Caz Turbo Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Whats people's thoughts on these? What's the ride like on 15s with stretch tyres? Good quality for budget or steer clear? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caz Turbo Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Ye I'm gonna put Jom coilovers on and I'm buying some 15" cades Eros in gold to go on my jazz blue lupo gonna use Bridgestone 165/50/15 tyres so hopefully it'll b good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 i think my wheels will make a difference though...when you rock the car at the moment the only part that moves is the tyre wall,there the standard 13" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigimo Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 whats is the standard wheel size for a lupo anyhow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 5.5J 13" offset of 35ish well my tyres are 175/65 R13 so i guess they will be 5.5J....back on the topic on the coilovers though they realy need to be kept greased up else they will siezeand when fitting coilover i recomend new rear bump stops, front top mounts and think about changing some of the front bushes for poly ones..the front wishbone ones are put under more stress when lowering.

luigimo Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 all good info,as you may have guessed am a totally newbit to lupo and arsosas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 no problem...it's also a good idea to get you traking checked after fitting coilovers especialy if you'v got expensive tyresmy system is put them on fully wound up leave them for a few days (50 mile) adjust the height to what you (want trial and error) ,leave it for a week or so to settle then get the tracking done. Then enjoy your low lupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
