how low can i go without getting coilovers????? im kinda on a tight budget but want the vivaa lower but still street legal s 10cm of the ground

been lookin at some apex springs but with that its only a 1.6inch drop! do any other car model lowering springs fit our cars??

im look for about 2-2.5inch drop (10cm of the ground) so can any one shed me some light on my idea

The only way you're going to get that much of a drop safely is to get the KW coilovers from kinky... Either the Variant1 or variant3 will do the trick, just depends on whether or not you want to adjust damper and spring rate as well as ride Height... Or if you plan on racing it at all...

nah its not for racing or anything.....only looks so im really just looking for the drop and there are no springs that can help me out??

i think Intrax springs for these cars give a 2 inch drop but don't qoute me, it's been a long long time since i've looked.

iv just measured up my car and a 60mm drop wouldent b too bad with the apex springs.....at least it is going to cover up that massive gap between the wheel and body where i can fit my heap threw haha

do u guys rekin 17's lowered will look better then 18's lowered

im kinda a big wheel man but if 17's fill the guards im cool witht them

just finding it hard to find some pics of cars with 17's lowered and 18's lowerd on a RENO!!! iv found heaps on forenza haha so looking for reno ppl can anyone give us a hand

The apex springs are your best bet other than the KWs ($1400 for V1s). You could cut some of the apex spring if you really wanted. Most people say it's dangerous but I don't agree as long as you do it right.

17s or 18s will fill up the fender gap just the same because with the correct tires you aren't changing the overall diameter. You could go with a taller tire which will fill up the gap but raise the car.

Intrax springs are fine and they only give you a 1.5" all around drop. I've had them for 3 years with no problems whatsoever, they settled down nicely. I use to have 17's on my car and it had a 2 finger gap from tire to fender. 205/40/17 was my tire size if you are wondering. And here is a picture.

Your car would sit higher....alot higher then before. Like monster truck high. Unless I miss understood you and you actually meant with lowering springs, then you would probably have a finger gap or less.

yer im gonna lower it with 17's or 18's or but if i have a one finger gap between my wheel and the guard is it still gonna look high of the ground because its rollin on 18's

CAN SOME ONE PLZ POST A PIC OF 18'S LOWERED ON A RENO!!!!!!!!! EVEN IF ITS NOT UR CAR JUST SO O CAN GET AN IDEA..........

thankyouuuuuuuuuuuuu
