looks like 60mm at the back but the front is defo 80mm think i need to cut my back bumpstops to get it down more.
-
Just needed batteries.
-
i know but ive used spax before on other cars and had no prob with them just hoping its a one off and as i said, dont know how long they were on the car or what kind of use they had b4 i bought it. was going to take a pic but i think my camera is busted or needs batteries!
-
dont know how long they were on the car but by the condition of them it looks like a long time. They were spax 40mm springs going by whats stamped on them. Going to order new bump stops cos they are a bit done in (technical term)!! Also just been to get tracking done and of the few places ive been, they cant do it cos the fronts too low!! :roll:
-
well thats them fitted and lookin lovely! no rubbing anywhere the front looks excellent but the back is stiil quite high. Think its cos i didnt cut the bumpstops car seems to much more comfortable and holds the road well but i still need to get the tracking done cos steering wheel is out a mile now!! prob due to the broken spring i took off
-
16 inch rims 205/45/16 tyres its already pretty low at the front prob about 60mm but th backs a good bit higher and ive got big spacers. if 18's go under the archers lowered that much should be ok (hopefully)
-
does anyone have these fitted? ive ordered a set just wondering how they handle/look struts are already uprated.
-
Ive noticed today as i was fitting spacers to stop wheels rubbing on lock that my n/s/f spring has snapped!! Ive ordered a set of spax 80mm springs from venom, (£90 inc vat + p&p) Does anyone have these? How do they handle? Any pics of c lowered this much?
-
lucky indeed mate!
-
Cant think of what would be causing the window or lock fault apart from maybe a wire earthing out on the body somewhere. buzzing sound could be the fuel pump which on my 16v is under car near the driver side (rhd) back wheel.
-
something tells me he might not go for that but its gotta be worth a try! :lol:
-
