Update on the monaco

Car  172 & RSi
Small update really, as I had the day off today, I decided to drop the rear end a little bit more, its now as low as it can go on these springs...

I had 5 minutes spare aswell so grabbed a couple of pics

All thats left to do before FCS is fit the splitter I've got sat in the garage and let Jamie work his magic with a PC :)

Cheers
 
Splitter is sat in the garage, need to get round to fitting it lol.

Never saw that thread JME, I thought I never got spotted.
 
Looking good as ever matey.

Really wanna remove my rear platforms but just haven't got the skills.
 
dunno why but i think cars that low look gash imo, theres low, then theres to low, looks silly imo

rest looks good though
 
That's lowww on the back.

Great Monaco dude! I need to find me a cup spoiler, perfect addition to the rear end.
 
Cheers for the comments lads :)

And for the people who think its too low... i suppose i better go n order some sportlines then yeah?
 
FK coilies mate and its max at the back probably about 80mm, and the front is just lowered so that I can drive it with no rubbing whatsoever, probs about 70mm.
 
love it. so is it just coilovers on the back not custom springs?

Car looks good mate, but like some people have said, too low. I dont know why but as soon as the wheel is in the arch, it looks silly to me. There should be a small gap ebtween the tyre and the arch. Just my opinion.

You're all welcome to your opinion. All I'll say is that I think cars with stripes down them look silly, I think cars on standard suspension with black aftermarket wheels on look silly and I think an otherwise standard car, with white wheels slapped on looks silly but then I'd keep it to myself rather than making negative comments. I believe its called tact.

Ouch. More discomfort than bending over in the prison shower.

Again I echo the above and theres really no discomfort here but whatever floats your boat, your hardly in a position to comment on the ride when you've never been in it and your car is on standard suspension.

I don't mean to rant but this site p*sses me off in that sense, one person says something negative and everyone jumps on the bandwagon.

I appreciate I have put photos up on a public forum, and people are welcome to comment, I just think that if you don't have anything constructive to say, then imo you really shouldn't bother. As I said before its just about having a bit of tact, its no wonder this site has a bad reputation.

Anyway, I'll post again when I've fitted my eibachs :D haha.
 
^^^ my fiancée is, I'm in Blackburn but come over a fair bit to see her - Think we'll end up buying a house later this year somewhere inbetween!

Noticed the morrisons car park in some of your pics - me and the Williams had a photoshoot there too a few years ago lol

"When" the V Maxx's get here I want to slam that Monaco ***** down to the ground :evil: Unfortunately my Yozza system hangs down too low so wont be able to go too far :(
 
Looks great mate and really glad to see you kept the standard bullets on the car.
 
I think your actual car looks gorgeous but for me I would choose function over form for the suspension and have it higher. But if you like the ride height fair play.

No problem. Didn't mean to slap your bell.

If it's just the same as standard suspension comfort wise then congrats.
