looking good, what wheels are those?

Looks really good :)

Not too bad i thought it was gonna be mega slammed on 50mms but its looks fine.

Are you going to uprate your shocks???

Looks really nice. I think if it was the ZS and had the skirts it would look bit too low but on yours. *thumbs up*

:)

Looks really good however I thought it would've looked a bit lower. Doesn't look that much different from mine really, I think. :unsure:

I could've sworn they were 18" alloys when I first saw them but I see they're 17's.

Hi mate, any chance you could take another pic of the car for me? I know it seems silly, but as time goes on the springs beed in more and it will get lower. Im very interested in buying a set of these springs. It doesn't matter if the cars clean or not :)

Would be much appreciated,

Cheers

Yeah i did, but due to the long wait, lack of money and insurance had to cancel them, looking for an alternative, and i think this could be it lol.

haha cheers :) only cost me £170 for the 4 ;)

to be honest it does thrash about a bit at high speed on bumpy roads, no were near as smooth as it was. the cornering definitely makes up for it though, hardly any body roll and grips a lot better.

lucky lad!! i wish i could get a good set for that... and i like the ride how comfortable it is, but want to get rid of this stupid body roll its horrendous when throwin it about, the car can cope it handles fine just feels like its on jelly at times

didnt you get springs for the diesel variant ?

  • 7 years later...

Perfect... Exactly what I was looking for.

I've been toying with the 35mm and 50mm kit for my mk7. I've seen people with cars a lot lower than this saying that they're 35mm when they're clearly a lot more than 50mm!

Is this on the ford shocks? As I'm worried about a crashy ride.
