The thing now drives like a kart by the way. With these light, narrow wheels and the lowering. It almost becomes tempting to have a bit more power ...  |
Wow I didn't look at your lowering that looks awesome. New firm springs should also help by making you able to keep more momentum in curves...
My Greenline already has a "sport" chassis option, which lowers the ride height by about 15mm. 140mm is a good compromise and I as live in the mountain I will not lower more.
The new wheel alignment should certainly also help a lot with reducing consumption. I am very curious to see your figures.
Did you think about making a coasting test to get updated SCd and Crr values? I would be happy to compute your values please tell me if you are interested.
