R27 #15 - lowered

[RussZS]

Over the weekend, as part of a birthday present for me, I had my car lowered on H&R springs, something which I've been meaning to do for a while.

After having detailed 6 cars in the last week, mine was looking rather sorry for itself, so I have it a quick clean with Dodo BTBM, then topped it with something new to me - Rainforest Rub. I must say that it was a pleasure to use, and left a superb wet look to the paint. I can't believe I hadn't tried it sooner!

Some pics:









Also, I finally got around to trying a black wheel on my car... what do you think? I'm still not sure...



Spoiler next... then Bilstein shocks :driver:

Cheers,
Russ.

Lovely buddy! Looks nice n clean, good ride height as well.

Not a fan of the black tbh, i think amhasite looks much smarter in contrast with the bodywork!

Love it! Let the mods begin Russ

Black ftw! Looks real nice, great detail as well.

Wow, looks fantastic.
Do you have a side shot, Before & After?

Looks great. I have to say that I like the black wheels, if you change your mind and want to sell them, let me know. As for the Rainforest Rub, it is great I started out with that but switched to the Blue Velvet.

i quite like the black wheels.

 

[RussZS]

Thanks for the comments folks

Jase, which wheel spacers do you have on yours? The stance was perfect at Trax.

I quite like the black wheels you devil!
Looking good though! What kinda spoiler you getting?

 

[chappo]

looks great mate,

keep the black wheels Russ,

 

[richandgem]

the black wheels look cool, how you finding the ride with the lowering springs on?

 

[RussZS]

It's a fair bit firmer tbh, I think coupled with the Cup chassis etc, it can be a bit bumpy.

I didn't like me hitting a speed bump at 40 last night... after getting the tracking done! lol.

I'd definitely recommend them though - the handling is MUCH better.

Looking good! Hard to tell with the black wheel as it's just one wheel... Looks quite good tho.

As said in a previous post any chance of before after pics?

Really want to get my car stance sorted out, just don't know if I should save for coilovers or get springs?

spacers and springs, cheaper solution. Spacers make a huge difference to the look aswell.

That's what a planning, looks so good! You have spacers now don't you?

 

[Adrian]

yes, H&R 25mm

looking great, am thinking of getting my wheels black myself, but was thinking of the matt black as on the speedlines, anyway,

bilstein does have shocks for the 197 now ????

just watch it, as the 2.0 16v isnt the same as the 197 iirc.
