got the old springs out with the grinder not a bad job to get em in tbh, gotta get the front level tomoro now though i reckon..... think im gonna have some ground clearance problems when i boot it and am challenged with speed bumps however

before....



after....



exhaust



with a bit of acceleration

 

Bet that handles a treat now

 

Looked better before mate, sorry - and was alot easier to get about in town with speedhumps..........but your car chap !!!!

 

u didn't cut the springs did ya look far 2 low now TBH

 

Thats well low

 

Too low mate.

This is a temp muck about while you sort proper springs/suspension isn't it?

 

IMO mate that is to low and will annoy the fook out of you when you need to go the long way round to avoid bumps etc.It looked better before.And will do nothing for your tyre wear.Keep an eye on those inside edges.Just my opinion.

 

You cut the springs...?

 

its on koni full suspension, and tbh mate there aint any speed bumps anywhere near our house or anywhere id drive in my town so not a massive issue, it dont really handle anyway with it being 2wd, will see what it looks like when ive done the fronts tomorrow though

 

Looks crap... will bump steer all over the shop. Sort it back the way it was...

 

are you fucking serious?!

cut springs on a cossie? you think thats safe? jesus next thing you'll be doing 150mph like that too

you'll wear inner edges of tyres too and will struggle with passengers in the back.

good idea though

 

Looked a lot better before. My 2wd handles spot on or it may be my outstanding driving skills

 

i liked it before

 

CUT THE SPRINGS TO GET EM OUT!!!!!!

 

I think it looks awesome but i've always like cars really low.

 

Nonsense.

YOUR car doesn't handle - and it wont be any better now that you've lowered it, allowing yourself a load of unwanted negative camber on the rear.

Try a 2wd saff with a good suspension setup, and you'll be amazed - none of this "decked to the floor bruvva" nonsense.

 

i didnt say that lowering it anymore would make it handle better anyway did i?

at the end of the day, im perfectly happy with it as it is, if that changes then ill change the springs, nothing too serious is it really at end of the day, its on koni's not some Ł25 shit off ebay!

 

Surely a 2wd cossie with a decent setup would handle just fine?

 

Looks like you've put slabs in the back

 

fair play mate i shouldve gone to specsavers! then again im still pretty sure it looks crap and will have camber issues at the rear. whatever floats your boat

 

COUNCIL HOUSE MODS AT THEIR BEST

 

KONI'S SUCK

 

dicko - seen you at the arnison center last night. i was in the black astra ohhh the shame of being in a vauxhall) parked in front of you's

 

did you hear the other half laughing at the blue corsa exhaust? what a fookin disgrace! ya should have come over and said hello

 

Well, it is his car after all!

On another note, what's up with the patterned brick work on the houses?

 

that exhaust was terrible! propa' discrace! lol
it's my first day on here. i'll come and say hi next time, hopfully i'll be in my cougar (if i can afford petrol lol)
do you's go up there every sunday?

 

yeah but seems like every one goes to south sheilds now we went up after arni was proper busy aswell

 

i heard that like, about sheilds. is it true the barriers shut at half 9 at the arni?

 

Barriers normally shut earlier than half 9 at the arni on sundays, sainsburys blocked their car off with trolleys (so hard to move) the other week.

 

were you at the arni last night? i seen a white S1 RS turbo you?

 

It looked spot on before!!!!!!! IMO of course

I once saw a manky white 2wd on std rims which was about that low and I have to say it looked miles worse than yours, it was shocking, but still. Too low for me!

 

Nevermind lowering it, you want to get that rust sorted underneath

 

Was there for a bit in my saph ... escort saphire ha ha. My S1 is away getting fixed

 

[quote=, it dont really handle anyway with it being 2wd, [/quote]

Mines on avo adjustables all round with poly bushes m8, she handles just fine

 

i think it looked better before, just looks like youve got knackered suspension on the back now!

 

My lad lowered mine and i have lowing springs that have been chopped 2! it handles well, looks gud, doesnt catch.
he has done this on all his sierra's (from 2ltr sierra's to xr4x4's to cossie's both 2wd n 4wd).for the last 10 years! always been fine!!

so i say, Good Council Mod!! some people on here r total pricks, 'want to sort rust out??' whats that all about?!?! mayb people like there own cars eh! bit less bitching wud b gud!!

i think it looks mint sarah!! be better when get front done!

heres a pic of mine on the 17s and on the 16s.

 

Before for me.

 

i think it looks great and will look even better when its level out abit at the front but as said its not gunna do anything for handling and things will wear quicker but i think your aware of this anyway

Looks phat accelerating up the road

 

I prefer the way it was but each to their own


Angie - Yours looks nice with the escos wheels

 

no need for the sort the rust comment, cheeky prick!
