been there done that.

cut the bumpstops in half and enjoy

I cut the bump stops at least in half on my decent quality coilovers. Rides a heap better than hottuning's did at the same height.
Got strut top risers on the way and going to get some drop plates made (or perhaps make em myself). Comfort and low is achievable.

If you read up on the infamous "The Bucket", you'll find the ride quality was awesome except for when the rear beam dug into the bitumen. I'm not going to do raised rear strut towers with Porsche struts though!
