Which springs drop 35mm?

I think Apex ones from ECP drop by that. Not 100% on that though.

scratch that, just looked and they show only H&R which drop 30mm.

and seen that Apex is 35mm, no idea why ECP have taken them off though :|

You might want to adjust your linky to ones that work with a 6Y Fabia (a 1.4 petrol 6Y Fabia)..

Not low enough! Im down 100mm and there is still space under the car, gonna need a different set to get lower. And a grinder to make more of a hole for the drive shaft

And better CV joints.

And a new sump

haha, got spare shafts and can change em in 20 mins, but no problems as yet.

sump is safe so far, just gotta keep your wits about you.

I believe dsmithmobile is about 30mm lower than me and also has no issues apart from shiny silver chassis rails lol

got some HnR 35mm springs was juust wondering cause i could get some 50mm ones but would i need to change the shocks over?

sorry to sound all nooobie about all this just my first car project..

You should really change the shocks, keep the same ones and they will fail quickly because you'll be running them in a different position on the shaft where dirt etc. can collect and wear out the seals. Much better to get new ones at the same time, to avoid this happening.

Plus you'll have run out of droop and be resting right on your bumpstops

100mm! How do you get over speed bumps??

.. or stones on the road? haha

there are 3 bumps locally, 1 of which i can go over if im at 45 degrees to it. The rest are no go

yep, that. If that's the route you go down, I'd suggest a full lowering kit which will have been put together for you already with a good shock/ spring combo.

One of the forum sponsors might be able to help.

This is mine down 30mm
