NEW WHEELS  :laugh:



Very happy with them, absolutely mint, got them with Perelli Sport tyres too.

Looks good but please lower it a smidge!  :happy2:

Yep, it does desperately need lowering, thats next on the list so will happen soon  :smiley:

Think your springs and adjusters are on upside down

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

It's your spring and adjuster the wrong way around not the shocker just turn the spring and adjuster around

My adjuster has a bolt that goes into the middle of it to hold it in place, as it is at the min it goes through the hole in the lower control arm then into the threaded adjuster bit,
So if i was to flip the other way round where would the bolt, bolt through?

My FK's are fitted the same only takes 20 mins to adjust them and change the wheels
Just make sure you put some copper grease on the bolt as it can sometimes stick and spin the whole adjuster
Or just remove the bolt like I have
