Okay - need to clarify - I cant really go lower, which seems to be anything I could find in the thread search. As it is I have a pretty steep driveway and have had to grind an inch of concrete off the lip to get in!

What options have we got - are there any kits etc. that people have or know of?

...better ride, better handling?

what he said.

I thinking the same thing as I scrape alot as it is. Maybe stiffer springs and shocks up front, stiffer shocks in the rear and slight re setting of the leafs, just a thought don't know if it would work?

I'll 3rd that.....lol. The speed bumps @ the secure car park @ work are a real killer, even lowering 1/2 an inch would be asking for it.

I have a Herrod lowering Kit on my Tornado and I have yet to scrape on anything.

It's definitely not dumped to the guts, but it has a nice ride-height that handles great.

I would like to go lower as I think the front could still go another 20mm down but I hate scraping so tending to keep it as it is.

I have super lows, its about as low as you can go, and I don't touch on anything, the lowest part of the car sits about 130mm above the ground (spring hangers) and most BIG speed bumps are less than 100mm high.

Its more the loooong wheelsbase that is the problem on rollover on ramps etc.
