  1. theres Premier tyres in Hamilton too, They done Toyo's a while back when I was last there. They are on the way to Burnbank, cant remember the name of the place but they advertise a good bit so not difficult to find.
  2. ooooooooooouch... good luck getting that fixed....
  3. ok.. here goes... 9x16 Borbet T's all round, et 15, 4x100, 57.1 centrebore.... fit straight on!!! 215/40 - 16 Toyo Proxy T1-S's all round, rub on full lock to the right (60mm drop). Have 280 mm brakes underneath, hoping to get S2 twin pots to fit on, poss 305's eventually.....
  4. East End of Glasgow originally... moved to Surrey last summer and am now living it up in Farnborough, hants... :)
  5. no pics unfortunately as I only saw them when the car was on a lift in the Phirm getting a quick check over...!!! they do fit under the car however, the strut braces are the ones which go in the boot and under the bonnet - right?
  6. the ARB's are under the car... mine are a nice shade of red to match my C.... lol!!! :)
  7. Eibach is what I have, am not sure of any other makes to be honest - but they are highly recommended. I have seen them advertised on the Venom website so have a look on there. less than £170 a set from what I remember. The thing with the corrado is that even as standard on standard wheels the handling is better than most from that era, with a decent set of coilies/springs and dampers and things like poly bushes and ARB's you can only make it better...!!! :)
  8. Its Anti Roll Bars... they help prevent body roll on the car and make the handling feel much more responsive.... not a hugely expensive mod either.... and yup, I have 9's both front and rear.... :)
  9. from driving a few other rados with and without drops and on various wheel sizes I'd say yes, a low-profile, stretched tyre does feel harsh. However, at speed, I think the car feels more stable on the 9's... (my car was on std 15's when I got it so I do have a point of reference...) but its all personal preference at the end of the day... I am really happy with my set up and would recommend it to anyone looking for a drop of more than 40mm.... Kev - to be honest when I bought the car the ARB's didnt really mean anything to me but affter driving with them, and driving a rado without, it would be one of the first mods I'd do to any other Rado I own.... :)
  10. mine is set up with an approx 60-70mm drop at the front on Koni Coilovers and approx 50-55mm at the back on Koni adjustable shocks and springs, I also run 9x16's all round which admittedly doesnt help with the ride quality, although I do feel the handling at speed has improved. I do however want to even the suspension out to 70mm approx all round. Apparently the Koni front coilovers/rear shocks and springs was a proper suspension kit sold by Koni a while back - I originally thought it was just mismatched.... The Eibach ARB's are fantastic and add so much more to the handling of the car... I dont think I could own a Corrado without them now....
  11. not the hugest fan of the bonnet bit but absolutely love the colour...!!! make me think about smoothing mine all off and having her done a different colour - bright cherry purply red maybe.... mmmmmm..... loving the wheels too.... :wink:
  12. looks nice mate.... welcome aboard...! :)
  13. talc she is lovely... sometimes i forget just how lovely a standard rado can be... the height is perfect, am not a huge Speedline fan but on your car they look immense....!!! dont change a thing!!! just lovely.... :)
  14. ooooooooooooooh shineys!!!! i like the a8 ones...... v.nice...... :)
  15. pfft - if they look good and fit who cares...!!! :)
  16. yay!!! she's all better....!!! good bunch at the Phirm, and they clearly know their stuff.... now you can just get in and enjoy the bl**dy thing..... :)
  17. yay!!!! the last 3 min of the auction were hell - i had to keep refreshing to check what was happening....!!! they will look fab.... :)
  18. well i think its lovely!!!! great colour, nice wheels and just the right height!!!! :)
  19. well......... you know what I think.... GET EM!!! they are bloody lovely....!!!! :)
  20. we'll get her fixed, even if it is seriously a case of beans on toast for a month... I dont see how the smoke is a prob, she's always given a puff of smoke on start up, and from driving behind you last night it was no worse.... if the other place - who were definately very picky about the mot - will pass the emmissions then get it checked but it may not even be a prob... we'll get the garage cleared, tuck her away in there and take the rear beam off and see what can be done.... :) we'll have an Audi we can sell if needs must.... :)
  21. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: if theres a way to save her we will.... don't want to see her go to the big scrapyard in the sky.... :(
