Re: Lowerin Cinq 60mm or more!
can you please send me some links of the lowerin kits you all have, this is the kit i've seen, it states that it will lower the front 70 and the back 50, understand the front is always higher then the back however will the car look like its lowered 70mm over all??
Got no probs fittin it myself so thats okay, just want car looking low as possible without the cost of paying for coilovers.

Gave them a ring and they said it shud fit a sporting, just wonderin if anyone has any other links to full sets of lowerin kits for the sp cinq,
Many thanks,
Also one more thing lol, im thinkin of gettin 14'' alloys, think this is the best size to get considerin car hopefully gna b lowerd 60mm?

It will fit but it clearly states:
"With factory built in sport suspension lowering could be less"
So you'll actually be looking at a 50/30 split I'd guess ..... not what your after at all.
I dropped 50mm all round and had to cut half of my front bump stop off, else it would sit on the bump stop and not move at all. That was with matched dampers as well. I severely doubt if you got real 70mm spring on the front, you'd even have a suspension that moved without removing the stop totally.....and thats gonna kill off the dampers in no time.
Also on the rear with 50's i had to cut the rear stops in half as they sat on them....I'd imagine at 70mm, the rear arms wouldn't have any travel at all.
If you need/want that kind of drop adjustables is the only way tbh. And even with them dropped low, they may not be working properly and you risk skipping off then road lol

on this subject was looking on the europerfomance website for some springs myself, and noticed the 70/50 kit, do you think it would do 70/50 on a sporting or 50/30? its confusing me tbh i want coilies

I've got KW V1's on my cinq and set to the lowest they are just about right! Took helper springs off once and went to about 90mm drop and that jus dint work as the steering arm catches on the wish bone looked good tho.:slayer: So unless you're willing to do loads of work 75mm is about the max you're guna get
