General Uno Lowered Springs

[chrisunoman]

Ive got my uno lowered 35mm on apex springs

The amount its lowered the back is fine, but the front looks a bit higher.

Does anyone know if there is anything i can do or buy to alter this, like different top mounts or something???

gotta love the uno's

I got the springs from Motor World

They were 69.99

Unos are the daddy!

This is common due to different producers of the coil springs. Some are harder, thicker, more coil "rounds" etc. Mine is lowered 40 mm by Inter Alloy and it looks a bit higher at the front than at the rear. I don't mind though. So the solution for you is either to sod it, or buy one pair of 40 mm lowering springs.

Just found out why my Uno is slightly higher at the front.

Well my Unos a 45, and i bought a kit that fitted 'Uno inc Turbo'.

Problem is, there were two sets of springs available, one for the 45 and one for the Turbo. They gave me the Turbo ones instead, which ive found out to be 10mm longer at the front than the 45 ones! Doh!

Larger engine = heavier engine = bigger springs.

Theres only a 20kg difference in the load over the front axle so i didnt think there would be a big difference in the height of the springs.
But i was wrong! oops!

I want to go lower now...
Does anyone know of any good kits for an uno 45, thatd lower it by bout 60mm?
And what bout coilovers? Any other (cheaper!) kits than the AVO kit?
Any help would be appreciated......
