Ade 0 Posted April 20, 2007 Ok I've done a search and couldn't find any solid recommendations. As always there would appear to a mixed train of thought. I recently aquired an Mi'd 205 with mi gearbox quaife lsd 306 shocks 306 brakes at the front, 309 springs at the front and a 309 rear beam. Now other than a strangley light straight line characteristic (feels great in corners just driving along a straight road it feels very light around the centre point) I'm very happy with the way the car handles but I feel there's a bit more body roll than I'd like. So to try and reduce that I'm thinking of lowering the ride height. I don't want the car to become rigid and unpleasant to drive on the roads and I'd prefer it if the rear tyres didn't scrub the arches too much. I'm unlikley to have passengers in it often and I'm after it being fun for road use but not too sloppy for some track fun. From what I read some thought it should never rub aslong as the bump stops are still there and others thought they rub without even lowering the car. So (finally) what I'm after is opinions of if I should lower the car at all and if so what sort of height reduction should I try? Thanks for reading and any help Ade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted April 20, 2007 Now other than a strangley light straight line characteristic (feels great in corners just driving along a straight road it feels very light around the centre point) Does it have 309 wishbones? They give more grip while cornering but less in a straight line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taylorspug 7 Posted April 20, 2007 Well my 309 beam rubs slightly on the front of the arch, although it is pretty low (a bit too low if im honest). My car has standard dampers and brand new OE bumpstops. There are pictures in my sig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But thanks that would of been nice if it meant nothing was wrong Well my 309 beam rubs slightly on the front of the arch, although it is pretty low (a bit too low if im honest).

It's certainly quite a bit lower than mine though so I think I could be safe to take a bit out of the ride height without causing to problems Will keep fingers crossed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
