Lowering my Citigo

Featured Replies

Hello, I have had my citigo for 5 month now and I'm looking at modifications. I was curious to see if anyone knows how much it would cost for me to lower or 'slam' my citigo. Thanks.

I have seen lowering springs kits listed for these in catalogues, I think it was eibach who make a kit for them.

not a fan of lowering,

 

some cars look ok, but not sure the citigo is one of them

 

also where would you stand on warranty having change / modified major suspension components?

You'll have to read the warranty agreements, but my guess is it'll be void.

 

Don't Skoda lower the car on some trim levels anyway?

15mm lower on Sport and Greentech models

 

Not sure if a "slammed" Citigo would look good either tbh

Beware on lowering, I've already touched a speed ramp with the front valance of the car, well the rubber splitter thing underneath. I'm always careful now when approaching anything that looks a bit on the high side, but I'm used to it with My MX-5 and you have to declare it on your insurance.

This might give you an idea of what's possible at the cheap end of the coil-over market?

I don't think a seriously lowered Citigo would look good especially if it's lower than a Sport.

Currently searching for a lowered Citigo, will post when I do

Can't find a photo :x

Friend of mine, Adam's, Citigo is 'slammed'. Don't think he's on this forum, but here it is to get an idea.

Incidentally, he uses FK Coilovers, and 15mm spacers on the rear I believe? Not sure about the spacers, but pretty certain on the coilies being FK's

I WANT, I do have spacers, but currently waiting for some new bolts to arrive..

dont really have any good straight side on pics :(

The easiest way to look at it is to look at another sport, then try to picture it 5mm lower, it really won't be that much different I believe, mine isn't a whole lot different compared to a sport, you can't really tell it's been lowered

Oh it's lower [emoji6]

Greentech is 15mm lower when it comes out from the factory:

That's more than enough.

yes, and chuck in some 17" rims and it will look even lower

Never.
