Just read this Ben.

As others have said it sounds like droplinks. Very simple and cheap to do too

Can I buy the coilies then?

Ben you should have persued the coilovers! Even with 5 people in my car it doesn't scrub, there hard enough so you don't get much more lows when theres weight in there!
Coulda just had the on fully hard and it wouldn't have mattered!

I'm lowering my car another 25mm thats practically all your lowering by!

But i'm glad you got it all sorted and drop links are a piece of piss to replace I did my own without even knowing what the hell they were I just changed it, two bolts! lol

Even though the car veers off to the lift slightly, i still feel accomplished

current spec (not the most exciting, but ill do one anyway!)

30mm eibach springs, standard shocks

k&n panel filter

magnex cat back 3"

rs2000 alloys in matt black

black on metallic blue ford badges

ford mudflaps

these are the main things i wanted done and now its just tweeking it and getting it as perfect as i can!

pics...

(not to everyone's taste i know!)


...how low can you go? not very!



... repping it for the boys! hopefully will be getting an si badge alsooooo! since i dont have one



also, what is this? was on the hub and i couldnt fit the spacer on because of it?


for the coilovers...

you can see the coilover on the right (compared to the standard front shock) that it wouldn't have fit!



yes, the calipers and drums will be painted in the next couple of weeks!

Looks really good, I like them wheels.

cheers lou, yeah they look great in person mate. cnat stop smiling and i keep seeing lads/boy racers having a good stare at the motor.

when the bloke from the garage i was at took it for a test drive to see why it was pulling to the left, as he pulled off and changed gear i could hear it popping! omg jizzed one big time i did, didnt realise it did when i drove, but being outside of it was like wow!

Why is there so little thread on the coilover? Mine isnt like that.

See:

_________________

thats why i got confused danny. its because the thread below the thread that is showing is all mangled mate, so it wouldnt go any lower!

mine popped like a bitch when I changed gear.. When it worked I love it, I could get it to actually go bang when I down shifted to second

Shoulda done the coilover route still!!

_________________

i wish i could hear mine fully

lmao pleaseeee stop i do feel like shit for not fitting them/getting them sorted, if they didnt sell i would keep it in mind for the future, but until i sort insurance, i think this is the best route... for now

30mm is better than nothing right? i mean compared to what it was, its massively different!
