[johnmaher]

[farhanali89]

[KPARRIS-JONES]

Top work.

johnmaher, Farhanali89 did you cut your bump stops at all? i did when i fitted my Tein 50\25mm springs

if jonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooo didnt do his could this explain the lack of drop do you think?

[cabcurtains]

Looks Auris like on the last pic with the rub strips removed from the doors, not sure if thats good or bad ;)

Wheels look good

If it was my car i wouldn't have let Jan Speed (whoever she is) write her name on my bumper :P ;)

I knew there was something missing in that pic i couldn't put my finger on it exactly but now you say and its obviously.

White callipers would look beastly, but you'd need to put the engine covers back to white though. ;)

Are you sure? They would look good until you applied the brakes for the 1st time ;)

[BRIDGES]

Looking good fella. If the springs have only been fitted then they will need time to settle and it will be lower, very low for springs :D

True but it would still look laarrvuurly for the 5 seconds they were white. :D

[ricc]

white brakes would be a massive fail! lol.....

silver ftw.

I have to disagree! :P

Depends what car it's on IMO, and I reckon they would look great on jono's. Everyone to their own I guess....

[andycam06]

makes a big difference, they will bed in better after bit of driving, took mine about a week to get to final height,

wheels look well

wouldnt have the stickers or that exhaust though

whats this about the bumpstops, that the rubber at the top of the spring ? they have to be cut ?

[ricc]

bump stop is usually high impact foam on the shaft that abosrbs shock when the damper is fully compressed. so if you go low low, that has to be shortened to compensate.

[jonnnnnnnnnnnno]

Thanks for the replays guys hopefully it gets a little lower but i am still much happier with that hight than before!

I'm going to do the brakes in gloss black and have the white wheels?

Tyre size on them is 225/45/17 as i only just got the wheels there the tyre that come on them.

[ricc]

gloss brakes? your choice sailor! :P

[KPARRIS-JONES]

gloss brakes? your choice sailor! :P

Gloss looks pretty awesome on brakes IMO :P

[jonnnnnnnnnnnno]

Gloss black so as its black it will be fine.

But what you think about the white wheels?

Ha as for the exhaust it seemed a good idea at the time but i want something new now.

also the janspeed stick is coming off when i can get round to getting the heat gun out.

[andycam06]

any rubbing with the 225s, so what else is on the list after the brakes,............. spoiler, skirts ?
