Lowering your 360 modena

I've done it . 360 has coilovers so it's easy to lower

 

Mine was already lowered when i bought it 10 yeara ago and the ride is great. Ahould realistically be the same as the travel of the suspension and shock etc is not compromised by geometry changes.

What are you talking about? The geometry definitely changes as you lower the car and the suspension has less travel before it hits the stops too.

BUT, if you lower it reasonably there isn't a problem. Drop it 12mm or so from stock and you are in a good spot. When you do it you need a full 4 wheel alignment as well. At least you do if you want to maintain a similar setup to stock.

 

I lowered mine to CS height and I don't feel any noticeable difference

 

The ride and handling should be fine. It won't make it handle like a CS. The Ti springs are lighter, reducing unsprung weight, and they are stiffer. As I noted, you will need an alignment when you lower (even to CS ride height).

 

Here's a video of my lowered 360. It's lower than CS specs.

There are certain part of the vid that is focused on the wheel and fender. Hope this helps in giving you an idea in the looks department.

My 360 looks way different now compared to how it looks when this video was shot but still the same stance / lowered ride height).

For some who don't like Club / Dance music, time to mute your speakers.

 

Hehe! I actually like it so no sweat. Go for it. Then get an alignment. You can always throw the switch out of sport to soften the dampers. I do it around the city. I have the perch wrenches and just rolled the fenders for my wider wheels and tires - still 18s. It's not slammed or CS height, but the front passenger lip snagged 5 times this past year. Now it's rolled at the apexex flush with the weather strip at about a 45' angle. I think it was lowered when I got it or has some spring sag. Drives fine still. Let me know if you want to buy or rent the fender roller.

 

Lowering the car 20mm wo t change the geometry so much that it will steer off the road. I am nowhere near the bump stops and everyone that has ever lowered a car gets a wheel alignment mandatory. The only differencr i have noticed in driving differences is mine turns in quickly without any push. If i can get it to push i am past the limit of front end grip.

No, part of the procedure is too heat the paint with a gun and go sloooooow. Mine worked great. even after 5 snags the paint was still strong. only wear came from 2x4 rolling back the snags every time. No more. Urethane wheel on tool is very nice. CS wheels might not need it. Are they 8 or 8.5 inches wide? My OZS are 8.5 with 11mm spacer. obviously more flush,when straight. If your wheels appear tucked a bit still then you probably have room. Check at full lock left and right. And Lean on the fender to compress the damper.

I bought mine lowered. To me it drives just fine. Sport mode makes it quite a bit stiffer tho.

 

My lower spring bushing is worn and folded over the upper spring nut. Helluva time trying to get it to budge. Always something.

 

I have done mine ...no diff to the ride

I have lowered my car to CS ride height by adjusting the stock coilovers.

You need a 100mm and 80mm wrenches to do it. Oil and clean threads really well before opening the nuts. You might need to strain the springs a little to make the job easier. I used 9mm wide zip ties. 4 pcs around the spring will hold it.

Love the new look with less room between the tire and the wheel arches. I run 20mm spacers in the rear also. No problems. 19" Scud wheels.
