Calling all Copenites Question! I know Copens are fairly low anyway but has anybody thought about lowering thier car. I ask this because if im to do a kit for it i need some feed back as to whether its worth doing. I know in a lot of areas there is now loads of speed bumps everywhere so can see it wouldn't be ideal if you were in one of these areas. Everybody that reads this please post a comment! Thanks Tim
Although it would be nice to lower it, it's not practical for me. I sometimes scrape the under braces on speed bumps at the normal height.
Same for me. Urban motoring brings little MLC's underside dangerously close to all those horrible speed bumps, some of which seem to have been installed by frustrated pyramid builders! So no thanks, not for me
forget speed humps - i have scraped on dipped drives/pavements and car parking ramps!! (okay only one in bath) but the drives thing is a ! I park on the flat surface where possible.
Same here I'm afraid:-(( I would love to lower my copen but drive over 15 speed bumps in a 9 mile journey to work. There are also already car parks that I can't use anymore as I scrape the bottom of my car trying to get out.
Hi Tim, all of the above also applies to me as well. But some do go for looks instead od practicality. Just as a reference, there is a company in Germany offering lowering springs (lowering about 2cm): http://mw-parts.de/shopsys/product_....html&XTCsid=6d91c381628aa86bb21ee877e7bf70af Andreas
Yes i thought it would be like this on this one. Will look into getting a batch of standard OE replacement springs made then at not so dealer prices, I know a good Uk company who can do this. Scooty that link to website, it looks like the site is still being developed as a lot of it is half done. Tim
Sorry new Copen driver resurrecting a really old thread - my driveway has a dip in it and I heard a scrape, the lowest part of the Copen appears to be the tow hook at the front. If I were to remove it, has anyone used a tow strap and if so how did you present it at the front of the car so it didn't break anything if you ever did have to be towed?
