General Pics of Lowered Puntos

[Captain Mike]

was thinking maybe start a thread of puntos and how much they are lowered so people can get an idea for how low they want to go.

so:

post a pic
with the drop size (mm)
and the size of your wheels

 

[RazmaGT]

60mm drop - 17" rims

not a punto

I know lol - it's fiats attempt at a 4x4...was only joking!

I'm actually quite interested in this thread really - lowering makes a massive difference to these cars!

60mm drop - 17" rims

normally i'd say that 60mm is too much but that looks awesome!

 

[Sportingmk2]

-50mm
17"

 

[Rockbottom]

17" Wheels
Lowered on FK Coilovers (at a guess, -50mm)

 

[Munkul]

both pics are of the car sitting at -65mm front -35mm rear on 15" alloys, FK coilies. The top pic doesnt really show off the drop properly though.

Car looks stunning in the top pic Matt... but does it need dropping another 5mm or so at the back? or do you use your boot and back seats?

cheers.
others would probably say it needs more at the back, but on a level suface the arch gap is the same back and front. add to that the fact that yes - i need both seats and boot sometimes, and you can see why no lower

sorry for going off topic

yeah IMO its way better than the corsas and peugeots that ALWAYS have a lower back than front, it looks stupid.

the mk2 suits the sloping stance towards the front i think

 

[Mikey-D]

35mm front, 30mm back apparently. I think its lower than that though.

i think its way lower than that as well. it looks like a 50mm drop to me, although the rear sits about the same as a 30mm kit.

nice

Spax Springs -40mm front -30/35mm on the back on KYB Excel-G Shocks

17's and custom coilovers (lowered 110mm front & 105mm rear)

105mm at the rear? do you still have any travel? i have found that at 50mm if i hit a medium bump it bottoms out

 

[manthatkidisscrewed]

i'd be guessing it's wound down for a show? surely it can't move like that!!

awesome lookin cars btw guys

It stays like that all the time mate. I do drive it very nicely though,

The ride is hard and there is very little movement but it doesn't bottom out. With the coilovers being custom made is designed to run with a big drop. People can sometimes bottom out on 50mm springs over rough ground or while carrying passengers because the dampers are standard and not designed for the drop.

 

[Munkul]

no, Dan is super-hardcore, he actually drives the car like that he has the luxury of not needing it for anything other than shows though, and apparently speed-bumps and pot-holes just dont happen - takes him 3 times longer to get anywhere compared to normal cars

no you cannot get coilovers that go that low as standard. You need to take the springs to a place that will re-wind them, which is what dan did.

IIRC the FK coilovers go down to 90-odd mm front 50-odd mm rear, as standard.

EDIT: he got there before me :bang:

 

[puntoboi07]

how far could i have my mk1 punto lowered if i got 15's? was hoping to have between 40-50mm drop on the front and a little less on the back..any ideas? thankssssssssssssssss

 

[manthatkidisscrewed]

woah, well that's very impressive then!! nice one!
