deathhead Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 i think its a photoshop of the fourth pic down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStryder360 Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Wow alot of slammed voters LOL... Is it really not a pain? Speed humps? Strangely elevated ramps?I was told it would be dropped 35mm.. Which is alot Yeah it does look better yeah but no one else understands looks just practicality LOL.Would be good to see a LooP with ATS Classics on as I can't find a pic anywhere!Thanks for the comments guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty_Gti Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 35mm would hardly be noticable! some loops on here are slammed more like 100mm! i am down fairly low and have no trouble with speed bumps/ramps. Treat yourself to a set of phil j coilovers and experiment with ride height.Its your car, do what you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 surprisingly i have no trouble! i have about 6cm left to go on the front and its fully down on the back but i am rolling with 13" steels too. but yeah no trouble with speed bumps etc as long as i take it carefully!ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathhead Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 No trouble here either, just take it easy and dont brake as you hit speed bumps and your fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenzie Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Balls to 35mm, mine is around 120mm!Speed bumps are an issue but I'd say its worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStryder360 Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Finally did something to my LooP. Been asking on here about offsets etc for the ATS's, and decided to buy them 8s n 7s.The fronts need 5ml longer bolts, which I dont know where to get from, due to 5ml spacer.Rears are a toughy as I need wider archs, so I am looking around at other archs for cars, as my bodyshopmanperson said he could mould it into the bodywork. Original plan was to get a GTi (Lupo) rear wing, but... costs £240 from VW parts dealer...Anyway, enjoy. I sure am now that I have to get and pay more.. grrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
