Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (in the works)

after 4 attemps i was happy to get the thing on in the end lol! now i know threw trial and error! ill be writing up a guide it will be going lower tonight :approve:

 

[tommy g]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (in the works)

finally all done! i love how the front is but i still want the rear to go lower. ive still got the rear adjusters on so im going to remove them and hopefully lose 5-7mm. sooooo heres the pics....

davis88 and josh that helped me...

i think it looks alot better on the coilies, all i need to do is remove the adjusters and it will still better on the rear.

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (in the works)

Waheyyy! That looks epic mate! V-Maxx Coilies FTW! . But seriously, I like that a lot. Let us know how taking out the rear adjusters goes, I'm thinking of doing the same with mine cause it isn't quite low enough for my liking either.

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (in the works)

bif im going to get some when i buy the 172 front end! im hunting down a bumper and wings atm! as soon as i find it ill get some 30mm spacers up front and space the rears to suit!

s23 cheers for the comment dude, yer as soon as i take out the adjusters ill post before and after pics on level ground to see if it makes much of a difference!

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (in the works)

how do you go about gettin the rear camber?

 

[Mickb]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (in the works)

get 4 m10 washers put 1 on each bottom hub bolt


result in subtle camber if you use to the you get big camber, but wheels will need spaced, how my porkers are done 8js on rear and its close to the shock


looks good tho

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (in the works)

camber, spacers and some tyre stretch and it will look sweet, the rear looks to be missing something though?

 

[tommy g]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (in the works)

its the rear bumper i think. im looking for a 172 phase 2 atm but if i get on im going to smooth the plastic trim line like samoose has
