Fi.Es.Ta Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Well after a long battle with myself to decide weather to lower the car due to bad road conditions where i live,i bit the bullet and bought some Eibach pro's.Ive had the springs on 5 days and im amazed at how much the handling has changed its absolutley fantastic,sticks to the road like a flattened dead toad and pretty much zero body roll and as silly as it sounds it feels alot smoother and solid than OE springs and even on these roads here theres still plenty of rebound in the shocks and struts. Overall best mod ive done and would totally recommend it to anyone with the mk7 Couple of pics with it lowered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will also lower mine very soon because everybody who did this mod was really pleased with the improvement in the handling, therefore why not. And it even looks much better :) Great pictures!

HA06ZZA Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hi mate where did you end up getting them from and how much did you pay? They look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tone Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Looks good that Oz, "that's another fine mess you've got me into".......now I'll have to look into that as well. I bet that's not going to be as cheap as the intake mod. I'm not going to sleep tonight wondering how the heck can I do a cheap lowering mod. I wonder how much I can cut off the existing springs......ermmmmm Just as a thought the photo's are excellent, to such a degree it looks like your car has actually got bigger / wider flairs on the wheel arches, very trendy, nice one.

MRC89 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Nice improvement. Are the tail lights tinted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONETrueSaturday Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Car is stunning mate! Colour and wheels are real nice. Great pic with the sunset too. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Stunning pics - only things I don't like are the rally mud flaps fitted behind the Ford ones - looks a bit naff, and I wouldn't have the rear drums yellow (not something you want to draw attention to!)

D4nz0 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Completely agree with iNath. The drum colour is quite silly looking. The car is stunning apart from that. I've only ever seen those alloys once before, on a mk1.5 focus, but they suit the Fez perfectly, and I'm slightly jealous! I don't like a lot of aftermarket alloys tbh, but those have the perfect balance between sporty and oem, love em. If I could make one tiny criticism, it would be the rear lights not matching colour with the rear fogs, I think you have to either darken the fogs or put rears back to standard, either way just so they match. But again, I'm being very very picky, only because its a stunning car. Congrats to you buddy. Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fi.Es.Ta Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hi mate where did you end up getting them from and how much did you pay? They look great Thanks it cost me $298 which is roughly about 142 GBP and i got them from sasha @ european parts.net. Looks good that Oz, "that's another fine mess you've got me into".......now I'll have to look into that as well. I bet that's not going to be as cheap as the intake mod.

Thanks tone a tip for you and those that are interested when taking pictures of your car dont do it when the sun is high you want to do it about half hour before sunset,by doing this you will Accentuate all the lines and curves on any car. Nice improvement. Are the tail lights tinted? Thanks yes the tail lights are tinted i hate the standard red its way to bright for my liking.

Thanks mate personnel preference thing i love the muddies,The yellow was purposely done to compliment the blue i can live with drum brakes its just a standard thing for car manufacturers to do this on 99% of cars under 2litre capacity. Completely agree with iNath. The drum colour is quite silly looking. The car is stunning apart from that.

Danny Thanks danny,yeah when i bought these mags i had never seen them on any car and when i photoshopped them onto the fez they really looked good so i went with them and because the other wheels that where on offer when i bought the fez where cack and did nothing for me. I will agree with you on the rear fogs it was just lazyness on my behalf not matching them with the tail lights i will get around to doing them.
