RE: Sam's astor stanced gti6 - Tom - 26-11-2013
Those springs are maaaad.
f*cking cool though!
RE: Sam's astor stanced gti6 - Ricky - 26-11-2013
Looks good low, but I wouldn't be happy driving a car with that suspension setup, the dampers obviously have no hope of coping with 875lb springs and soon you are just going to bounce off the road into a ditch surely?
RE: Sam's astor stanced gti6 - Midnightclub - 27-11-2013
IMO something like 400lb springs would've still done the job but it at least would have had some damping effect
RE: Sam's astor stanced gti6 - Craigus - 27-11-2013
Mental haha dash must rattle itself to bits
RE: Sam's astor stanced gti6 - sam - 27-11-2013
I think I need to soften the dampers abit as there set to stiff atm , I only drive it twice aweek now as my mate works with me, its not like insanely bouncey like contactly jumping out of my seat its just bouncey, its really hard to explain
RE: Sam's astor stanced gti6 - Midnightclub - 27-11-2013
The bounce will be the tyres.. there is probably 0% give in the suspension, so whether or not you stiffen or soften the dampers, i doubt it'll make any difference
RE: Sam's astor stanced gti6 - sam - 27-11-2013
True that
RE: Sam's astor stanced gti6 - sam - 29-11-2013

springs: 6" at 875lbs

and how its currently sat with new springs and 1 negative camber, im ineed of bigger spacers alround now just to get the wheels poking out again as Im not keen on the tucked look anymore

Those springs are mad, too much spring will kill your dampers again.

RE: Sam's astor stanced gti6 - Dum-Dum - 01-12-2013
The springs are comedy on the road seeing you follow Ian's car last night it was like being constantly being flashed by someone.
The white letters on your tyres do make them look buckled from behind.
RE: Sam's astor stanced gti6 - sam - 01-12-2013
Haha I bet id love to see what it looks like outside the car
I was thinking that when I drove through town and looked at the reflection (as you do) definitely though my wheels were bent
RE: Sam's astor stanced gti6 - Dum-Dum - 01-12-2013
Kinda made me love your car more (along with thinking its an utterly stupid car)
RE: Sam's astor stanced gti6 - sam - 01-12-2013

RE: Sam's astor stanced gti6 - Dum-Dum - 01-12-2013
