Mate,

Work on it myself and have started to use PitStart in north London as its the only self service garage in the area and at £10 an hour with ramps and all the tools its just easier to do it yourself there

 

[CJcupra]

Ahh, I need my springs fitting and places like central tyre wont touch it unless they've ordered the part plus the garages where i work are a bit, lets say, Hillbilly. I'm sure they're fine but you know when you just get that Impression Lol. I've never had the parts or time to do suspension work myself

 

[ayacoub92]

do you still have your old springs by any chance mate?

Ahhh yeh i found that when trying to get the helper springs out my coilovers. either a straight up no or a stupidly high price quoted. I mean £300 to get helper springs taken out. no f**kin chance! so yeh this PitStart place is good if you know how to do it but don't have space or tools like me Probably up there this weekend on sunday as i need to cut the bumpstops a bit more and remove the adjusters on the rear to drop it down a bit more

 

[t.oldaker]

Welll no realy update but took some pictures the other night. And planning on getting it lower at the front somehow as its sitting on cut bumpstops atm and then also ditch the adjusters at the back to fully drop it to sump scrapeing position

they are apex 35mm lowering springs.

 

[reece1591]

Adjusters out .... More low ...... Sweeeeeeeeet

I ran with no adjusters on my arosa dropped it good inch lol do it and add camber

 

[ayacoub92]

they are apex 35mm lowering springs.

would you recommend them? about £105 on ebay, dunno if its worth paying the 30 quid more for the H&R's?

haha well adjusters and helpers are out the front already, gotta trim the bumpstops some more and see what i can do about dropping the front more before i ditch all the rear stuff of i will be running some seriously messed up rake

Yep i had no issues with mine and loved them.

Some poeple say they are a firm ride but i got used to it and it never bothered me. Your always going to get a firmer ride when instaling lowering springs.

Hey mate,when i took the helper springs out on my VW Golf this is how low it went,it was running stretched 185/35 tyres so it could ride that low though!!

Haha awesome!!! yeh my rear drops and tucks rim like that with no adjusters in, its just the front i have to play around with to try and sit as low so i dont reverse rake.

 

[goldie74]

This is how low the front went

The ride was harsh but it used to get looks and comments where ever it went!
Think your car looks great,looking forward to seeing it at UD.

 

[reece1591]

That golf looks amazing from them couple pics let alone whole car shots lol bet tyres aren't easy to find

Can't wait to see the Ibiza though hopefully you can make it to the Chatham meet I should be lowered by then got tools now and hopefully new wheel colour

Haha to be fair mate anything Tom or anyone can do to their cars you can too, yours is coming together nicely as well

It's shots like this that make me think I'm not ready for UD this year! Looking really good mate, hope you get the bumpstops sorted out.
