Beam Lowering

Recommended Posts

Hi all i basically want to know how much to lower the beam. is one big spline gonna be ok?

I know it needs a wash but it's enbarrasing anyway when its clean due to being sat like a dragster lmao.

 

I want to go from this:

so one spline is 30mm in hieght.

Yeah, it's ~30mm... one spline would probably match that up and is the easiest way of lowering it...

oh just a side note. could the rear ride height be contributing to my understeer?

Cheers,

Si

I found 1 large spline was more like 50-60mm height difference, but I'll be interested to see how you get on.

Perhaps in some theory, but in practice not really. Its far likely to be something else.

Surely with the car nosedivin so to speak, the center of gravity of the car is further forward than it should be.

The back end used to kick out far too easy when mine was like that.

how do you figure that? although i would love more oversteer. he was saying his back end used to flik out more when the rear was higher? so this would mean mine will stay glued to the road more when i lower it?
