I will test the effect of lowering to fuel consumtion with spring clamps designed for the job. So I will clamp the springs lower heigth and test their effect on fuel consumtion. With clamps I do not mean clamps you use to compress the whole spring, but smaller similar system however.

Test will be done on smooth tarmac so suspension arent so heavily stressed in this test. I will try to get the ground clearance to 80mm which is mimimun in europe. If I can see a difference I migh buy new adjustable coilover suspension for my Lupo.
