Lowering and MOT

Post by **SteveP** » 21 Jun 2008 03:50 pm

Just wondered if a 360 on shorter springs and stock shocks would pass an MOT in the UK? Do the shorter springs sit properly in the cups or will they need some sort of fastening to the lower platform or something?

Can anyone who's lowered one confirm?

Cheers,
Steve

On mine, all i did is cut 4 small strips of flat steel bar about 20mm wide and 5mm thick drill an 8mm hole in one end of each strip and usesome M8 bolts to strap the springs down. The upper and lower cups already have holes drilled in them to accept bolts.

You can do it that way as i did to start with or you can just use hose clips to secure them in. Shortened shocks is the long term answer

Oh just to confirm, Adam.. did you mean you need to secure the spring to both the upper and lower platforms?
