hey guys n gals

been pondering wheather or not to actually drop the 5 i know the suspension is already uprated and lowered on the sport but i just feel that it could sit a bit lower especially from the rear i dont know

what do you all think

i have been pushing the car lately and feel that it lets go to quickly but that could also be the tyres as i am running the runflats on the 172's 19''


help plz

 

The original Sports suspension gives good comfort.

If you are ready to give that up, then go ahead and lower it.

Also the risk of hitting the bottom of the chassis in speedbumps etc.
grows largely if you lower it further.

I wouldn't.

 

I wouldn't worry about speedbumps since when you spot those on the road you are going to slow down alot 1st not to scrap the belly of the car and 2nd to protect the shocks. I would worry about potwholes or sidewalkd or whatever you want to climb or get down from. That's it. I would lower it a bit in conjuction iwth 19" swap

 

IMO anything lower than the sport is going to leave you grounding the car on road humps (in the UK).

I had a sport coupe and it ground out quite often.

How do you feel about just dumping the runflats - I reckon a nice new set of tyres would help... look at gizze's post:
