The red one looked good. Quite big spacers though?

That was about 6months after I got it in 2006 :w00t:

Yeah H&R 25mm

 

[Keiran197]

is it worth getting the spacers to match??looks really good,much lower than standard which is what i want

 

[BenW]

All depends on the look you're after keiran. Personally I think the wheels look even more lost when the car's lowered

 

[Keiran197]

so is that a yes?dont really like the 25mm ones,they push the wheels to far out,maybe like a 15mm one.what yours like?

 

[MikeLYR27]

Think 18mm is a good one. Thats how much further a set of oz's stick out (same as marks).

 

[mark_1873]

Yeah the 25mm is a bit much and they gave the lower rear quarters a terrible rash :w00t: :lol:

 

[BenW]

I've got 16mm on mine, look perfect on FF ride height. 197-F1 has 12mm on his with cup suspension and looks nice too

Not really chips just a rash, the paint was never broken. A rash is the best way I could descibe it, sorry

With the OZ's Ive had no such problems, maybe because everything sticks to the 888's instead :lol:

The 888s also like to fill the arches with $hit£ lol.

So the car was dropped of on Friday morning to have the suspension set.

Height, camber, toe, aligned...etc

Heres some pics of how it looks now. The coilovers rebound and compression are currently set at 0 till they are run in (roughly 300 miles) Even set at this the car is totally different, it's so much more direct and theres alot more feel through the wheel.

Hi dear Mark :bounce1:

i'm waiting for ast top mount, do you remember your height, camber, toe, aligned...etc?:thumbup:

I didn't set them mate. I had them set for fast road use, it ended up easier to provoke into lift off oversteer more than standard but it was more progressive and turn in was much sharper.

Take it to someone that looks after rally cars and they'll sort it for you.

I didn't ask for a specific height or anything just wanted it set the best it could be for fast road and one or two track sessions a month.

You sticking with H&R Coilovers ?

 

[simoxmino]

Exactly mark, i ordered them and i'll fit on my h&r.
