  • Here starts my Lowlife.

    A well spent Sunday, with a few issues (like pulling the drive shaft out and having to replace the Transmission oil!) and my new Spax coilovers are fitted!

    Probably the most satisfying mod on my DS3 (and all my cars). I think it improves the cars looks dramatically. Handles like a dream, i think i have set the dampening a little too stiff, and may soften.

    Out of the 10 hours spent, i reckon we did it in 6 hours of actual labour time. Quite difficult, but very rewarding.





    Could go another 20mm at the front, but i don't think the front wheels wouldn't actually move aha! Im rubbing a little now, and speed bumps are interesting.

    I would defiantly recommend doing it, once you figure out how to do the first one, the next 3 are easy!

    Might need to make myself a build thread.....

                I think Zack has been lowering his car for so long he can't see the difference.

                How much lower is it Connor?

                  Not going to lie I'm a little confused ahahah!

                  Zack what exactly do you mean?

                  Its probably around 40mm at the moment, i still have 20mm play in the springs. Probably 10mm at the back.

                            Wow that's low. I would to the same if there was no winter and no potholes in the road here in Finland. I also like the painted side skirts.

                              So after 3 days of driving, i am hearing a almost "knocking" sound on the front left arch. This happens every time i go over a small hump or hole.

                              Does anyone have experience of lowering the DS3 this low? Did you experience the same problems, im not sure if im going to have to put spacers on to give more room on the inside of the arches.
