Just wona see if any1 no's how low ya can go wit the extra bump stops still in and if ya go to low will this mean your just driving around on the bump stops all the time making the suspension pointless.

Mine won't go lower then 25" that's frrom the ground to the arch and wit 18s on a 40profile.

Mine are right down (worn driveshafts be damned !). I'll do the measurement when I get back tonight Smithy.

When I get the 18s though I'll be raising them a few turns as the front arch is v v tight . For some reason the back ones have a bit more clearance to the arch liner.

Then again I could raise them back up to normal height which will probably same on wear and tear and make it handle better Doesn't get so many wtf is that a Skoda looks though

Wind them down too much and you'll:

1) put holes in your arch liners.

2) knacker you drive shafts.

...too much is less than 2 fingers width.

So, when will you be lowering the suspension then.........seems a bit high to me.

...and the quality of that blacktop is atrocious Des

Right then... lowest it will go on KW 2s (after they've settled) is 24" on the front on 17s. It would go lower but that would involve letting the tyres down.

Backs are 1/2 inch higher. I think you could go a touch lower on the back by removing the purple adjusting thread thingy ma bobys completely.

I lowered it a bit further than on that picture at the weekend and set my rear ARB to it's stiffest setting.

After a spirited drive home I have decided to return the ARB to its medium setting and raise the KWs about half an inch on the front. I think the front tyres are scrubbing a bit and the car seems to want to go in a straight line rather than round bends.

What I like is that it's fun to experiment and coilovers give you that possibility

If you want to go snowplough low then I have read in MAX POWER that airbags or hydraulics are the ones to go for :sofahide: :saythat: :saythat: :peepwall:

Thanks for that statap have you removed the extra bump stop 24" is the same 25" on 18". I think we maybe driving around on the bump stops i'll have to remove the back ones later and see how low it will go!

Fit Sumpguard, others have holed theirs! I'v driven a 306 for the last 4 years that's been lowerd 60mm on irish roads :eek: ! The skoda is low but its no where nere the ground to be need a sumpguard, those people just need glass's

Or drive somewhat enthusiastically. Trust me, the sump is exposed on the octy.
