[Ed...]

save pritchard, save for the holey grail that is V3's then it will look like this VVVVV



sorry thats the only picture i had that shows it from the side lol

 

[Ed...]

on and it will go about 20 mm lower than that on 18's but ud easy get another 40 -45 mm on 17's

 

[pritchardR27]

its not the money its just i had coilovers on my 182 but found that every week i went lower and lower till it wasnt practical, but couldn't higher it as i liked it so low thats y i want springs so its lower but i cant mess with it lol, also i like the standard suspension

 

[pritchardR27]

also how much would you say yours is lowerd by m8 ?

 

[Ed...]

in that picture 30mm front 25mm back

when i first fitted the coili's i had the wheels touching the wheel arch liners about 60mm lower than standard lol

it looked sick but cost me a new set of arch liners lmao

 

[pritchardR27]

Pics of my first 197 lowered on H&R's

Only couple I can find just now without spacers,




With spacers,

 

[Ed...]

looks 10 times better than standard.

 

[mark_1873]

I didn't like the look of it from some angles with spacers, like directly behind. It made the wheels look too narrow and in a odd position on the body.

It looked great without the spacers, they also ruin the lower rear quarters !

 

[Ed...]

that they do stone chips galore

 

[pritchardR27]

looks ace sold h&r's it is do they change/ruin the handeling at all? also any good places to get them fited?

 

[mark_1873]

I didn't have a cup packed 197 so cant say for them but I felt it improved high speed corners like on the motorway but on tighter corners I felt it understeered a bit earlier than standard.

Don't get me wrong though the understeering early wasn't really an issue. Going from what a few have said on here the Eibach's are better suited to cup pack but they don't lower it as much.

 

[pritchardR27]

Auhh thanx m8 givese somthing to think about.do they stone chip when lowerd or when u put the spacers on?

 

[ManicStreetEvo]

What size spacers are those?

I'd love some H&R for mine, but will probably never have it done. The springs themselves don't cost much do they, it's just getting them fitted, plus I've still got warrenty on my car so I think it would cause a few problems with that.

 

[skny]

it would be the spacers that cause stonechips I believe, as the lower part of the front wheel will stick out a lot more than without them, then there is no barrier for the sand and stones that could keep it from hitting the rear quarter, but you could always have some protective film applied on the rear quarter to prevent the damage, it is mostly the lower part of the rear quarter.

mines on H&R's from the dealers. I'm pretty sure they are manufacturer approved which means they don't void any warrenty.

this is my only real side on picture

I've just got the standard 197 suspension, i'm wondering how much would it cost (roughly from your experience) to lower it, a bit...

Not sure about the spacers tho, but i'm very keen on the R26 18" wheels hey Woody :thumbsup:
