might these be handy for said LCR drivers that are using lowering springs and spring do offer a limited drop.

"JOM lowering spring caps are designed to replace the metal spring locating cap on the front suspension strut (located between the top mount and the spring).

The caps are supplied in pairs for the front only. When fitted they will lower the car an extra 10-15mm. Ideal for people that want to lower the front of their car a little more without having to go to the expense of buying some more springs."

^ great thread for info and pics too.

"the spring physically sits higher in the mount than the stock one, in turn lowering the car."

 

[aaronipswich]

So would basically make it lower at the front
Are there any advantages to that like grip ect

 

[itfben]

Can put them in the back too apparently?

Suspenion lowers front more for the "nose down stance" but personally i think tge back shoukd get dropped more as that slways sits higher as standard n looks naff unless u drive round with a body in the boot

ive got them on mine

 

[aaronipswich]

Oldskool how do you rate them
Didn't they drop it much ?? As in could you notice any difference

 

[oldskool]

yeah it has a slightly nose down stance now. I reckon theyre good if you dont want to go too low

 

[itfben]

ordered some 45mm konis so should see 25mm drop on the lcr, these might be an alright addition, might do them later though.

 

[aaronipswich]

Awesome ben, I'll get mine fitted this week then if I need to go a fraction lower I'll order up a set of the cups

 

[scotty18]

do these actualy work on the rear, it says front only but someone said you can use the on the rear??

 

[gdjohny]

does anyone have a link to the lowering strut mounts? I have seen it somewhere on the forum but cant find it now

 

[itfben]

i bought some, never fitted them min the end chaps as it would give me too much nose down stance at the mo and its nice that im not really scraping out besides getting in and out of garages.
