im thinking of lowering my punto mark 1 35mm does it make a noticable difference?

i had 40/45 rear/front, it handles sooo much better, and looks good too, but if i was doing it again, i would have 40/50, cos the drop at the front is barely noticable

 

[Rich_65402]

cba take it that low

cba take it that low

you wouldnt notice it if it were any higher

and the drop i had made no difference to practicality, and i used my car in fields etc

whatever you like though!

HI, thanks everybody for posting so far, and the comments.

I did colour code the door handles and mirrors myself, I bought new handles and second-hand mirrors, and painted them off the car so that I could take my time and get the finish spot-on. The end result was worth it, I think they are comparable with a professional job.

I got the paint from a place in St.Helens over the internet - you send them your paint code and they make up an aerosol for about £10. I ordered two aerosols but only ended up using one!

Lowering the car did make a difference to the ride, it's harsher but I like it like that, my last car had full Konis all round and drove like a trolley jack, my Punto is still luxury in comparison! It does handle much better though, it feels sharper going into corners.

Like I say, I'd love to get it dropped right down, perhaps around 60-70mm, but I will shortly live 10 mins walk away from where I work - and in this day and age, if you can live with out running a car then you could save a lot of money! So I will be selling it

At least my girlfriend has a Seicento Sporting, I'll probably end up modifying that, I don't think she'll need much encouraging because she likes the things I've done to my Punto!
