She Is Low finally...

Tyso335 · 03-26-2013, 06:45 PM

thought id start a thread just for this cause not many people wana scroll though the whole build thread to see whats been done or updated so here is the latest

cheeky update:

let my car settle for few days and on friday in the cold went out n lowered my car. got her sitting ok still few adjustments needed, the front down more maybe and the rear up a little cause its rather close i cant fit my fingers between the arch and tyre.

heres a few pics of before and after

the Rear

the front

Its working again

needs more poke for sure, new tyres and spacers needed

Now to see the bitch lowww
heres the first attempt werent sitting perfect alround so need adjustment after.

after the adjustment she was sitting perfect for now. until i add spacers i will need to raise her up a little and the front down a touch maybe.

at the moment you get get your finger between the rear arch and tyre....but no rubbing

sorry about the dirt

Close :P
love these pics

im very happy with it for now just needs more poke and then shes there
comments welcome

That is one sweet looking car buddy

well done I love how low it sits but I couldn't get away with that where I live for stupid bloody speed bumps

Need to check your build thread to see what mods you've done

Think you completely nailed the ride height there at the end.

Phil325i · 03-26-2013, 09:24 PM

Nice...but you're front bumper wouldn't last more than five minutes on the roads where I live!

AWBimmer · 03-27-2013, 01:43 AM

Loooooks sooo nice buddy well done!! You've nailed the ride height spot on!!!

skins83 · 03-27-2013, 01:53 AM

That looks awesome mate, perfect ride height and wheels are great

Ste133 · 03-27-2013, 02:10 AM

Very nice look buddy. Threads like this make me think about spending even more money on my car!

Sweet

parapaul · 03-27-2013, 02:30 AM

Nice job

Too low for me, but I know I'm in a very small minority who prefer to see the tyre under the wheel arch

Looks great, but as the others have said. There are potholes that would rip your front bumper off around here!

doughboy · 03-27-2013, 03:23 AM

V nice OP.

I found when I uprated the suspenion and lowered the car, that the bumper hit the deck LESS often than standard over speed bumps and potholes

The stiffer damping and springs control the momentum of the car much better and means the front shocks extend up and down a lot less when you go up or down a speed bump, so you should end up with less scrapes not more, especially dropping off the back of speed bumps where the standard car would always scrape, the modded car never does.

Strange but true...

It's always those rubber 'flaps' under the nose that catch first, sounds grim but doesn't do any harm..

creepy coupe · 03-27-2013, 03:25 AM

Very nice indeed. Love it.

gurpswoo1 · 03-27-2013, 04:05 AM

Superb drop, I wish I could get away with that ride height, wouldn't even be able to get out my drive.

Agreed doughboy, for some reason the updated springs reduce the amount of under floor scrapes.

AdamC · 03-27-2013, 04:26 AM

Nice drop, wheels look great.

P 5UML · 03-27-2013, 04:33 AM

absolutely spot on bud! looks awesome!

how is she over the bumps etc??

mob17 · 03-27-2013, 06:06 AM

Car looks very nice, bet you're chuffed!

What's the ride/handling like?

sixpot · 03-27-2013, 06:07 AM

Looks great, standard M Sport ride height is too high in my opinion.

philmots · 03-27-2013, 06:32 AM

That actually looks really good. Wouldn't last 5 minutes on the roads round here.

Josh1a1h · 03-27-2013, 06:36 AM

Decked! Love it! I would love to run like that... But speed bumps in London are not forgiving! Looks awesome mate!

Where did you get your red stud covers? They look nice!

Dizzle · 03-27-2013, 07:19 AM

Sweet!

Looking low! What kit did you use?

safety_james · 03-27-2013, 07:21 AM

Sits really well!

Like that alot.. I am tempted to go for the BC coilovers from SSDD.. just waiting on that payday cheque!

she handles and rides amazing, theres so much dampening adjustment on these you can have it rock hard or softer the m sport. ive got it so it rides just a little harder the m sport and thts on 15clicks out of the 35 you get from soft to hard.
and I'm really chuffed thanks mate
