mines on a 40mm drop and with 15" wheels looks the dogs Matt so that's my reccomend. Currently i'm on the 14" cookies and although good for originality sake I can't help but miss that extra inch on the rim

ask any woman a inch makes all the differance

What do you fiends think?

Looks fine to me, however i dont think its a good idea to have folks sitting on the bonnet to save on lowering springs... plays havoc with yer forward vision.

Tis right IMHO...

If you can get the old girl down 25/40mm she'd set those off beautifully...

I might have to go all out with coil overs. Big $. If I had to guess.

Have a quick PM into Jay (Puglife), he's going Coilovers with a CQ at the moment...

Aternatively Spax do a 35mm drop kit for CQ's, so it's possible they still do the Type 81 kit too...

My type 81 Sport has Eibach ( no longer made.... ) and they were 40 mms.Picture in my gallery

Chris, looks like a nice ride height. Looking into options now. Any idea how long yours have been out of production?

ChrisG · 08-03-09, 05:15 PM

Two or three years I was told.
Koni used to do very similar but again no longer
I was offered by the UK importers the possibility of a new set by the UK importers ( mine are rusty) at £240 per spring !!
However I'm going back to them to check, in case it was £240 a set ( perhaps something losy in the trenslation from German to English) as I have found a place in th e UK that will do a set for £175 + tax.... but they need an original front & rear spring to copy.
