I finally got shot of the -55mm springs and got a set of -25mm springs instead and the transformation is stunning. The car drives so much nicer than before and also seems to have gained a bit more mechanical grip than it had.



Also added a powder coated rocker cover



Didn't get as far as fridge freezer shopping though so the missus wasn't too happy

 

Looking very nice

 

Looks good

 

Yep a massive improvement Steve, i have a set of -25 and -35mm springs to find which ones are best, anything lower than -40mm is very uncomfy and jeopardizes the suspension setup, looks the nuts mate

Chris.

 

Cheers

Only reason the 55's were fitted were because I had them on the old XR2i so they were in my spares bin.

Chuffed with the new stuff though. Really makes me smile while driving

 

Good stuff

 

around -25 to -35 is spot on IMO.

 

 

alright mate. looks mean on black rims merc grey too

 

Nice looking motor mate.

 

Thats looking nice matey

 

Hello Lou Lou

 

i can guess what it was like, i used to have -60mm springs on my rs and once i stuck the avos on it was a much nicer ride

 

are they 16" mondeo rims????

just bought a set for my si, but they look a bit big on it

but theyve still got 205 tyres

 

looks like TSW steaths to me.

if you got 205 tyres on the mondeo wheel that your putting on a fez you need to change then to 195

 

They are 15" TSW Stealths of 7J width and ET35 offset.

Ironically they are the wheels from my S2 that I sold to a mate of my brothers after fitting my 17's. Was surprised when I brought them back again 2 years later

Here's the rims the first time around



Oh the shame of the CD on the fan and the fibreglass front bumper and those tints

And when I first got them, trial fitting before refurb and painting



Not sure if I preffered them the normal colour now
