Tada's GReeeeN Lupo GTI - Last update 1.11.2014
SamEdwardSwain1 replied to tttttada's topic in Member's Cars
update !!!!!!! please -
depends on your driving style aswell as my arosa at 135mm lower scrapes like mad (expected) but when i had it at 100mm i could avoid nearly everything but my friend has scraped his lupo when it was at 60mm even at 135 i can get over wide speed bumps just not the thin little fookers
-
iv had to cut mine down, new ones if you have it low will make it bounce like mad my fronts are about as thick as an iphone 5 and mine still bounces when going round a corner if im going fast my rears are cut flush with the metal surround IMO not worth replacing or ugrading them mate

not posted one of mine for a while, this is her at her lowest to date :') she is a 2001 mk2 arosa 1.4 16v 100bhp sport current wheels are alluline twist's/cups/turbines (loads of names) they are 15x7 et38 running 20mm spacers and compressed fk springs on the rear running helpers out not threads left at front on TA Technix coillovers (next year i have a set of citroen c2 fk front springs comperssed to go in 3cm shorter than TA's) currently have a 2" notch and 20mm engine raised on engine side (plan on doing 30 or 40mm raise to each side over christmas) she had a reinforced subframe but a trip to gti fest got rid of the extra 5mm :/ (note to self, cats eyes are bigger than ground clearance) any questions just ask me all photo's from Stephen Barker at Images:SB this lad is awesome with a camera ^ ^ ^ ^ and a genuine nice guy
