macaloon Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 after being at Revolution for around 2 hours my AP Coilovers are fitted and i have had my geometry set using their Hunter camera alignment system..... i also got them to put nitrogen in my tyres just for the crack... i hope you guys like it im certainly loving it handles like a dream now.awaits the haters..... could of gone lower.. blah blah..... yes i could have but round my way there's far to many bumps to go to low and personally i think its sitting just nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to get my red sport on coilovers now! How you finding the AP's? Think i'll be getting a set of them in the new year.once i get spacers on it will look much lower as there will be barely any space between the tyre and the archThe AP's are awesome nice and firm really eliminates the body roll massivly compared to the standard suspension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash24 Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 i also got them to put nitrogen in my tyres just for the crack...Do you notice any difference with nitrogen in the tyres? I was investigating using nitrogen at the company I used to work at and found a load of positives e.g. less pressure loss, consistant in hot and cold, no rust due to oxidation etc. but never actually got to drive on them!

macaloon Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 no difference in driving i can notice as of yet, but your right the benfits over time are - no loss of psi & not effected by tempraturei think il probably see the benefit overtime where normal air would lose psi and need refilled but not straight away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macaloon Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Cheers guys glad you like the car, yeah I'm local mostly found around the Washington area. I keep trying to get to meets but it's always when I'm workingThe plates are 100% legal I got them from registrationstation in sunderland they get them direct from dubmeister, I've been pulled once for them I explained to the officer how they are within the law have correct markings and he said on your way. The aeros are Sparco ones from revolution I think one was £8 n the longer 1 was £9 n they fit and wipe perfectlyUPDATE well I've took the LCR front splitter off for now as I wanna refit it so it's a better fit but at the moment I like the look without it makes the car look smoother pics to follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
