vtec2011 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Right, more questions on suspension The current suspension setup on my MB3 Front: 40mm EG lowering springs on MB shocks Rear: Standard EG springs on MB shocks Now as some of you may know, the rear end of my car is sitting lower than the front. So I would like to lower the front slightly. So I was wondering if front EG shocks are shorter than the MB shocks? If so, would it help lower the front end fitting lowering springs on EG shocks? Hope that makes sense, cheers people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerodeckcivic Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Take the springs off and cut 1coil away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3gdean Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Probably,,, don't know for sure.Ihave you modified the shock cups already? You can gain 10mm drop there if you have a spare set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 What about cheating and dropping the shock through the front strut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'd be looking at grinding your front fork down for 10-15mm. I think your heading for a car that handles very peculiarly with all these mixed springs and shocks. So if it's all good at the minute. Mod the fork! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtec2011 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thanks for all the comments! I suppose to be picking up front forks from Simpo at Japfest to do this mod anyway. But to be honest... I really want to lower the front before Japfest I'm trying to find another way of lowering it because I don't want to be using sleeves which are currently in the boot of my car. Oh well, I will have to wait.. Thanks for your help everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Could always use the sleeves for fest and get the forks from Adam and so them after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
