Looking very good :happy2:
Judging by the reg, you might be quite local to me too!
I have had coilovers sitting for mine for around 6 months now, 6 weeks is alot better progress.
I'm waiting for the better weather in spring, to get my coilovers and alloys on :grin:
-
Liking the colour of the wheels there.
sits nice and proud on the rear too
-
Cheers mate...where abouts your from? My aim was to wait until the good weather next year but got the rims at good money so decided just to do it now :)
Thanks Grande....had been toying with the thought of going lower all round but since the bad weather is coming up decided best to leave it.
-
I'm from Lisburn direction.
I use mine for work as well, so at the moment the standard suspension still makes sense.
-
Im from Portadown. I use mine for work also but i only have to go about 2mile so nothing extreme :driver: :signLOL:

These just arrived today :)

How do you rate the coilovers? :happy2:

They are ok for the money. Although wish i might have saved up for longer and went for a better set. Have a knocking coming from the rear of the car and its only happened since the coilovers went in, so thinking it could be the shock! Ive been told by different people to put the OEM shock back in to see if that cures it. You putting coilovers in your car?

Installed new osram night breaker + H7 light bulbs last night. You can see how much of a difference they make from the picture. Just have to see what on coming traffic think of these now :signLOL:

Went for FK AK street coilovers......Handling is ok but im not 1 for throwing the car into the corner or anything just for the looks. Though i wish now i would have waited until i got a better set. The Ak streets seem to be a very harsh ride compared to what ive had before!!
Cheers for the positive comments mate... :happy2: :happy2:

I'm in Belfast and wondering if you have any rust on your car? I'm on to dealer at mo re my rusty wings and boot. Very annoying!
