Suspenion Questions

Hiya There...

Few Questions on Saxo Suspenions,

Will Lowering springs too the Front of 1.4 Furios & Westcoast fit a VTS? or are they different...

Also will i need Upgraded Shocks at the front to fit 50-60mm Lowering Springs?, if so will the 50-60mm Lowering Springs even last for a little bit on standard Front Shocks on My VTS till i get some Shocks?,

Now if i droped The Rear too the same height 50mm-60mm would i have any trouble with it rubbing or it hittin the floor on bumps having People in the Back or with a System?..

And also i heard lots of people go 60 at the Front 80 at the Back if i did that would i have problems having a System in the Back and People in the Back?

Any help would be very greatful,

Kind Regards,

~ Dazza.

yep they will mate, all saxo suspension fitments are the same. Only thing that changes is the drop, and therefore the handling, because of the weight of the different engines

Also will i need Upgraded Shocks at the front to fit 50-60mm Lowering Springs?, if so will the 50-60mm Lowering Springs even last for a little bit on standard Front Shocks on My VTS till i get some Shocks?,

You can fit em yeah, but dont expect the handling to be that great until you uprate the shocks, and the ride will be hard that low

Now if i droped The Rear too the same height 50mm-60mm would i have any trouble with it rubbing or it hittin the floor on bumps having People in the Back or with a System?

Depends on your wheels, the tyre profiles youve got on them, how big your system is and how fat your mates are lol

And also i heard lots of people go 60 at the Front 80 at the Back if i did that would i have problems having a System in the Back and People in the Back?

Yep. And the handling would be wank

Any help would be very greatful,

hope that helps a bit

you dont need to uprate anything no but its worth uprating the shocks obviously. And make sure its lowered correctly, if its done using the spline method the bearings in the axle can be mislodged very very easily which isnt good
