The Hub 0 Posted November 26, 2008 Good work fella now get the coilovers on ;) They aren't as bad as most people would think, I found them a little bouncey at first but they soon settle in. I can't complain for 150 quid, and like you said it is a good way to get the car low till funds allow a decent set :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leonard 0 Posted December 4, 2008 isnt the corrado badge really hard to get off, thats what ive heard any way Yeah I did snap mine :nuts: But then people suggested using some flossing line or fishing line behind it to get it off in one piece. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Super-G 0 Posted February 8, 2009 That really does look properly sweet. You say it doesn't rub. Have you rolled the arches? How are you finding the ride of the coilovers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted February 8, 2009 Very sweet indeed.. looks excellent! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purds 1 Posted February 8, 2009 That really does look properly sweet. You say it doesn't rub. Have you rolled the arches? How are you finding the ride of the coilovers? thanks mate, the arches are standard, i think the coiloys could actually come down a bit more lol (might do it tommorow), one thing about the hottuning coilys is they are rock solid but in this case thats a good thing so that helps with the no rubbing :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamin 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Wheels look nice dood, glad to see you got the right offset on them too, will help spare your arches and tyres! Do yo get any rubbing at the front on full lock? I am thinking of going 9" with 205 tyres, is it me or do those schmidts seem to expose the rim more than others? Keep up the good work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purds 1 Posted February 9, 2009 cheers buddy, i only get slight scrub on full lock but only on the left side as its slightly lower than the right (needs adjusting) right down more that is :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philuk 0 Posted February 13, 2009 very nice mate, makes me wanna get some more 9's for the front! jealous that you get no catching, either mine needs more archwork or your coilovers dont have as much bounce as mine! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
