16's lowered?????

[willg]

im thinking of going smaller wheels hoping for that bit of extra acceleration does any1 know if 16's would fit preferably deep dish as im looking to lower it as much as possible also as i really like the euro look if so anyone know of any alloys that would fit many thanks will

 

[willg]

oh also any 1 got any ideas of where i could get black vinyl sticker for my bonnet and roof or how it would look i have a yellow leon btw cheers

what car mate? most 16's will fit all leon's other than cupra r's with brembos. 8" width is about as wide as you will want to go afaik.

 

[willg]

just have a 180 leon cupra 20vt mate will 16 make a big difference obviously i want to go low also or it would look extremely silly only worry im having is them looking way too small or not fitting but as u just said they will fit so thats 1 worry gone lol

Leon on 16s and lowered -40 mm.

 

[willg]

thats not bad mate i may go for the facelift 17s as i dont like too much tire its such a frustrating choice id maybe look to try dropping mine 60 if thats possible

 

[greesha]

Well i know what u mean. I cant afford anymore styling changes atm (i want 17s and facelift/cupra R bumpers). I need to spend some money on handling first.

There is one thing i like about those 16s and prefacelift bumpers. This car is pretty much stealth and doesnt look like its very fast. Some drivers are really surprised ;pp.

 

[willg]

yeah definately i want facelift bumpers not keen on cupra r's each to their own i just prefer the more smooth euro look so that would be my choice im jus stuck in the same boat as u

I think the facelift starfish alloys would look nice

 

[willg]

adam m8 thats stunning. how much is that lowered by?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Thanks.....I'm not 100% sure I reckon 55-60mm

Sits nice in my opinion, did in all honesty handle better when it was about 15mm higher but it didnt look as smart......I think what I have now is a good compromise

 

[willg]

so do u have yours on coilovers, how much is a cheap set mate any ideas

 

[DannyC87]

DPM are doing a deal on Weitecs at the minute - £380 inc pnp iirc. Just fitted a set to mine on Friday night, very nice handling characteristics and a relatively composed ride - good compromise

 

[willg]

thats not a bad price im sure i see a set for 200 but im probably thinking now that maybe springs fitted? seems more likely, any1 know about the sticker that some people use whereas it doesnt really look like a sticker i know what i mean but i sound like an idiot sayin this lol

 

[willg]

oh also anybody know any deep dish alloys that are preferably 16's possibly 17's even if their off of another car many thanks will

there are coilies on the bay for about £200 + not sure how good tho

do you mean vinyl stickers , i,e sky vans where it looks like a paint job but is just a sticker

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

You can get Jamex coilovers on ebay for around £200

Also the Hottuning ones on ebay for around £170

The ones I'm using are Raceland coilovers, had them on my ibiza for 2 years with no problems so happy to have them again, 2 year warranty to

Your goning to get better quality for more money, just depends on if you just want looks or performance or both at the top end......not everyone is willing to spend £800 on coilovers on a 3k car hence quite a few people getting the cheaper options.

 

[willg]

ye just the stickers that look like a paint job basically just thinking of going black on my bonnet roof n mirrors. Also mainly want it for looks n going fast in a straight line so cheapies will [robs be fine for now i guess

 

[willg]

im guessing all coilovers are adjustable also ?
