Lowering the saxo

9th December 2007, 16:43

Spent the best part of my weekend setting up the suspension on my new vtr,
i bought the jamex coilover kit and had the torsion bar slammed at the local garage..

the front seams to bottom out on every single little bump..

even feels like i could roll over a stone and it would bottom out

any idea why this could be doing it...???

its on its lowest setting of 30mm and still seams to do it! is there any fitting quides on the internet, just to help out and see where i may have gone wrong!

any one else bought the kit and had similar problems???

oh fair enough, give it a go yourself theres some decent guides on the internet, dont think the garage would charge a mental amount though!

i see your buying the 40mm springs?? how much you going on the back??

shouldn't do that mate must be something wrong or could not be lowered 30mm.

hmm, im thinking just taking the coilovers out and just replacing 60mm springs on standard shocks... waste of money but no point wrecking the car aye
