Don't need coils to have custom springs...Tho i dread to think what 75mm custom springs would feel like!!

Looks good from what i can make out! Camera skills are pants tho.

Just a quick question for foxy (sorry if its going of the subject of this thread)

Im just about to order some FK high sport coilovers (54mm) 40-70mm
Will these defo fit my 16v 04 dymanique?

Also i have 17" alloys will i be able to lower my car at least 40mm without the tyres rubbing against the arches?

Thanks m8

 

[will.clio]

looks stunning! nice pics too

 

[ChrisPearson]

the 54mm are ones for renaultsport however i have 52mm hubs and fk silverline x in 58mm and they fit fine so i dont understand it.

They are virtual daylight xenon conversions... (yes.. without auto leveling.. or washer jets... face.. bothered... face... bothered...) i think they are 8000k if that means anything to you

ta

that's really nice. really like the wheels. get some skirts on there though

nah.. im not trying to make it into a replica.. and the skirts would prob crack over speed bumps

:O i love them wheels what are they?

They are Lenso - Mesh's.. but.. i brought the last 16" set available in the UK as lenso got fined for copying bbs style.. so was forced to stop producing them

there are still 17" ones kicking about tho.. the shop that i got mine from.. has a set on e-bay if anyones interested...

How custom is custom ???.....you have just cut your OEM springs, hav'nt you!!

nope.. i got a set of p.i. -60 ml drop springs... and took an angle grinder to them at the front...

and then got a 2 n 3/4 coilover spring... and cut it in half... and cable tied it into the spring platform at the back...

so... yea..... custom..

:O i love them wheels what are they?

Look a bit like Keskins, could be wrong.

and if i could choose again... i'd keep them.. they stand out so much... compared with others.. and cheap ebay kits from poland etc..

well worth the cash.. just be careful where you get them from.. as some people proper try and stripe you up for them...

local company who make parts for machines, inc springs, just did some one offs as a test to see if they would go on a car, they usually make springs ALOT bigger than these

ermmmm....... me and my friend... Mr. A. Grinder ... it cost.. all of nothing... except for a old coilover spring that we found... which was free anyways :approve:

 

[f0xy]

im hardcore :rasp:

no plates at all, lol.......

they were my original custom set, coilbound with 4 coils....110mm....now at a set with 2 an half coils and they are all good

 

[ClioMatt]

but if the coils are touching... they must ride like a bag of s**t...

or like my mates escort van that is sitting on the chassis rails!! ouch

but now your back to using adjusters....?

letting down the team

 

[ClioMatt]

p.s. do i spy a cable tie? :rasp:

 

[Spark]

so basically buying 60 mm springs a lop a spring off hahahah

 

[f0xy]

naaa, new springs are just like a lowering spring, just alot smaller and less coils....sit on the two original mounting nipple things.....

p.s. do i spy a cable tie? :rasp:

yeeep holding a rubber bush into the exhaust mount to keep the exhaust in place with no saggage

 

[Bloooor]

how did you explain them cut springs to your insurance matt? where they hard to insure

 

[Spark]

[f0xy]

no idea of the name, the place is next door to my dads factory....the guy who did them has retired now, but the other people might do them if they had any time free....dont know though
