Hi guys, I want to lower my Punto MK2B by a decent amount and I am looking at 50mm.

I have noreal knowledge on this area, and i've looked at some other threads but feel my questions still havent been answered.

I want to know if any of these springs are any good? And which ones are better.

I have also read about if you lower too much then you will need to get better dampers? Is 50mm low enough to warrant getting better dampers? If so which ones are cheapest but a decent buy.

My car is on the original 14" steelies btw, no intentions of getting alloys atm.

I also read about the front wheel camber would need to be changed if i lower by 50mm. Why is this and how would i go about this?

Thanks in advance,
Ash

How come you say 30-35mm? I'm open to any advice
Also what would you say about 40mm?

Cheers

any lowering after 30-35mm it effects the cars geometry...

dropping.it.anything will affect how the cars setup is

when youve ha it lowered u need the tracking resetting to ensure the tyres aint scrubbing

So factor tracking and possibily 2 new track rods

50mm Lowering will be fine with no scraping so long as you dont put a hugely heavy load in the car. However i would definatly recomend haveing tracking done after.

If you dont fancy going down to 50mm quite yet i do have some 35mm springs for sale.
