Couple of mods done

[robby]

Well this week i've fitted a LCR front splitter and a set of 18" BBS CH reps so i thought i'd post some pics - and yes the next mod is Eibach springs

I've just painted the plastic wheel bolt covers black which weren't fitted when taking pics

Cheers cal - still not 100% on the wheels as i think they'd suit a darker colour car? i was going to get either RS4 or the new RS6 reps but they all looked too shiney as well

 

[gazzaw888]

looks lovely rob :thumbsup: can i be cheeky again and ask where you got your bbs reps from i have been lookin at these also but most sets i have seen the centrcaps are plain, was the splitter hard to fit ?

cheers
gary

 

[scottie123]

looks good mate.

Will be a LOT better when you get the springs on. You gone for pro or street eibachs?

Hey Gary
I bought the wheels from Sorted alloys in Barnsley, he sells a lot of wheels on ebay - http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/SORTED-ALLOY-WHEELS__W0QQ_armrsZ1 total inc swapping tyres from old wheels £389

The splitter was quite straight forward, i used a dremmel to flatten the tabs which stuck up (so it didn't sit flush to bottom of bumper), then cut down the 2 pillars in the centre by appros 15mm (otherwise the middle sits too low - not straight) then used self tappers to screw it up to the bumper, i used 2 longer screws in the middle which fit through the 2 pillars (they're hollow) to pull the middle up :icon_thumright:

Hi Scottie

i'm looking at the Pro - are they the ones that lower 50mm? i think it's a little higher than usual now as i only had the wheels swapped yesterday and after jacking the car up i don't think it's settled back yet? definately needs a drop anyway

 

[scottie123]

I believe the pro are 30mm, street are 50mm.

Remember though, these are measurements from standard suspension, so as you have s line suspension, you need to knock off 20mm from either of them measurements to give you what real drop you will get.

By the looks of it, I would go Street!

Ah i got them mixed up - so street will drop it 30mm (compared for the SL springs)?
Just need to find somewhere to buy and get them fitted in west yorks

 

[scottie123]

damian at dpm will sort you out a good price on them I am sure.

If you already have the springs then, it will make finding somewhere just to 'fit' them a lot easier.

Remember, it is also a good move to get a laser alignment done after fitting the springs, as it will all change a little.

I fitted my springs myself, and then just got a full laser alignment done at a local STS pro garage

Cheers Scottie - how much were your springs?
I've just looked on ebay and can only find Sportline (lowers 45-50) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Eibach-Sportl...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item1e538a4f66 and Pro (lowers 30mm) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180424090299&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
I don't suppose you know the part number of yours?

 

[scottie123]

perhaps the 50mm ones are called sportline......I'm old and my memory is pap!

I got my springs with eibach dampers of ebay s/h.

I am considering getting the 50mm drop ones though myself, as i need just a little bit more loweridge!

 

[robby]

I thought you car looked low enough - do you have any side on pics?

All here mate

 

[robby]

Looks great Scottie, i guess it'll look better slightly lower

Are you getting the S3 pedals? and don't forget the silver indi bulbs to clean up your headlights :icon_thumright:

 

[4NT]

Looking good, once the springs are on I think it will look perfecto! :icon_thumright:

 

[NHN]

Once the cars lowered to a sensible height, the wheels will blend in alot better trust me, as they will be nearer the wings & match up nicely as the black gap is what makes them look weird atm.

 

[robby]

Thinking of carrying a few bags of sand in the boot and under the bonnet to lower it for now

4NT - do you have any pics of your car side on with the Sportlines?

 

[NHN]

In light of one of your recent threads, if you catch my drift, I did find that strange to post up fella, you know me I like a joke, but.....................................enough said from me anyway fella.

OT: Guess the brake pressure calibration worked then.

The centres came with the wheels - centres were chrome plastic then the BBS badges are domed stickers - can usually get them on ebay :icon_thumright:

 

[Lance-22]

looking good mate, the lcr splitter looks really well on that colour, i like what youve done with it. get some pics up once the springs are on!!
