If you've recently changed the top mounts then they should be fine. Did AmD quote that price? When I asked them about fitting suspension they said about £325!

Really? Was that including buying them? Or just fitting them? You got me worried now I may have to double check. If it is that I will give you a shout and we can do it at your mates if that's ok

car looks cool gav, glad you got your enthusiasm back for it.

The wheels and ride height look spot on too..

Didnt you like the focus then? what was wrong with it?, i have heard they are slower than you imagine. Oh and why are you choosing the AmD map over the custom code one?

Yeah i am glad i got back into it to mate i love it now, The focus was ok but its alot of money for something that is the same as what i already have and yeah they are a bit disappointing performance wise. Hopefully it will settle a little bit lower. The custom code map is spot on but if i do anything else to the car after the map dont i have to remap the car to the mods?

look well mate need to sort the brembos now mate the looking a bit sorry and spoiling those nice wheels;)

Yeah i know mate, me and D.K spoke about this and being the kind man he is said he would help me do them hopefully :)

They look spot on mate, as I said before they are one of the very few sets of alloys that actually suit the LCR :) D.K can help me do my brembos soon too then :p after I've had my cambelt and waterpump done :(

I am trying to decide weather to sell my old wheels now or not, it may be a bit of a waste if they just sit in the shed, not sure though, what you think?

I was thinking that but i dont think i will ever put them back on, was thinking near £400 as i have just had brand new tyres put on all 4 last month which set me back a bit. The car keeps getting lower now, its looking awsome well chuffed with it, hmmmm now what next lol

I agree with the wife, far better than the LCR common tat :cartman:

you'll get top dollar with new rubber on them as well ;)

LCR common tat!! Paahhh :rifle: dont start ripping it out of us LCR boys cause we have a K04 :p hehe. Joking aside, you should easily get £550 for them with decent rubber on mate ;)
