KrisB's 4-0-Five

Hey guys, hope everyone's well?

Not been online for a while, been absoloutely off my feet, my website even went down (bandwith issues) and i didn't notice!

Well, to carry on from the last post, and update the thread, quite a bit (actually) the car passed it's MOT with flying colours, once it had the MOT i had the tracking done.



The other day I had a visit from KwiK, who i've struck a deal with on these wheels which i'm now running.



So, the ride height, that just looks epicly shit. So after a phonecall and the go-ahead I got round to LOWERING the car. Capital lowering, it was needed!

Now, i wasn't going to even entertain the idea of looking for lowering springs for this. So what i did was use a pair of GTi6 shocks and some -35mm apex springs from a HDi. The shocks themselves give an extra inch drop.

405 v GTi6 shocks.



Apex -35mm v Standard 405



The end result... -70mm front and Torsion bar to -80mm.



Whilst doing the rear i noticed a wheel cylinder was leaking so got a pair of them and fitted them in under 10mins. Loving the brand spanker rear brakes that came with the brakes. Could do with new shoes on this side though.





And some general picture whoring.











Thanks
