Dangerous
OK I may keep on about lowering with good and bad points. My car at 100
mph feels odd, and then last night I was doing about 110 and I hit a long
bump, like going over a hump back bridge, the steering went light and I
thought this is curtains. Have you ever seen a F1 car with sparks underneath
because it is so low, then the bump comes and because it is already touching the ground the nose comes up and it flips over, that's how I felt.
Can somebody assure me with a lowering module the ride is better and
it doesn't scrape the ground driving over 60mph.
I have tried raising it but the ride feels the same.

Mine has Renntech lowering module on it. With both lights off on the switch it is pretty low but all the way to 140 MPH (fastest I have had it) feels well planted with great authority. Even at 100 on slightly bumpy road it still feels very secure and does not scrape. I am leaving it with one light on though as I feel this gives the tires better clearance and Seattle roads suck.

I imagine the car returns to normal height when it gets to 40, but that is not
my problem, it going fast when the links plus the car lowers it too much.
The module sound best, and less dangerous, all I need is somewhere to
buy and fit one, I think John H has one fitted but I can't find his post.
Is there anyone in the UK that fits the module, maybe I will e mail Renntech

Here is a link to the website http://prestigecarservice.co.uk/ ask for Olly or Jack. They are official Renntech suppliers.
