How much did you lower it?
Guessing aftermarket parts are rare for these.

next to impossible to get aftermarket parts so have to make do lol

two coils from front nd one from rear, people gasp when I tell them but the coils on the Jag are equal width front top to bottom and dont pig tail so removing a coil doesn't make a difference to the shape nor to the seating of the springs, the front spring is nearly 2ft long standard as well and the rear over a foot too.

Upsets everyone... I've never lost a spring
Ride maybe harsh if you go really low but it's good fun

I've got coilovers on the Orion but I find them noisy tbh
Much prefer a uprated spring/ shock combo with a modified spring

Yeh man I remember your mint red onion? That was chopped wasnt it? That was bad ass!

I had a maroon onion in the 90's, was chopped and when I went to fast round a xorner the rear spring would pop out, lads used to jump out and lift it up and pop it back in lol

Stranger than that, my mate crashed it, a few month later I got a black one.

We used to go beach and scratch names in boot if cars... went to beach in black one, went to put bames in boot... only to find our names already thrre lol we started to pull roof lining only to find it was a cut and shut and the rear was my old maroon one

Nightmare matey. So far(touch wood) ive never missed fuel a vehicle yet. A pump attendant at the local shell garage did though. He asked me what fuel i wanted and i said V power. So he put 20 quids worth of diesel v power in. I topped it up with 30 quid of petrol and the cossie was smoking back fireing the lot lol.

Just like usual then ha ha only joking. I emailed shell and got all my money back for the fuel.

Cool mini. I take it its had a roof chop??

I did it in my e36 diesel, ÂŁ40 worth of petrol lol. Phoned my mate And he towed me home and for helping me we transferred to the fuel to his car, that smoked a little bit but he was happy with free fuel. To be fair at the time I had 3 petrol cars, 2 motorbikes and a diesel car so easy mistake to make lol. I wonder how long before I put petrol in the rac van, now that would be embarrassing!!!!!!!!!

Coming on real well...I agree with the comments on the twin lights over the big singles...something about the twins that flow better with the lines of the car IMO

How bad were the arches scraping? Are you able to space the rears outs and maybe the front 5-10mm?

I love the twins, will not get rid but I'm in love with fish tanks atm they look awesome in person.

The arches have no space left for spacing with how low it is, the wheels tuck in a lot front and rear now.

Rear scrapped a lot and nothing at all now, spacing unneccessary.

Also rears are 10's and fronts are 9's so I was asking for trouble bolting such wide rims on lol

But I love her, winter wheels to sort now, have the XJR 17's I need to get painted up ready to fit.

Then mayne one day get you to sort stereo out lol
