finally got round to trial fitting the steelies after an inspirational trip to the derby dubs meet last night. the plan is to get 2 of the wheel re-centered to give it a bit of dish and bring them more flush with the rear arch's. then refurb them in a light silver for an oem look ive also got center caps and trim protectors to spray up and put on. might go abit mental when i spray the rim protectors im thinkin white with red flowers and just use them for show. any way pics

no tyres meens mad lows

haha

started on the suspension today didn't go brilliantly to be honest lol

first was getting it onto my mates drive

as you can see the exhaust came clean off the bracket was facing down so caught the curb and slid out of place ripping the rubber hangers off with it. got 2 new rubbers for £1.10 so not all bad.

the new shocks

the old (as you can see they're knackered)

old vs new. i dont understand why someone would risk chopped springs. im glad im getting rid.

well thats about as far as we got in the few hours we had on it today. we undid the rears at the top but couldn't get the bolt out at the bottom so they will be grinded and wacked out but ive got to wait untill tuesday until i can get replacements. im also going to be replacing the front cv boots, ball joints and track rod ends so they will all be ordered on monday and hopefully have them by tuesday also.

this is how the car stands atm without a rear spring

SLAMMED lol

also the rear shocks are adjustable from 60mm to 80mm and just wondered what height people would recommend

Dan

_Jon_ · 30th July 2011, 22:53

just go without springs

looks awesome like that lol

Wile0ut · 30th July 2011, 22:58

lol it does look good but i couldn't get up up the curb before so i think that might be a bit impractical. if i won the lottery it would be on bags

Prickle^p · 30th July 2011, 23:02

awesome.

iDale · 31st July 2011, 06:45

Looks so good with no springs lol

Reece1591 · 31st July 2011, 23:11

just a thought if the car is going to be lower when done and you had trouble getting on the drive, would it not be best to do it all on a level bit of pavement or something lol

but no springs on rear looks wikid not to sure the ride will be any good though lol ....

Wile0ut · 1st August 2011, 00:36

i know what your saying about the curb but thats the only place ive got to do it. im gunna get some wood for the down slope make a little ramp. and hope evrythig stays where it should

Dan

Reece1591 · 1st August 2011, 22:48

lol yh make nice long slope to get off lol of leave exhaust off for now and just pop it back on in a local car park or something what my mate did before when he slammed his civic ended up re fitting his exhaust, rear bumper and a side skirt in asda car park lol
