Check out Venom:

What's your price range?

[Torq-Al]

^^^^^^ As Tim's put, look on Venom. Loads of choice there. If you go over 30-40mm on springs alone, your shocks won't last very long. Go for a spring/shock package, or even a set of coilovers.

I wanna lower mine 40mm, can I do that with just the springs or will it break my dampers?

[Tim_GTi]

40mm should be fine. Depends on the condition of your current setup of course. General rule of thumb though being don't go more than 40mm on standard shocks.

[braindeadhmster]

Thanks Tim, How far will 40mm be, will it make a visual difference. For the price will it be worth it.

[Tim_GTi]

In my oppinion no, it wouldn't be worth it. I'd go down at least 60mm (for me much more). The 6N2 is a skyscraper, and really needs some lowerige to get it looking good.

[braindeadhmster]

If i lower it 60mm i`ll need lowering shocks to match, wont i? Any one got a pix of it lowered 40mm and 60mm.

this is mine lowered on 40mm springs with standard wheels

[braindeadhmster]

Thanks alot mate. It isn`t that high. If i put 15" alloys on it`ll look good. Cant go too low my area has more speed bump than people.

[stuart1903]

mine's now on 17s


Not much lower than standard now, but i already had the wheels from my brother. Thinking of going 16s or 15s at some point.

[Tim_GTi]

15s won't make much of a difference to the arch gap in that picture, as the rolling radius will be the same (near enough). As the wheel gets bigger, the tyre will get smaller, therefore evening out. So that picture is a good reflection of the arch gap you'll be left with.

[braindeadhmster]

I was told anything bigger than 16" with very low profiles wouldn`t fit.

[Tim_GTi]

I was told anything bigger than 16" with very low profiles wouldn`t fit.

Realistically yeh. 17"s do fit but just don't look right at all. They're way too big for the shape of the 6N2.
