Technical Lowering Marea Saloon 1.8 16v

[skoda169]

Hi all i have got a 99 fiat marea saloon and would like to lower it by 50-55mm is this possable and would i need to change the shocks??
also if possable where could i get the springs from

Also would i get a set of 15" alloys on the car after this mod or would i need to keep the 14"
thanks very much

biggest drop i have found available for the marea is 40mm which wouldnt advise going lower without fitting shocks (which i havent found yet)

you are a lucky bum you can get the decent PI springs

i on the other hand can only get the -40mm Jamex springs.

as for the wheels, its down to the rolling radius of the wheel so really it wont matter on the size of wheel as long as you keep the rolling radius of the tyre the same.

i know mine will lower 40mm on 17's with 205/40 tyres

Good Luck!
