Lowered Paceman
 
So anyone have any information on lowering the paceman? Do I just need springs, or di I need a complete new coilover set up? How low will it get lowered? What wheel and tire size will I need? Any other changes needed or suggested?

I just had a local shop lower my Paceman on a set of Megan Racing coilovers this afternoon, and it looks great now. With lowering springs, you are limited to less than 2" drop, but if you want to go lower than that, you might want to go with a set of coilover. My Paceman has 19x8 wheels.

The Countryman is very similar to the PM and springs only lower 1". Do coilovers and it will dramatically change the look and handling.

MarioKart, have you ever experienced any noises from your coilover? I just installed mine and when I'm driving at low speeds and turn the steering wheel, there are noises like friction between 2 balloons...

Can you recommend which coilover I should use? When I reach out to certain retailers, when I tell them I have a Paceman, they just say no, don't have it. So I'll need a model or part number to by-pass the stiff arm.

What's your tire size on that?

I run Megan Coilovers and they are girlfriend and mother approved for comfort. The CM Coilovers work on the Paceman. My tires are 245-35-19 Hankook V12's mQubed Motorsport, Manic Tuning Dealer

I did and it was the end links weren't adjusted correctly. mQubed Motorsport, Manic Tuning Dealer
