so whats the handling and ride like now?

How much did it cost to get fitted?

 

[kezFR07]

special price as im mates with a mechanic £150 fitted and tracked up. rides same as on old springs but it handles miles better its definatly not a bumpier ride at all

Sorry for the delayed response. My wheels are also 18 inch pro race 1.2's like DJ Horace, Only my offset is 40 gving it an even wider stance.

Never had a problem with catching or rubbing on the arches and they are eibach springs with the standard SEAT setup.

With the lower profile toyo proxes T1-R tyres the overall circumference is the same as my FR 17's were.

Yea looks spot on fair play. So you wouldnt say that it has stopped the crashy suspension, but saying that i heard that the petrols are nowhere as near as bad as the diesels. I was planning on solving 2 issues at once with these (ride height and the crashing suspension)

aye not at all mate the ride is just the same as before which i dont think is bad at all hey if people want comfort then buy a 4x4 know what i mean. the handling is much better and the drop makes it look miles better. wish i had it done ages ago. they should come that low when they leave the factory i reckon
