ben16v 0 Posted August 31, 2004 120mm is ridiculous IMO i`ve had -40MM and that scraped the splitter, got -35mm on koni`s & H&R at the mo and it`s cool ! doesnt look low but if you wanna drive your C then go for them-they are brilliant!!! as far as the induction kit goes then only the stroeve (i think) kit is suitable, it has the air meter on the top, but, not having tried it i wouldnt know but, i reckon just sit with your standard box, a K&N panel filter and dril it if you need to!?

CazzaVR 0 Posted August 31, 2004 Yeh, drop in a panel filter and you can either drill the wingside side of the box or route a cold air feed in- either through the carbon canister hole (under the air box) or from behind the front grill (prob easiest to do). Do a search as there's plenty of stuff on 16v airboxes. The Scottish Corrado Club website has an excellent 'How to' for the above mod. And yes, 120mm is rather too low. You'll need the arches rolled, spacers and the ride will be horrible for day to day driving! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hutchyvw 0 Posted September 1, 2004 You won't get 120mm on the front with any wheel size ( and be able to turn anyway ), but you can get 120mm on the back. I'm runnin the supersport coilovers wound all the way to the bottom on the rears and about 4/5ths of the way down on the fronts. I use my car everyday (40+ miles), sometimes it feels like i should buy a kidney belt and a neck brace, but i'm used to it like that i ran my mk2 golf at the same height. I think its up to you, depends wether you like it bumpy or not :?: As for wether your wheels will fit - i'm running 9x16's with et15 (205/40/16 stretched tyres) which required a huge amount of arch work. :!: :!: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
