No, i was actually going to keep both the same diameter,with 63mm O/D piping and then a 63-57mm reducer a the cooler, why is there a benefit to have the cold side reduced to say 57mm?

I think he just got sent the wrong size pipes thats how it came about on his, i would do it how you said mate 63-57mm at cooler you will have to let us know how you get on with it, have fun with the bumper again bet you can take it on and off with your eyes closed and 1 hand behind your back now id look into getting it made quick release

suspension

ok Then have been a little busy today managed to fit my 50/40 weitec spring kit, crappy phone pics

My H&R 15mm spacers to the rear

And a whiteline 24mm adjustable ARB set to medium

O and added a few extra things

The ride is so much better now, rear now feels attatched and so planted really am pleased with how it looks and feels even got rid of a knocking noise
Now all that is done i need a good old sit down and a pint

Great set of mods there mate, nice job. Hows the car feel with the additional mods?

 

[turbo009]

Looks nice,i like the sticker on you back window lol
Do you still have a OEM comfy ride? i want to lower mine sometime this year,but don't want to ruin my nice ride? or will it still be ok

 

[harty190486]

The car feels spot on still OEM but loads better, there is a little bit more damper rebound which you wouldnt have with matched dampers but other that that the back end feels really tight you can just push it more into bends its very controled, where as before you could feel the rear twitching away now its just stays planted and inline with the front,its just a totally diferent car to drive How the LCR should of been from the factory, might play with the ARB see what happens but this setup is really good would recomend it all thats need now is a front strut brace when funds allow

 

[turbo009]

Nice fun. Cheers for that,can't wait to lower mine,then will look loads better lol

 

[harty190486]

I've got the same rear ARB sat here waiting to be fitted, it arrived yesterday. Might get round to it this weekend.

How long did it take you roughly?

id say mate its a half hour to 3/4 hour job mate really easy to do just grease up all the poly and bolts, you will be amazed at the diffrence it makes mine is set to hard now tho and feels imense

 

[Mashburn]

Sweet. I've already got front and rear braces and an R32 FARB so this will finish things off nicely i think.

Not sure wether to go for hard or medium yet though.

i tried medium for about a week and was amazed, now am trying hard but need new rear tyres so cant really test it but there is defo a diffrence but maybe too hard and is showing the weakness in front end handling will see when ave fitted new rubber tho

 

[Mashburn]

I might go with medium to start with then. See how i get on and adjust it if needs be.

looks really nice
