is it possible2 fit lowering springs allround 2a s70 wif self leveling/load compensating rear suspension?
clive.

thought u were gonna piss on my bonfire!!! LOL

Lol, you can get rear shocks for £30 each

[clive d]

...and then ad the springs and fit?.......

[Justin]

Yup

[elliot]

thought u were gonna piss on my bonfire!!! LOL

lol,GSF sell rear dampers from bilstein very cheap,the ride will be better with the to

[clive d]

cheers mate!

[clive d]

wats the GSF qauility like mate?

i have'nt ever tried them to be honest,but i think they are made by bilstien!or sachs both of which are very good,sachs make the standard dampers.

I've got the SL's on SAM with lower spring + the rears have been cut too, as at the time didn't realise they were SL's

But as a result its locked the rear right up and makes for great handling, but to be honest I wouldn't recomend it as the stress on the rear components must be horrendous and as a result plan to change my set-up in the very near future

Wouldn't the steering and wheel geometries become misalligned if you change the ride height when upgrading suspension components?

No, but you can end up with more camber and thus require realignment depending on how low and how much you get. But as a rule no geometery should need be adjusted.
