Default RL7's are on!

Just finished putting them on after spending god knows how long watching a trye fitter or 2 strugling to put the 225/35's on
Need to sort out the front springs as replaced them this morning to get the front off the deck and now its too high imo
Cheers Spadge...

The front was too low before so i bought a set of Escort Cossie Koni springs and put the front ones on this morning! I should have thought about the fact that even though these lower an Escos by 30mm due to the weight difference they don't lower mine at all
Steve feck off lol fookin Peugeot rims I'll take some more pics when its lower

dont bother lowering it at all , looks mint proper stance non of this nose down shit whats that all about , sit the car level , a nice gap in the arch !! rather than worrying wether your poncy fookin tyres are going to scrape your arches !! leave it as is m8 , youll prob find that geometry is prob almost right looking at those piccys !!


god i fookin hate low cars

Markk i know what your saying mate! Tonight was the 1st time i have been able to park it on the drive without the exhaust scraping on the peak between path and drive!
I measured the gap between the rear arch and tyre and the front arch and tyre and the front is about 7mm higher so it does need to come down a touch!
Just need to get some springs that drop the front about 20mm to get it back to the standard type stance

Spadgeroo, you might need to give it time for the new springs to settle before you decide they don't lower enough?
