Ive always lowered mine 40mm on PI springs.

Just under the hundred for all 4 and takes me about 25 mins a corner now.

Hi Chad!!!!

Yeah,it is a tad low!!!!!!The PI springs sag with age like an old grannies,well,you know what I mean!!!

If you look on General Discussions and see the post Adam did for me called "Grooms Turbo".Mine is there and will show you how low.Some have gone for 60 and 80mm drops.

I like that!!!!!!!!1

heres mine lowered 40mm on 15" rims. that was just after i did it, it has settled a bit lower now, over time.

I thought that there's no point in starting new thread so I've got question about lowering. I'd like to change springs for shorter ones so do I have to change shock absorbers too? Or can they stay original?

They can stay original, but they will wear out quicker

Thought i'd post this for comparison.

Left is lowered supposedly 40mm on pi...its more than that now. Right is untouched.

Hope this helps
