Coilovers fitted...

[Philip.]

Rokkor pikey specials, cheap and cheerful. Got spacers on the way so I can use my camber bolts, they should be here in the next few days.

Happy with the height, tried it lower, but it wasn't happening in everyday life driving.
It feels like a b**ch to drive with the amount of positive camber at the moment, need the wheels re-aligned too. Hardly driving it at the moment anyway, so it's no biggie!

Sorry about the shat phone picture, more to follow next week with the spacers and camber

Cheers.

Great pics.

 

[Will.]

Any side on pics? Of the wheels and arch gap?

 

[JonniP]

at least you got the lows before you put silly wheels on it

 

[Philip.]

I will get more, I just had to rush taking a few as I was late for work, I can post a few more in a bit when i'm home.

 

[Philip.]

More photos as promised, not great but meh.

Front arch gap

The coilies have loads left to go lower aswell tbh, tried it and couldnt get off my drive, great success!

 

[adam172]

[theduck]

good ride height, nasty tires.

 

[roberto.]

i like that height and size of wheel combo actually

 

[Philip.]

Cheers guys.

I know my tires are mega crap, but i'm planning on new wheels soon, so they'll do I suppose for now!

Gay looking, for a gay looking guy!!

Looks good mate, decent set of rims and some subtle stickers should treat it well. And some color coding...

 

[Beef-Mc]

How does the ride compare to standard?

 

[Jordi17]

Cheers you mong!

Beef: Its hard to tell with dodgy camber and tracking etc at the moment, but it seems good!
Feels a lot stiffer than the springs I had on.

 

[JoeyD]

That's a good height for having 15's on. Get that camber sorted, Quick!

What wheels are you going for??

 

[Philip.]

Joey, the camber will be sorted the day the spacers come
Not sure on wheels, was going to go for turbines but I dunno, want something a bit special I guess.

 

[andycorsasport]

Get some of those on!! Dont care if they dont fit, MAKE THEM!!! Lol.

 

[Philip.]

How the hell am I meant to make them fit!?!
I'd have no chance, as much as I would like something like them.

[Jimbo-Clio]

Looks nice mate good work

 

[andycorsasport]

Exactly!! Adaptors. Stop whineing and get it done!

 

[NickMelson]

How dose it handle, thinking about getting some myself.
Car looks really good just need to get the spacers on

 

[Munson]

Could have just taken the springs out for that look.

They're pretty good, and thats with dodgy alignment etc like stated earlier.

Great constructive criticism Roy Munson.

 

[theduck]

Adaptors would make them fit AND give you spacing, winwin

 

[jackfm]

Ahhh reminds me of my non-sport! loved it. looks about the same height toooooo

 

[Danith]

[Philip.]

Naahh they only do Non-RS at the moment.

[leeds2592]
