hi i was wandering how low you can get with stock 120y struts by just changing springs?

anything like this possible without going coilovers or close to this height?

Thanks!

not this low haha....
but you can get to about 110-120mm chassis clearance and still have a decent amount of suspension travel

how much mm of a spring will give me 120mm clearance? Also were do you measure 120mm lowest point at the front or front part of the chasy railing?

maybe that wasn't' clear i mean what's the lowest springs i can use without the springs unseating at full travel?

Thanks!

i put golf mk1 shocks in my ute and cut my stock springs to half length, just captive and got me to this height...

cant see why you need to go much lower imho... would handle like a bag of sh!t otherwise.

lol, i got mine that low with cut springs, bit of an un-comfy ride but it got there, got coilovers now, good investment with some short shockies and stiff springs, and your also going to either have to flip the springs or put lowering blocks in or have them reset, but remember the lower the car is , the more uncomfy the ride is

how much did you cut of the stock springs? is that the pic of the coilovers or with cut springs?
also im guesing it not legal height do cops realy pull you over for it? when you go that low does the car start to bounce more like you feel every bump?

Thanks!

#OOPS# yeah you feel every bump, the wheel bounces up into the well, and the rear was very bouncy, i cut my stock springs pretty much in half, and was never pulled over by cops, they actually drive next to me and give me the thumbs up most of the time, the thing is, if you do something right , you wont have problems, i think you can also get your local suspension shop to cut you some springs, i think they get stiffer springs and cut them so its not and floppy in the front. but if you drop the front of your car you have to drop the back other wise youll get some weird drag stance happening. a good start would be to invest in some good shocks.

EDIT: the picture is with the cut springs, i ride it a bit higher now to allow for more travel in the shock

I might save up for some coilover sleeves and just put in blocks in the rear with new shocks and see how it rides if not il get them reset.

any idea what size the font struts are in a 120y 41mm?

Thanks!
