venom suspension

[lowpo]

Hi has anybody got venom motorsports own suspension, i have just fitted a 70 mm lowering kit with springs and dampers to my gt, the front looks well sweet but the problem is the back. i think it is about 15mm higher than the front, which looks a bit funny. Just wondering what you think i shud do. I was thinking about cutting a coil out.

hahaha same trouble as me! I got a gmax set and the back is about 20mm higher!

I was going to cut half a coil out and see the difference.... watch this space!

The back up is apparently the 'Euro look' if you fancy leaving it. Otherwise its just there to make sure you can carry rear passengers (who does that on a regular basis?)

ive got Gmax srings & shocks on my GT, i wood say the back is slightly higher but not by much. MAbey ma subs weight it down a bit but still 15mm seems a bit much!!!!

@ david burton - how much is it lowered already & wot size wheels?

I wnt mine 2 b lower, gotta get smaller profile tyres 1st tho.

[polopowah]

-Ben-

[david burton]

about 50 - 60mm and 15 inchers with 45 profile.....

I have Venom Edition shocks, but they were out of stock of 70mm springs so I got Spax -60mm springs instead (would've got the 80mm springs but they were out of stock too..), and yes, the rear of my GT sits noticeably higher than the front.. Getting quite used to it now.

Yeh cheers then looks like i got a good job on the weekend cutting the coils down, wish me luck.

Yeh, this is right...when you order a kit now you usually get 2 different sizes of springs, usually 40's at rear and much lower at front..say 70mm!
So's you can carry stuff without rubbing.
I'd heard from Venom that their own stuff was re-badged G-max, and in turn these used to be Jamex who no longer exist!....Venom's own stuff is made in the same G-max factory so technically they're the same!
Whether or not the valves/dampers inside are different???
I've got 40mm allround G-max on my 16v golf, and find they grip like stink thru the corners!

a car dropped too much at the back can get a little uncomfortable if you're a rear seat passenger when going to the pub
well, if its a fiesta anyway

no worse than riding a hardtail bike tho!

i am running venturie springs and g-max shockers both 40 mm drop and 15 inch oz 5 spokes mine looks level

[hardhitter]

I'm wanting mine lower at the front. It's in order to help traction and reduce lifting up at the front. Also I think it looks better with a slight nose down appearance...

Don't know if this will be of any help, when I had new springs put into mine was was also front heavy, guess this was because of the the weight of the engine. New springs need to be bedded in and this usually involves weight put onto the back as someone mentioned previously, get some mates in the back and give them a lift somewhere far...or like me get some heavy rocks and shove them in the boot, after a while the rear should look pretty much the same as the front...
