Lowering

Has anyone lowered their paceman? I want to lower mine, but I don’t know if it will make it impractical or make the wheels rub.

We have lowered a few with both springs and coilovers. Have to say the best combo was the KW coilovers as the car still road good, but was lower.

The springs will work, but you do loose shock travel so they don't ride as well.

How far did you lower them? Was there any scraping with turning or going over bumps?

My son's JCW Paceman is lowered on NM springs. Was that way when we bought it so I don't know if the bump stops were trimmed. Handles well but the ride in the back is HARSH.
