Meh, My old car sat at 60mm all round and that sat perfect.

I'm fully aware of this mk3 lower than mk5 business. I've seen a mk4 on 60 springs and asked him when he was gonna lower it! :lol:

I bought 4 valves on ebay for £1.50.. Not sure on the process of changing them though, might need to take the tyre of which would cause it to be about £10-15 for that as they charge that per wheel fitted and balanced!

Reason it sits higher on the back is because all companies do is take the spring rate and length from a standard, then shorten the length and generally increase the rate by a set number to give you a general 40mm drop and there is no weight on the rear end in comparison to the front, so the spring rate keeps it sitting higher, where as in a standard spring, the spring is soft as warm dog shit, it also gives you better handling - put a car slightly higher on its arse and it will handle better - fact.

Chris, valve changes require the tyre to be taken off and re-sealed. Anyway, why did you buy new valves anyway? The garage would have given you new ones when they fitted the tyres lol.

Yeah i've got 50mm on the front and back, but i have the original rubber mount as well as the floflex mount on the back (Makes the spring sit better), so it sits about 10mm higher than the front.

as per title, past few days i've got to the stage where i'm just getting pissed off with my car. nothing majorly wrong, just me being a brat.

sprayed my steelies matt black, looked fookin' great off the car (will post pics later), on the car they looked terrible. so back to the wheel trims.
story with the alloys, atm i'm not feeling them, one needed a valve replacing and front left was making a funny noise when i was braking, and since im picky i decided to remove them once again.

badly want her lowered so i think thats the next job. really want coilovers so i can adjust to please!

i also want a mint shell so it doesnt look like crap :( fucking people who dont give a shit about peoples cars. was basically mint when i got her too!

rant over. i also want a focus st170 now :D

I had a stage of really wanting a focus st170, insurance soon ruined that for me lol, it was a mint electric blue one (i think thats what colour it was, the lighter blue one) and it looked amazing but then decided it wasnt worth getting in debt over and see the si through lol.

I may get one, one day but i will probably never get rid of the si.
