Lowered Mk1 fabia

[FrodoJay]

Hi all, i lowered my Mk1 fabia a few weeks back, and all of a sudden, my driver side drive shaft has started to rub on my anti roll bar. I've raised up the front a bit more as to see if it would work but it hasnt fixed it. is there anything i can do to rectify this as cheaply as possible?

 

cheers in advance

Either,

 

Raise it up more

 

Or,

 

Shorter drop links

 

Or,

 

Put your old suspension back on.

 

 

What suspension have you put on and whats the drop? If its dropped on coils you'll need shorter links.

Mondeo droplinks

Stop messing about put the correct kit on, forget lowering car.. (only my opinion)?

ive got a set of JOM coilovers. I had to put shorter links on, but would i have to put even shorter ones on?

Nope, you just need to fit a decent suspension kit, AP seems to be the minimum accepted standard. JOM is no good.  :p

I have JOMs fitted on the lowest settng with helper springs in,i had to cut 50mm out of my standard droplinks and weld back together in a sleeve,theres lots of clearance now.

+1

Was there a vast improvement of the handling by lowering it by the way?

Could it be that it is too low ?
