lowered suspension

Apr 23rd, 2002, 20:41

I'm still trying to find a good lowered suspension set-up for my T5 estate. Can anyone help with advice on what they've tried, and the lessons learned on what works and what is just not worth having?.
My car's suspension is knackered, so I thought I may as well replace it with something a little lower and uprated, and then I'll fit some new wheels to finish it off!!

Hi Nigel,

Phone Don at Kalmar. He has done extensive suspension work on his S70 and can give you advice based on loads of real world R&D.

Another option may be to fit suspension from an 'R' series 850 car if you can find one in the scrapper.... depends on your budget really !

You're unlikely to find good suspension in a scrapyard - it's one of the most likely things to be damaged in a smash.
