45mm lowering

Post by CTJcaddy »

How’s the handling improvement on the 45mm lowering currently doing a build for about 270-290bhp caddy, want to improve handling but also need abit of height as I do mountain biking and will be going to downhill events so need it at a decent height for fields I know I can’t have it all :D

Do you have a Whiteline rear ARB? That made the biggest difference to the handling of my van.

My maxi is lowered 40mm with a whiteline arb. Handles very well even on 16" alloy and I can make it in and out of mountain bike car parks and fields with only the occasional scrape. Usually its the splitter or side bars that catch. If you've got a swb you should be fine
