Lovely! What suspension setup you got?

 

[ch!ppen]

It's on Ktec coilovers and then 15mm spacers at the back and 20mm spacers at the front

 

[shanedavison28]

Stupid question but what are spacers lol?

 

[ch!ppen]

Stupid question but what are spacers lol?

They space the wheels out pal. So the wheels stick out 20mm further than standard each side on the front and 15mm more on the back.

whats the ride like on ktecs?

Oh right cheers bud.

Fine imo. I find them pretty comfortable to say how low it is. Really nice ride. If you're wanting to do track day's they're too soft - but as a daily i think they're perfect

 

[Stefan.]

might consider some for mine, dont wanna go spending like £800 on coilies when i wont go near a track just bit lower and with an ok ride which you seem to say so

 

[uk300matt]

looks fantastic buddy.
cant wait to get mine lowered :-(

what tyres and sizes are you running?
looked at mine todat and it has the normal 195/45/16 on the front
but 205/45/16 on the rear?!

 

[ch!ppen]

I'm running 195/45 Toyo T1R's all round

 

[Jekyll]

[uk300matt]

The car is! Love this.

 

[ch!ppen]

Cheers again Just done a quick photoshop as a laugh with some people on another forum... It won't be happening as i refuse to spend silly money on wheels nowadays but it didn't look as bad as i expected!

[Chris.B]

Do it

 

[ch!ppen]

It's not going to happen. It'd be roughly around the 1k mark. I'm not spending a grand on wheels!!! Lol

 

[Scott™]

Always loved your car mate. Best 172 flamer on here.

Cheers dude. Not sure exactly what it's lowered by. The rear's wound down all the way but the front has a long way to go

And Turini's are a no i think. I like 5 spokers on it. If i was to swap it'd be for flat face CompMo 5 spokes i reckon. The D90's above would cost about a grand so they're never going to happen!!

Get yourself along to the next EM meet, i'll probably be there.

 

[uk300matt]

were do you meet pal?
didnt think there was anywere close to me were you met.
id love to pop along and get an idea of a list of things to do to my car.
only ineterested in subtle mods/improvements to driving.

my bugger will look like an off road 4x4 at the side of your lots cars though ffs.

Just keep an eye open in the East Midlands section of the forum. Tend to be in different places each time. Lol, don't worry about ride height. Can't look any gayer than Paul in his Sunflower

(Going to keep abusing the sunflower 'til it's lowered and the Cup spoiler is on)

 

[uk300matt]

lmao.
will do mate.
well its profit share from work next friday
so im thinking exhaust,decat and eibach sportlines?!
