[patty]

sorry to go off subject!!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

[patty]

[kiza1986]

ahhh thats mint....i was only thinking of like -40mm but if i go go to 85mm then thats what its going to be. Nice phrase fred lol.
Is it easy to fit coilys or is best to get someone to fit them?? Also whats the ebst coilovers to get for the ride comforbility?? (or however you spell it)

Thanks again

Kiza

 

[Fred@BTM]

FK's, they're fairly easy to fit, but you need to know how to set them up

i charge £50 for the pleasure BTW (for coilovers)
£40 for springs

 

[kiza1986]

thanks mate....ill get onto you as soon as i get them..

Thanks again for all your help

i'd definetely recommend him to do mine again. worth every penny

 

[kiza1986]

Yeah ive heard good things about fred on here and if im not satisfied with 85mm i might just ask him to get the angle grinder out lol

[Middo]

i went with the intention of having 60mm, but ended up with 85

LMFAO

remember the definition of Expert

X = an unknown quantity

spurt = a drip under pressure

 

[kpowell911]

the 19s dont require alot of arch work to go on apaprently, and thast with me been 60mm loweredto the ground (maybe 70 at the back cause of install) was suprised how big the arches are

 

[Fred@BTM]

what's the offset??? what's the width???

 

[patty]

19's = :S

 

[kiza1986]

You sure my cars going to go 85mm fred without any arch work 'cos ive been reading a few threads and people with offset et35 arent going to be able to go 85mm...just want to make sure before i buy the coilys

Freds good/cheap/quick.... and he'll work in the pouring rain whilst you stand around in his garage.
