I wouldn't really suggest "modifying by another coil off" as its illegal and dangerous. Talk to your local suspension shop about compressing or resetting your springs to get them lower.

it depends on the roads you frequently travel. i find that at standard hieght, my TS50 front bar scrapes at a few different places, so i wont be lowering the front, the rear will drop about an inch and a half though to level the wagon up a bit

yes it is illegal and thats why i dint recommend it. I said i didnt think it would scrape. You should be able to get the springs reset for around 60 bucks. But if you want to go lower i would go a stiffer shockie to make sure it dosnt scrape.

I have the TS50 Front & rear bars & have tickford suspension, it would look better if it was slightly lower, but for a practability purpose, my front bar will scrape on a normal gutter or in carparks on the wheel stops (the higher set ones). Over a rolled gutter will scrape if you go straight on of course, but fine at angles. The rear bar on mine has many scrapes underneath it already because of how low it sits. have to be real careful entering and exiting driveways with a slight slope as it will scrape. Sit a couple of people in the back and it will scrape over a speedbump. Also some of the bigger speed bumps my front and rear will scrape going on and off them, and as said its on standard tickford suspension.

Yep thats about it with the above post.
My TS is stock height and I'd love to lower her a fraction more but to be any more careful than I am now would be ridiculous.....

Yeah i thought they would be a little bigger just wasn't sure how much. If you put a good stiff set of shocks in you might loose a little ride comfort but its all a trade off. Do you want to look really low and have a bumpy ride ( like mine) haha or do you want normal hieght and a nice soft ride.
