Hi Guys!,

I have recently picked up an 05 130 comfort and would like to start the modding with some lowering!, not looking to go completly slammed but a definate drop is required! ; )

Any tips, requirements before I start?, looking at coilovers and wondered are any other parts needed like droplinks etc?

cheers

You have two options really, coilover's or springs, springs are cheap and cheerful with a maximum drop of 40mm IIRC, coilovers sound like a nightmare ride but many have been suprised how comfy this is in mine............

All of the above is of course geared on what wheels you run also, if your running big hoops and rubber bands then the ride will be a lot harsher............. :yes:

No need for drop link work though however................

Cheers Baker!,

nice looking car in your sig!

And so the work begins!

Im gonna get my "S" lowered as well ... but after new year

Am I not reading your original post correctly? You want to lower your car but isn't it lowered in the picture above?

18" or 19" BBS CH's aren't they? Reps?

Damn it, I hate it when I see pictures like that....... if only I had the cash to do that

So what set up did you opt for?

Just went for the cheaper FK setup!, I think they are High Tec?, again very reasonable price!

Just looking at some styling options at the mo!, the rear oem spoiler arrived and also a rear window spoiler!, not much else needing done I would say!

Around £300 I assume, nice addition, I assume they are coilovers........... :|

Look forward to seeing the pics...........

How much have you lowered by?

Looks the dogs BTW

Pretty sure it's 40mm.

Thought so. It's looks so much lower than standard but when you look at 40mm on a ruler it's nothing

I've just chickened out of the 40mm drop and gone for Eibachs - booked in next Thursday so I'll post pics when it's done
