Lower dynamic model

Hi is it ok to lower my dynamic model by fitting 30mm shorter springs ? Will this effect anything ?

RE: Lower dynamic model

Good question.... My H&R Springs are arriving tomorrow.
You'll probably want to re-align the wheels after

could affect any off roading with less clearance, also in snow conditions.http://babyrr.com/forum/images/smilies-set/icon_sad.gif

Probably dropping it 30mm puts ground clearance still higher than most cars, so...
Mine will never go off road.

RE: Lower dynamic model

In Canada and USA do Dynamics also get the Magnaride suspension struts as standard because lowering the suspension could have side effects for the Dynamic mode setting in the Terrain Response settings.
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Yeah, they do...
I haven't heard of any detrimental effects.

So I have springs in and something is seriously messed up in the back of the car!
Alignment checked out, everything is right... The steering is sharp and responsive... But the back end will hang out and pitch sideways when turning at highway speeds. Very un-nerving!
My mechanic is at a loss...
