New pictures - Coilovers now fitted!

[jablitt]

Ok, fitted my v-maxx coilovers last week. Finally got the ride hight and camber as i like it (i think). Gave her a really quick clean today and headed out to take a couple pictures. Hope you like.

Here are two pictures before the coilovers went on. They are from Ultimate Street Car a few weekends ago. (I had already fitted Eibach sportlines which are now for sale).

Various pictures from today:

I got my girlfriend to try and take some out the window while driving, lol. Some are pretty good!

Do like the Clio 3 wheels, looks fresh.

 

[Harpham]

Beauts!

 

[nick.]

rather like the mk3 wheels on your sport, nice work m8 ride height looks very nice too

 

[mikey123]

they wheels actually suite the ph2's! Really nice motor there.

 

[jablitt]

cheers, the wheels look much better for a re-furb!

 

[Alexander]

Don't like the wheels, but the ride height looks spot on!

 

[Ben]

I really like the wheels mate, a bit different to the norm on here. Looks really nice dude.

 

[adamlewis01]

looks different mate, needs spacers on fornt imo.

[Greeny.]

Nice Astra

Why havnt you fitted turinis? I dont understand this :quiet:

Looks well though mate, nice to see some different alloys on a 172.

 

[Ash87]

lol, careful, you'll get banned. thanks for the comment.

very nice

Thanks matey, its tempting to slam it right down but i've kept it drivable but still looking quite low.

Cheers, i think the wheels keep it looking fairly OE.

 

[Timmay]

yeah gotta keep it driveable - how much you lowered by?

The backs are wound down to a couple mms from being all the way down and if you measure the fronts by how much thread it could still be lowered by there is 72 mms of thread not being used. they are v-maxx coilovers by the way.

 

[Tigger]

Looks great, how does it feel?

 

[Sam]

Looks spot on mate, but i think id get some spacers for the front if it where mine.

Your car though.

Looks great, how does it feel?

it feels moist and warm . . .

it feels great, its not anywhere near as much of a bone shaker as i thought it was going to be. amazing ride quality to be honest. i had already fitted eibach sportlines so the change isnt as pronounced as it would have been from standard suspension. just got to keep an eye out for pot holes!!!

i'd already considered getting spacers. interesting to hear other peoples thoughts.

 

[Slammed172]

love it, love the wheels too, nice and different, thumbs up.

 

[172cupwizard]

Dont like the alloys and the rear is too low! otherwise its nice

 

[Tom H]

Looking very nice indeed ! Car still looks in factory condition

The milage still stupidly low ?

You will be glad to know the FR that replaced it has been no where near as reliable :dapprove:
