D.K's LCR, #Projectcarbon. Still alive

[aaronipswich]

Carbon looks amazing
I wanna do lots of parts on mine but just worried I'll mess it up

 

[D.K]

Another Brembo freshen up! I've got the paint, paper etc to do mine but it'll have to wait until I'm back I think. Love reading updates on your thread dude, the DIY Carbon King!

Thanks Ape

Start with something simple.
Ity takes a lot of practise and patients and money

 

[Mike R]

Cant wait to see that finished.. Top stuff

 

[EL]

Good stuff Darren. If you need a hand I'm happy to come round and.............err make some tea All this fiddly crap isn't my thing. Tend to push it to my brother to do for me!!

 

[connorh]

is going to look the part man!

 

[D.K]

Coilovers are on

Before; 67cm all round

After; Front 64.5cm Rear 63cm

The ride is a bit bouncy at the rear at the moment, so I might might raise the rear a bit after the weekend so the car is sitting level, there is also very little clearance between the rear beam and the exhaust.

Please excuse the dirt this is on my list of "To do's"

Brembo stickers arrived today and will be going on tomorrow

Quite like this ride height

[sambryant]

very nice darren, cant wait to get mine now . is that measurement from the ground to the middle of the arch? the front of yours looks sport on

 

[D.K]

Yes mate I measured from the ground to the top of the arch.

They need to settle in but at the moment the front is just right

 

[sambryant]

[tyrer]

Looks like a nice drop, sits well

 

[Murdered LCR]

Lower ..... Lol

 

[EmDee]

[jonjay]

They dropped you near enough exactly same as me daz I remember the measurements! Looks great!

Bouncy rear might be the arb. Lower the stiffness.

Lower ..... Lol

Dan the back is about as low as it can go, Theres onlt about a 10mm gap between the rear beam and the exhaust.

It wont fit now mate

I'm going to give it a couple of hundred miles to settle in and then start making adjustment's

I believe I'm the 1st person to be taken out in the car post-lowering..

Cheers for popping by earlier mate... Here are the pics I got on the iphone. Shame we had no SLR to hand, but it looks the nuts.

It felt great for the 1st day after having them fitted. Very sure footed and minimal roll. Once they settle it's going to be sweet.
