Looking to lower my teg...

[GreekWarrior]

so if I'm looking at suspension stuff, and it says dc2, that's for my teg right?

DC2 (VTiR) and DC4 (GSi) are basically the same except the engine and a few other extra correct?

yea GSi is basically a DC2
w/e a DC2 can install can also be installed to a DC4

o yea did u remove your mudflaps?
i was thinking of doin it but does water get collected in the rear bumper?

[GreekWarrior]

sweet


umm my car never had mudflaps lol

[GreekWarrior]

once more question lol

for you boys that have lowered your teg's, did you have to roll the guards?

[zropts]

lowered before on king superlows (3 inch drop) with 18x7.5 (offset +45) all round on dc2... scraped on front wheels on full lock only... if you lower under 3inches, it won't scrap with 17's on them i assume...

advise to use springs that drop only 1.5 inches and no more as your front tyres/wheels will be on angle and your inside tyre will be wasted... also you have to wear in your springs therefore it will drop lower than mentioned depending... lowering more than 1.5inches on 17's would mean to purchase a camber kit as well for front wheels... back wheels will sit straight....

[zropts]

also don't need to roll guards on 17's as long as you don't go more than 2 inches

i didn't have to roll the guards... youd have to full on dump it to make rolling the guards necessary

[GreekWarrior]

ah k, hmm

I suppose, I can pretty much fit my fist between the tyre and rear wheel arch atm so I think it'd be alright if I lowered it 1.5-2 lol

Har har lots of info on lowering - I want to UNlower (raise?) the suspension on my old DA3, its been lowered and it bottoms out too easily. It appears to have shorter (orange colour) springs on rear but looks like original shocks. I have a set of original rear springs, black/about which are about 120mm? longer - annoying to change cos I need spring compressors.
My Q is about front, does it just mean winding in torsion bar adjusting screws, if so how much? I've tried 3-4 full turns on each but it hasn't made a noticeable difference.
