Phase Win 6

[Grant]

I've had 4 306's now and I've never managed to break a drop link!

Car looks good though, well done mate

You're obviously not driving low and hard enough/have an estate that is capable of neither :p

Ive done about 3 now if it makes you feel any better Vaughan

[Jonny81191]

That's the thing, I'm lowered 60mm and believe me when I say I do drive hard..

Ah well, probably cursed myself now

[Scott]

Looking forward to the "just managed to snap both droplinks" thread by the end of the weekend

Northern hard driving is different to proper hard driving.

We have less weight as there are no stolen goods in the trunk

[Niall]

Adjustable DLs needed. They make a epic difference when set up correctly

Ask Fooby about my driving

Dude ive seen how you drive. My nan takes corners with more LOOS than you!

[Grant]

And her piss has more G-force than your car experiences :p

[Jonny81191]

Yep, That's me!

Sunday Driver FTW!

And the droplink suffered it's death when I came across a rather large pothole at 50ish, fairly sure my spine is never going to sit right again!

Stephen came over last week and we fit my lower strut brace, the difference is amazing!

We then took a drive up to Max's in Harting

And gave it a wash this evening

I've given up even trying to keep the wheels clean..

[ginge191]

handles soooo well

[Grant]

Anything would compared to your shed

















:p love you really

[SKoob]

How you finding it on a car that low? Does it scrape on speed bumps etc...?

Actually fine to be honest. Scraped it once trying to park half on the road half on the curb as I had little choice, other than that it's been great! Makes such a difference to the drive too - was very surprised, as I've had just an upper brace on prior to that and make very little difference to the drive!

[SKoob]

Sounds good. I'm tempted to go for both upper and lower braces and my car will be lowered by about 60/70mm so good to know it shouldn't scrape much and its worth the hassle of fitting

[Ed Doe]

Looks beautiful vaughan. Keep up the good work polishing it!

[Just Sean]

Looks awesome!

Love my lower strut too!!

I can't remember if I ran it at combe... WO det how much difference it'll make on track!

Need to get the upper brace on!

[strictly_perv]

Looks epic Vaugh. We can be felt spec ph1 fwends!

[vlj]

Now sporting Bilstein B8s/Eibach springs!

[Dum-Dum]

Needs lowered

[Niall]

Hope they do you well man. They made such a huge difference to mine!

[Grant]

Thats horrific arch gap. You could hide a pack of nuns in there!

[Niall]

Yeah it is pretty terrible. How comes its so bad Vaughan? They are in the hubs all the way right? Or is it just that you have no pinchbolt on the drivers side so its basically fallen out? :p

[Grant]

Zip tied the pinch bolt holes IIRC

[vlj]

No its all located in. Need to raise the beam as the back end is extremely tail happy now

[Dum-Dum]

Surely raising the beam will make it even more tail happy as there will be less weight on the back of the car

[Grant]

Or just lower it properly

[vlj]

Surely raising the beam will make it even more tail happy as there will be less weight on the back of the car

I don't lower the beam by putting weight in the boot...

Lol is that serious?
By having it that low at the back, you are increasing positive castor. Not always good. He has probably gone up about 30mm in ride height. Bet thats a substantial difference in castor.
