xChris1609 Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Pasta baked / reverse raked Also helpers make a massive difference to ride quality; as they are supposed to be fully compressed and act more for negative travel to unloading the tyreat the moment i've found it comfier if a bit bouncier than with them in, felt like the front struts were solid with the helpers in, least now there is a bit of a suspension over bumps haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowey Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 that's because you still have an ARB.did you see the bit on the Mclaren on Top Gear the other week ?How they said it was comfier because it had no antiroll bar between the wheels, yeh that .

xChris1609 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Rota AleicaThey come in Dirty Stancing pink. loli actually like them, but 15x8 et0 will equal more archwork and i just can't afford to get a roller again, the only other option would be to raise it up, and that ain't happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 they can do different offsets on request! et20 or et15 would be spot on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChris1609 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 very interested in these, 15x9 but et 36, so with 195/45's would fit reasonably well front and backdo i dare try run 15x9 all round :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xChris1609 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 i've been slightly inspired to go a different route, all i shall say is that they are 16" and i plan to get lower on them. time will tell... won't be any updates till the bbs have gone..

Jowey Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) very interested in these, 15x9 but et 36, so with 195/45's would fit reasonably well front and backdo i dare try run 15x9 all round :oThey won't work at that offset up front.You'd need a atleast a 20mm spacer to make them have enough clearance on the inside edge.That'd make them poke 26mm further out than a 15x8 et25 TH mono which imo already poke too much however spaced 20mm and on the rear the 15x9's would sit pretty much the same as the GTA Alpine Turbine's sat on my Auto arosa.

xChris1609 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I forgot to come on here, but for those who don't use dirty stancing, here is a slight update...the lupo now sits helperless as before, wound down right to bottom but on 16 inch Montreal II alloys from a mk4 golf. (first time ive seen this done, feel free to prove me wrong)These are fitted with 20mm adapters, 165/40/16 nankangs and painted RAL 7042, tarmac grey.I didnt really want to post photos till id got everything done, but ah what the hell.The back end still has to be sorted as i haven't been bothered to put my shorter springs back in yet...theres a few things left on my to do list such as get bolt covers but youll see them updates after payday next week! oh and finally... I call bull**** to anyone with a 1l lupo who can't go lower cos 'they need a notch'... 16's no notch, no helpers and wound right to the bottom. and before anyone says ben has a 1l notched, he has custom front struts.

Lupo-Joe Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I have always wondered how them wheels would look on a lupo when I see them but not had the balls to do it. But fair play mate the look amazing. I love them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
