H&R Spacers/H&R Springs Fitted. (New pictures added)

[Y7 ADW]

That looks ridiculously good Chris!

 

[Revels]

Should have taken one from dead square on at the front though.

:approve:

 

[Sir_Dave]

I so want to drive this car down a muddy lane

 

[Christopher]

You'd be impressed my bearded friend. You should see it now!

I'm actually quite looking forward to winter now. I think it'll look awesome covered in grime with that stance.

 

[Christopher]

That looks ridiculously good Chris!

Haha! Cheers dude.

 

[Rob]

I await the 27 teaser pictures of blobs of mud before we see the actual car with dirt on it.

<3

Those new pictures look mint though, the stance has totally changed it for me.

 

[Elfy]

Very nice indeed, as said they should leave the factory like that!

PMSL. Wuvwoo.

Yeah, it looks quite different now! I've not been at a petrol station yet (three times) without someone asking about it. I didn't get that before.

 

[philmots]

I like everything but the spacers... Reminds me of one them old knackard Corsas on TSW Venoms!

I'd also be bothered about upsetting the properly sorted chassis making such a huge difference to width. IMO of course.

I'm looking at 200's FML.

 

[jesus]

Love that pic of it on the rollers!

Lol. Slippery slope.

Chris, you can download those pics of mine straight off the Flickr set http://www.flickr.com/photos/james350d/sets/72157631830674460/

If you right click on the pic, choose Original, it brings up the large pic with a 'Download the Original size of this photo' link.

I do have the very high res ones still though if needed.

You'll be safe until it's back on then.

Awesome mate, cheers.

 

[Silent_Scone]

mucho improvement!

 

[Laura]

im going to draw smiley faces in the dirt, although everyone knows it will never get properly dirty, I saw the looks of actual pain on your face when you saw my car dirty

 

[Y7 ADW]

I'm looking at 200's FML.

Same. Found a lovely AG one - I need a new job lol

 

[Sir_Dave]

You'll be safe until it's back on then.

Pretty much, & by next year they'll be done to £6k as well, so i might be more tempted lol.

 

[Christopher]

I might not wash it now until March, just to prove you all wrong.

 

[gez 172]

Considering full spec 197 on 07-08 plates are still 8K, I doubt a 200 is going to be so cheap so quickly.

It would have to be a crap spec/dog, like the 197's going for 4K atm

 

[tomp2000]

as said already, one of the best looking 200's I've seen but I think the spacers are slightly OTT. Maybe 15/20mm would suit it better

 

[Christopher]

Even 20's aren't enough on the back, Tom. They'd still be lost.

I think the back has settled a little more in the last week or so too.

 

[danzel]

Car looks great mate. I have H&R springs on mine too, such an improvement IMO

 

[gez 172]

Is it an improvement in handling with the H&R's over the cup pack? Or is it just looks?

 

[Christopher]

Zero difference mate. That's a good thing.

The H&R's are a tiny bit stiffer around town but not really noticeable.

 

[Knuckles]

How have the spacers affected it? (If at all)

 

[Christopher]

It's slightly less adjustable on the throttle and moves about less easily.

That's down to the wider track, probably. It also tramlines a tiny bit more under REALLY heavy braking.

Other than that, nothing. I can live with that, considering how I use the car.

 

[withoutabix]

Got some pics of your fatty dude

 

[gez 172]

That boot spoiler Is perfect

 

[cliosport197iow]

This might be a stupid question and i might get the p**s taken out of me but do the spacers go behind the disc or on the front of them? so is it a case of taking wheels off then puting spacers on? or does all the brakes have to come off? some pics would be great thanks

Bolt onto the disc mate.. Then the wheels bolt to the spacer

ok thankyou was debating getting 20mm for my 197 or should i get 25mm??? whats everyones thoughts?

 

[alex_hazard]

Do they tyres ever rub running this set up? Like on track days or really quick B road blasts? I'm considering this set up but thought they may rub on full lock or hard driving. Maybe I should go 20's

 

[Christopher]

Holy thread bump.

Nope, no rubbing at all.
