Default Lowering Sport.

Hi guys, a few months ago i spoke to demon tweeks about the lowering of my sport, they said on spring i could lower up to around 40mm (depending on springs) but said as iv got stock sports suspension i could expect it to be dropped more due to the springs being designed for the bigger turbo models due to them already being lower than the sport as standard.

Is this the case or am i totally misunderstanding what they said? Looking at how my sport sits now, a 40mm drop would still look like its a 4x4 lol

Yep that sounds about right. Turbo suspension is about an inch lower (25.4mm). If you then got turbo lowering springs it would be lower again probably around the 40mm mark as they said. I wouldn't advise getting those springs on the standard dampers, get a cheap set of second hand turbo dampers then get the lowering springs.

No problem, there are always loads of old struts on ebay because people keep upgrading their suspension.

I bought mine off a mate for under £100.
