rocky1722 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Looking good Sammy B) A wee bit too low for me on the front, the rear looks fine. I know you want to lower the rear a bit further, what you like is what matters most. ;) You'll have to watch kerbs and humps / bumps. :( I'm getting mine lowered -35mm on Thursday on H&R springs. ;) Stephen.

RSM123 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Looks awesome,i dont know if you remember but i was pm'ing you over on zsoc regarding these coilovers, finally took the plunge today and ordered them phoned up the company that deal directly with importing ap coilovers in from germany and managed to get them for £445 delivered, going to take about 3 weeks though as apparently they don't have any stocked so have to be shipped from germany. I bet you get lots of looks when you are out and about now, had any problems getting over speedbumps or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flic Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 A tad to low for me personally! I prefer the wheels to be in line with the arches, but that's just me. How are you finding the ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper-N Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Wow that is LOW. Looks nice on your car, but isn't it effin stiff?? I had a Golf Cabriolet Mk1 lowered like that, it was fun in the beginning but i eventually speedbumps became a nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark M.K Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Have to say, i'm not a huge fan of that tbh. It really don't suit the car and not to mention it will ruin the comfort of the car. Each to their own... <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatty36 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 ;) This is gorgeous mate, looks really really well and cant wait to get mine done on the kw's! Is there any chance you could get me a pic from side on at a bit more of a distance so you can see the front of the car and the back if you get me?
