daz phimo Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 verry tidy clean lookin loop. you should colour code the front badge to. that will look koool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Springs fitted yesterday I know it isn't low, and is still too high for a lot of peoples taste - they're only 40mm but pretty happy with them. Ride is ALOT better than I expected. I thought it would be rock hard but its not much different to standard really, just a bit bouncier. And it's a lot of fun round corners now Standard wheels are still on until I get camber done this week, don't wanna risk it eating through the toyos and they won't take long to swap over.I'll get better pics up later but just a couple of quick phone ones:before:after: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little rich Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 much better amber! lala is looking very smartHappy 18th too x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 It looks a good height to me. I like the way you got matching yellow springs To make it less bouncy you could fit some firmer shock absorbers - they would compensate for the increased spring rates. But if you're happy with it then thats all that matters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Camber and Tracking were sorted yesterday so today the BBS went back on. I got rid of the yellow centres because they looked cack once they were on the car, so the caps are just plain for now whilst I get some more black centers. Pretty happy with it, but would be happier if it was lower, so I reckon coilovers could be making an appearance at the end of the summer BeforeAfterMaybe see some of you tomorrow!

Amber Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Had a service yesterday, and fitted new brake discs as I was getting a lot of vibration through the steering wheel when braking. That's now all cured.Latest Pictures:Happy with how the springs have settled I'd love to lower it more but it'll do for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
