should i go any lower?????

[amoore]

hey just wondering if i should get my car lowered any further and on anyones experiences with lowering their r32??

[wreckedhead]

dack the car more at least 2 inches, looks sick low

[SS8_Gohan]

i think that looks nice now, and i think would be a perfect height for a nice kit, skirts, front/rear bar. If you go too low now, you'll be stuck with body kits if you wanna go down that path.

I think it's a good height now, and a good height for a kit if you want. Maybe focus on peformance aspects of your suspension? real low doesn't mean good handling, sway bars, stiffer shocks, etc.

cheers.

Whiteline specify 34cm from centre of wheel to wheelarch for optimal height with their kits. I'm not using their kits but I'm running same height and it feels a LOT better than what I was running previously (31F 32R). Plus I'm not afraid of my driveway no more!

I laugh at your lowness. Mine's at least an inch lower than that (barely a gap between the wheel arch and the top of the tyre)

But in all seriousness Sydney roads are crap so the lower you go the more of the road you'll feel.

Looks fine the way it is. As a rule lowering beyond a certain point just unnecessarily reduces suspension travel and screws up suspension geometry.

Unless you're after the rollin' on bags and scrapin' frame, y0, look - in which case you wouldn't care

Dont go lower.

Nosing your front bar into the ground all the time (like I do) sucks arse.

As soon as I can I lifting it.

Go lower, you just need to learn (and by the sounds of it so do some other forum users) which angles to take on certain raised bits of roads/driveways.

[ecenshu]

There is a certain height that no matter what angle you take the car it will scrape...also It doesn't handle very well. My car came from Japan with about 5mm between the guard and tyre. The result: I couldn't corner fast because it would scrape with the bodyroll.

Why buy a fast car to drive slow? So I raised it to more acceptable levels. Still low but not a lo-rider now.

As I said, on an R32 33-35cm from centre of wheel to arch is good(leaves about 1cm-1.5cm between wheel and guard).

[boj01]

It also depends on what suspension it is ecenshu (coilovers vs standard struts) and if the guards have been rolled. Amoore hasn't told us if he wants his car for show or go, and his car could be lowered more because there is no bodykit. From the pictures, there looks to be still a 35-45mm gap between guard + tyre.

There is nothing better than a car with big mags, no kit and lowered to an acceptable height.

if u go lower i reckon another inch will do the trick, having it sitting just above the top of the tyres will look good. go any lower and run the risk of struggling to get up driveways if u end up gettin a front bar.

and like others have said the condition of many of our roads are poor so u will be feeling the bumps A LOT more if u go too low

[Bax]

Go lower, looks the goods, and after all, public roads aren't a racetrack, so handling shouldn't worry you too much.

Little bit more wouldn't hurt. Make sure you roll your guards.

i this is how low mine was

the only problem was the exhaust used to hit some really steep driveways
