Nathan_S Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 at the end of the day its what you want regardless of what others think! With a £450 budget on wheels i'd say you could get some nice BBS or neat wide 13" wheelsAs for lowering Nearly everyone will suggest coilovers they are more expensive but you can lower it exactly the amount you want! with out knackering your shocks (because you'd have removed them ) lowering springs shorten the life of your shocks! hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat2k8 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 kk , thx may think about the coil overs lyk , but may get the lowering springs until i save enough up for coil overs as mate got donme and look alrite and will do for a while :S Was think about gettin these for alloys but not sure ??? :S Not keen on BBS jst had a look , reli lookin for deep dish alloys.http://www.rimstyle.com/pages/products/pro...SLIFB1570410040 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz_Kez Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) does no-one have use of a full keyboard in this thread? (no offence James your sound )Can't make out half of these words & if your after deep dish, them rotas dont fit the bill you could get some decent deep dish wheels for £450get registered on edition 38 & or wheel whores Edited January 22, 2009 by Daz_Kez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesU Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I wasn't being serious for christs sake. It irritates me too when people can't use a damn keyboard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 you still **** up shocks when you are on coilovers, im on my second set already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy'dup Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) Rotas are poor quality wheels imo.you can lower your car for free if you dont mind running cut springs, coilovers are probably the best option though, you can get away with lowering springs but they usually give a dissapointing amount of drop, the shocks should be alright on -45mm springs but any lower and they'll wear out a bit quicker.and lastly, you're better off making up your own mind, try looking through readers rides to get some inspiration there's a whole load of cars in different styles and with different mods for you to look at if you want.maybe use the fabled search button, thats what its there for Edited January 23, 2009 by Boy'dup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emz Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) I managed to get a cheap set of coilovers for 80 until I manage to get round to buying some better ones but they still do the trick for now! As for wheels i'd probs settle for 14's Edited January 23, 2009 by Emz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 maybe use the fabled search button, thats what its there forahhhh so thats what thats for!!!! i thought it was just for decoration! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat2k8 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Thanks For the help , think i might try and look around for some coilovers , as just got paid today. Also have found some porshce teledials , which i like alot , so may end up getting them. Just need to decide what to lower the car by undecided atm .. Was wondering whats the safest bet to lower on 15s or 16s ?????Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat2k8 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 By lowering the car , wil it affect my insurance at all or is that just when you add on to the performance??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy'dup Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 By lowering the car , wil it affect my insurance at all or is that just when you add on to the performance???it will change your insurance unless you have a very kind insurer (most will see this as changing the handling of the car)ordont tell them (this is very frowned upon and most likely will void any insurance you have if you crash)the moral of the story is declare your mods kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
