H guys, I've had this a month now, really enjoying it! Thought I would get a progress thread up and running for the little stuff i have done since I've had it!

The car is a 57 plate with 42k on it, and has got the Recaro's, I had to have them, only thing being a rip in the drivers one which i will be getting sorted. Also came with White Speedline's which I have been told where an optional extra from the factory??

Couple of pictures:

Few things I've done since I've had it, and they are some Pioneer speakers in the rear as there were no speakers in there :tongueout:inky: and had some mats delivered this morning. Got them second hand, but in great condition and for half the price!!! :thumbup: O yeah and some cheeky 197.net stickers that I stuck on during my lunchtime today (lunchime mods FTW)

Sorry for some good looking photos and some s**t. You can tell which ones are on a proper camera and which ones are on my iPhone

Other Plans:

ITG Panel Filter Done
KTR Pro Performance Cat Back Exhaust
Lowering Done
Spacers (in two minds weather to or not because of handling debate)
Keep it cleannnnnnnn!!
Other small/subtle things

Cheers guys!! hope you like!! Carn't wait to go up to TRAX with a few of you!

Looking good dude, I like the White speedlines on that. Think a wee ride height adjustment is needed do we not? :wink:

Yes just a bit of arch gap there. How much is a good compromise between looks and handling? and recommended springs etc.

any help?

Good compromise I'd says is between 20-30mm. That's all the car needs tbh. Mine is on kw v1's and they offer a great setup for fast road without being harsh enough to break you.

The stance is what I love the most........seen below courtesy of Waitrose car park :wink:

If your looking for springs only, eibach and h&r are the only ones to consider.
 
I'd reccomend the H&Rs to anyone, it's down to personal preference really but I prefer my current setup to standard.

Some people find them quite harsh, so see if there's anybody local to you with them fitted and go for a ride with them is what I'd say. :smile:

Good idea, getting a drive with the setup on first is certainly well worth it if your not sure about what you want!

Nice one man. I'm thinking Coil-overs be a bit pricey tbh. On my previous car (Saxo VTR) I uprated the springs and dampers with Apex ones, and that was a hard ride!! Upper and lower strut braces to, she handled a beast!!

There ain't no-one around by me with one lol one lowered anyway lol Going up to TRAX so if somebody would be kind enough to take me for a spin to see how i feel about the springs that would be great!!!

I had the exact same setup but was using Bilstein suspension - brilliant ability.
 
Springs would have to be the choice. Coilies are a bit pricey! As long as the ride isnt altered to much I wouldnt mind!

Planning on buying an ITG panel filter this week sometime!
