tuning suspension

Post by Billy_boy11 »

i am looking to lower my zetec but am in a pickle to either drop 35mm on my 17s or drop 50mm on my standard 16s but the pickle is that my car looks decent on the black 17s and the other is what other parts mods would i have to do i.e shocks and rear spacer to drop 35mm on my 17s.

Any advice would be a big help

Cheers

35mm will be fine, 50mm will be to much for standard shocks, you would need sports shocks.

You can drop on the 50mm springs with your 17s no problem, is a good stance.
