Sams astor 6 new shoes!!

[Tom]

Those springs are maaaad.

f*cking cool though!

[Ricky]

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?

[Midnightclub]

IMO something like 400lb springs would've still done the job but it at least would have had some damping effect

[Craigus]

Mental haha dash must rattle itself to bits

[sam]

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

[Midnightclub]

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

[sam]

True that

[sam]

couple of pictures:

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

the rear windowa are now on hold untill the summer now

and my mate put this on my wall on fb which made me giggle

[puglove]

Monster trucking!

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

Could you get the front arch to the rim do you think?

[Seid']

[sam]

[rd070707]

Makes me consider staying with 17s so I can get the arch flush with the rim

[sam]

I can if I get smaller springs dude

[Seid']

Or take out the "T" of back the coilover.

Like i gonna do with mines.

[sam]

Na more camber and spacers shoul do it

[Dum-Dum]

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.

[sam]

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

[Dum-Dum]

Kinda made me love your car more (along with thinking its an utterly stupid car)

[sam]

Its a love hate thing with me I love my 6 but I really cant bloody stand it sometimes

[Dum-Dum]

^^ the best cars are like that.

I couldnt stand owning some soul less german box that I just couldnt give a damn weather I owned it or not.

[sam]

Haha yeah well in the new year going on the hunt for a astor 3 door hdi for a daily as I cant drive this daily now
