What do you need, pm me and i'll put them aside for you.

[Baz666]

Thanks jbh i`m of the same words fella.

[Baz666]

pm Rav i`ll catch up later back to work now

[penton08]

it needs to be droped on its arse baz!! i will bring my grinder ive got some 60mm springs "in stock" if you wanna see how it would sit on them, but i doubt you would be able to get in and out of your estate slamed and on them dinky little wheels

[Baz666]

to be honest penton i`m only going to drop it 30/35 on the front because of the estate i live on.


anyway i want some front struts

[Jhonno]

It will look gay with that wheel/tyre setup unless you slam it fella..

[penton08]

ive got 100's of struts striped out ready to go if you want, but i say bollox to the struts baz! you need coilovers! that way if you do move you can wind them down. and it will ride SO much better

[Baz666]

i`ll have to want a while for coilovers ££££ short of it

[Rav335uk]

I'm sure you can pay Nathan in installments Baz.

[Duke137]

Those wheels look great, especially on that car. Good choice and good taste.

[Baz666]

thats fine i have enough debt already with getting any more.....that will just have to stay as it is.

[E30_KIID]

Baz dont slam it to hard unless you really dont like your front valance. Ravenswood is a bitch for speed bumps!! I remember going round there with my dad in his 325i which was 60/40 and every bump we scraped the exhaust. Lucky enough it didnt have a kit.

[Baz666]

yeah i know fella i dont intend to.. i my eye it look ok as it is...yeah ok it needs a little of the front and i will only be doing 30/35mm even if i buy coilovers.

[Jhonno]

Should've gone to specsavers Baz..

[Baz666]

jhonno have you ever driven around ravenswood in yours you would be scrapping everything.

[Jhonno]

I don't even know where it is fella..

Mine is low enough that I can no longer even get my jack minus saddle under the chassis rails, yet I can still navigate some hefty speed bumps on the way into work..

If you are going to leave it up high, it needs bigger tyres! I love the wheels, it's a good colour sport, but 4x4 spec ride height with 'euro style' tyre sizing looks daft!

[Baz666]

i know what your saying fella i know it needs it.

how much would you say it needs lowering by ?? 40/60mm ??

[Jhonno]

I would go 60/40, or 50/35 in your predicament I reckon..

I think you would be surprised what you can navigate in a very low car, as long as you are careful!

[Baz666]

Did i not see some 50/35 on here for sale ??? will have to look.

[penton08]

as i said baz, ive got various lowering springs. i reckon 60mm would look on the front maybe 40mm on the rear. try before you buy

[Rav335uk]

Try before you Buy, now that's a good offer Baz.

[Baz666]

thanks all the same penton but i would rather buy new one buddy.

[Jhonno]

Springs is springs.. Unless they are fooked, but they would be obvious!

[harry_p]

80/60 and hire a jcb for the weekend to remove the pesky speedbumps

[Jhonno]

I think the best solution here is to move house

[Baz666]

yeah i agree been trying

[darren1200]

cool wheels, i think one of your tyres is on the wrong way though mate!!!

[Baz666]

lol......no one has notice yet good man it has now been changed

[penton08]

furry muff!! but remember a set of decent springs (eibach/h&r) and a new set of dampers (bilstiens) will cost about the same as a set of basic gaz coilovers! any cheap spring/damper combo will ruin the ride and handling. and if you even think about a hot tunning kit jhonno will come and be sick on you!!

[tommy22]

penton his not buying springs for his car his going to b&q to buy 10 bags of sand and stick them in the boot and footwells

[Jhonno]

+1

[Baz666]

like i have said many times yes i know coilovers are going to have to wait a very long time. so springs are going to have to do for the time being I have my mot to deal with next and coilovers are to cheap ??

[Jhonno]

By far your best option is to chuck some 2nd hand springs on there till you can afford something decent.. You can even sell em on after, and get your money back..
