Valver is 35mm on front (should be going down lower sometime in the future) and apparently its just one-click on the rear torsion beam but we had a bit of trouble with that! 172, god knows how much lower she is I didnt measure it beforehand oops! But like I said, I promise more pics later!

[mr sheep]

nice.... but why no centre caps?

 

[JillyB]

More of a pink than a red really

 

[StevieP]

After we kinda decked it I decided to leave them off for more of a sl*g look, will put them back on soon Im sure, have 182 wheels for FCS anyway, but I think around the track I will take those centre caps off too!

 

[SOHROB]

looks well mean with them off,where bouts in leeds u get them done ?

 

[Nik]

Cool pics, looking very shiny.

No doubt about it, red is the colour of choice

 

[StevieP]

Me and me mate did them ourselves, took ages but saved a bit of dough and learnt a few things. They arent quite set up properly and I need my camber/traciking doing but hey.

Nik, yup, we do have the best colour

And Jilly, dont you like pink!?!

 

[Rick]

Steve, what sort of ride heaight is the kit set to out of the box? I still havent fitted mine yet...

 

[StevieP]

Dunno mate, just took them out and pissed about with them for a bit! They are about halfway up on the shocks and the spring adjuster things on the back.

 

[Rick]

Ah right, lol. It still looks a bit high at the back, or is that just a trick of the camera? What sort of drop do you think youre on now?

 

[Fred@BTM]

did you actually lower it at all???? (check out Eskis car!!!)

 

[StevieP]

Ha ha you joker, yeah I did lower it, Ive got scrubbage on the right hand side of the car, mainly the front, when I take a fast sharp corner, gonna have to do some tweaking methinks.

 

[Eskiisbest]

Hey up mate, looking good!!! How long did it take to fit and how low did you go?
