Cursed speed bumps..! How much lower is it than standard?

 

[vocky]

that is low

 

[Drakey]

Now that looks sweet,....... how big are them alloys?

 

[xinitialz]

mine isnt that low, but my front bumper is about a pack of cigs above the ground and its doable showo..

 

[Matt]

That looks spot on, what drop is it?

 

[Grez]

Its dropped about 40-45ish and the wheels are 18's. Funny you mention speed bumps the main road out of my village is covered with them. I either try and avoid them or just go really slow. Ive had all the suspension bushes uprated too but they're a bit harder to take pictures of.

[Mark_647]

Very nice !! Whats it handle like ?

 

[Grez]

The tyres are fine, its recent passed M.o.t. As for handling its something else, i mistook it for a Smaller hatch back the other week It does stick quite well and its not crashy

 

[Hexstatic]

loooks good mate

what make/model of coilovers are they ?

i have a 2.2 vec myself and are wanting to get some soon.......

vec looks nice mate but i feal those rear lights let it down,

you thought about getting some tinted standard clusters, as its a dark car it may suit it really well, theyre these if u aint seent hem before matey... think they would suit it alot better

Lovely! 8)
What coilovers you got and have you had them corner weighted and got the alighnment kit if not once you do it you'll notice some difference mate my wee bros got a Veccy B lowered on Koni 1150 coilovers powerflex bushes and Eibach alighnment kit on 17s here's a couple of pics 1 of the coilovers

and here's a scan of an american mag with corner weighting explained

Hope this helps mate...
cheers.. Alan

 

[Grez]

Mine are GMAX lmao they are better than you think. Also as for the rear lights ive been looking for standard tinted clusters. the car came with the chav lights. Where do i get corner weighting done and the alignment kit from?

 

[Europa Blue SE1]

I got my alighnment kit from Demon Tweeks Grez and the corner weighting it was my mechanic that done it for me I found out about him through a mate so try and find a garage that preps Rally cars etc or mibbe Courtenay you should be able to get the alighnment kit but don't know if they do the corner weighting notsure.gif (probably will though)
cheers.. Alan

 

[sloanyboy]

nice n low bet the handling is much better?

Got coilovers on mine which are made by Koni, FK Konigs. FK080 up to 950kg (1.8 and 2ltr) a bit harsh other than cruizin round town.
Fronts are set like Europas any less and not tolerable at high speed down motorway, settled on hardest setting for the damping and rebound due to lack of travel- 1.5mm less it bounces.

You need the back raising about 10 to 15mm to shift a little weight forward if you want it to handle, +30 if you really want it to handle. Tried painstakingly all ride heights and settled on minimum damping a right pain to set up on the rear these FK Konigs- no clicks just totate and time the compression on a bench.

4 new tyres this afternoon only done 14k tops, even wear all round. Powerflex all round and Eibach front camber adjusters set up last year by http://www.hitechmotorsport.co.uk/index.htm
