Re: Will putting new lowering springs damage original shock absorbers in the long run i would say get some sportlines :) on my cup, slightly firmer ride , front dropped a tiny amount and the rear raised slightly - much better

try looseing it with a socket first when the car is on the ground (if the spring starts turning then leave it), also if you have access to a decent socket set, allen key sockets are much better than the hand held ones.

do you mean the exhaust is blowing? how did you manage to lose a bolt?

the size of the bolt i have used are M8 * 40mm IIRC

i have had my inlet off a handful of times and haven't changed it, from reading on here it isn't necessary

not sure on this, at least with scorpion you will get the brand name too ....is the ashley mega loud?!

i would like to know this too

nice!

i hate viewing a car when its not accurately described, it just wastes everyone's time, whilst the seller hopes on a wing and a prayer that the viewer will be smitten and buy. threads like this are a good idea :)

are you sure they didn't give you extra for top ups and its sitting in the boot? check the level ASAP!

that roof dent looks quite nasty, how did that happen?

yep they are both the same

yeah, they are decent springs, if you want a bigger drop go apex but the ride will suffer

nice :)

did you jack it on the rear beam i take it? i got the axle stands on the bit where the beam joins the car - this supported the car securely and allowed enough flex in the rear beam for the springs to be pulled out

Yep i second Kam Racing !

was the pipe smashing into the rear beam?

is there not a half decent powerflow outlet near you that you could take it to?

are the discs old and well used? i would get them replaced asap as you cant be getting the best brake efficiency with them like that! What condition are the pads in?

i wondered this as camskill were out of stock of the 195/45/16 variant when i check a couple of days ago

get a picture up then we can see what is happening :)

if your struggling try something better than WD40 like plusgas or super slacks - brilliant stuff

i wouldnt say so, for speed and quick turnaround (do you have 14 working days to have your retest? ) i would walk into a local motor factors place and get the springs, they will sort you out get you through the MOT Also if your exhaust is stainless it shouldnt have holes in it (it could have...

yeah i protect mine , doesnt cost much extra and is good piece of mind

oh god, you are going to give the hardcore detailers a breakdown with that comment :)

that's not the case with mine (and the general consensus on here) i found them a "slightly" firmer ride over a standard cup, very slight drop , but they also raise the rear a tiny bit which evens out the stance of the car (based on original cup suspension) = decent brand and good price from kam...

ktec do a recessed version of their stealth, they start at £299 iirc, have a look on their website. you get cliosport discount too :)

do you not fancy having a go yourself? will save a bit too

thanks mick

i wouldn't say you would have noticeable gains other than noise, my miltek on the 172 isn't much louder than standard, can't comment on the 182 version though
