S666LER Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Update: Got the coilovers on today, i might raise it a tad as yet but so far very impressed with the ride, not too bumpy but roll in the corners has gone. First time off the jack... decided to raise it 30mm after that. Before After Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazjs Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Looks good, correct decision was made to raise after the first photo though ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S666LER Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 Gonna raise it more as yet as after a drive tonight its just a little to low. So will try another 30mm at the front and put the adjuster on the rears. All trial and error really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky1722 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Looks ace, well done. I'd agree with you on going up a wee bit on the front, should look spot on then. B) Have you painted under the headlights too? Stephen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S666LER Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 I got some black vinyl and traced around the bottom of the light.And the lip just below the light. Then just stuck it on. Yeah front a tad and see how it is then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikester Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 looked better when it was at its lowest i bet :) the ride on coilovers is something else compared to just been on springs isn't it. people always jump to conclusions and write off coilovers cos the 'want to retain ride quality'. my KW coilys were a far better ride when slammed to just a drop of 30mm on Eibach springs. i love the focus rs look of that vinyl, have you got any zoomed out pics?

S666LER Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 Yea the ride is not too bad, i have had tein and leda coilovers before on other cars and would say tein were the best. but the aps are not far behind. I will get a zoomed out pic done. I see those vinyl bits on the pumaspeed fiesta and just made some up at home. So you got you kws on then mikester???pic?

S666LER Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 I left the adjuster out on mine, just put the springs on. Now going to save for a remap. But next on the list i will start to retrim my interior once i get a chance to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andywest2k1 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 noooo, the comparison pic makes me want to lower mine now! Would the Eibach spring upgrade make any difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S666LER Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 noooo, the comparison pic makes me want to lower mine now! Would the eibach spring upgrade make any difference? I think you should give in to temptation..... A tad but from pics of the eibachs i have seen i was not that impressed. Rocky1722s car has got h&r -35mm springs on its and i think they are a better option for lowering springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned, here's a pic of mine sitting on -35mm H&R springs. I'm very pleased with the look. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont mind, where did you get them from and how much did they cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky1722 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Are those just spring upgrades? If you dont mind, where did you get them from and how much did they cost? Yes they're just a set of springs. Here's a link to where I got mine from. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/H-R-lowering-springs-Ford-Fiesta-year-08-35mm-/400135168794?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5d29ea231a Just watch the euro exchange rate at the time, they cost me a bit more than advertised. Cost me £188 in total and £47 for fitting from a local garage I know very well. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatty36 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 As mentioned, here's a pic of mine sitting on -35mm H&R springs. I'm very pleased with the look. :D Realli Realli love this car rocky ;), P.s coilovers look mint in the ride, i just went for the 50mm H&R's and it sits perfect and the front but i'd like it a touch lower at the back.

rocky1722 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Realli Realli love this car rocky ;), Well I really, really love your car. ;) :P I'm really, really jealous of your Cupspoiler splitter and skirts. I can't justify spending the £350 ish required to buy them though. They would finish off my car though. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S666LER Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 Re-trim is sort of starting, just got to make sure i go down the correct route. Got some of this^ and this lot vvv and thinking about doing the centers of the seats, not the whole center just the bit which has a curve at the bottom and top vv Will have red roof lining with some sort of stitching detail, and parts of dash and doors too. Still doing mock ups, but will be started asap Oh and a quick one of the car wet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
