Default New wheels and springs are on
Had the springs fitted yesterday to bring the ride height UP becuase the PI springs on the car had sagged (Thanks to Matt-ZVHTurbo for the springs )

Fitted the wheels this morning and defo more room in the arches now on Spax springs. What you all think of the ride height and wheels ?

looks good. I think it would be better without the spots though.

Yeah i thought that too Chris. Problem is if I go for -40mm springs at front theres a chance the tyres will rub the arches under braking so have gone for the safe option and the -25mm springs.

Hope the car settles down a little over the next few days

if you only just put them on, then it should come down a bit more over the next few days, as you said

I dont understand how the front looks to high? Looks perfect to me, the tyres look nice and level with the arches..........Perfect

Spots aren't gay, their there for a purpose aint they. I like'em and yes i am having them on the cabbie.

Can i have a picture of my car there too
