thanks mate, much appreciated! I love how it looks now just still trying to decide wether i can live with it this low on a daily basis, also got some 19's to put it on which should raise it slightly but cannot afford tyres at the minute haha
 
Looks great perhaps a little too low at the front for me though ?
You must have rubbing issues i am no where near that low and i have a few ! lol
 
Jesus! You have slammed the feck on the front! It looks sweet as, I would do the same but I already hit speed bumps under my car and it's about 20mm higher than yours, you brave brave man
 
yea it rubs a bit like, gonna see about gettin arches rolled and removing arch liners when i get paid again!

Brave or stupid? fine line haha
 
Where did you get the coil overs? Looks really well. I want some

Prob wont help that much with a drop as extreme as yours but have u tried removing the large screw at the top of the wheel liner ? I took mine out and it stopped alot of rubbing !

I havent mate I'll give it a shot tho, is it just the 1 in the centre? Thanks
 
Don't think there's alot you can do to stop catching, your wheels aren't that wide and looking at the pics the ET is high too as they look tooled really close the car (as in not wide)

Ye just big one at the top of the arch in the middle not really needed and gives about another 5mm clearance.

Whats the ride quality like on them? I was looking at the JOM's but was a bit worried as they are very cheap in price lol
 
looks well that mate, how much were they?

Its good tbh mate, my cousin has KW V2's on his A3 and when he drove it yday he said it didn't feel that different and didn't justify the extra £500

Looks far too low at the front, if you ask me - it must make 3-pointers (or anything that requires full-lock) a pain in the backside!

And I'm not even going to start on speedbumps.

...But hey, each to their own!
 
200 notes aint bad at all lad!

cool, cant wait to get collies just to slam it to the deck on lowest settin just ta see how it looks :D
 
haha i reckon the front the car would hit the deck before they're wound right the way down, even when the above pics there was still loads of thread left, the back are as far down as they'll go without the adjusters in
 
Space that sh*t lol, looking good Ry, get your 19"s and and some 10 / 15mm spacers then worry about it rubbing.

Anyone who says its too low isn't hardcore enough ha ha, i'll now patiently await the imminent debate!

btw, what 19"s you got?
