My 17" Team Dynamics were sold months ago, so I could replace them with much lighter 16" Rota Slipstreams. But the stock wheels are back on for winter, as the 1st load of grit was laid down 2 nights ago :wink:
Okay, I guess this thread could go in a few different places but I'll start it here as it's mainly pics anyway. With Spring here in a big way, the Rotas are back on after repainting the brake calipers & the BC coilovers fitted at last. Here's the pics ;
Initial fit was WAY too low :lol:
So I raised it 15mm at the rear & 8mm at the front ;
Then fitted the Rotas with a further 5mm lift at the front;
Outside;
Some more;
Plus the coilies of course;
Ride quality is impressive with the front set at 10 out of 30 & the rears at 15. Handling is MUCH improved !

Thanks for all your comments guys, I feel the car is better now than ever.
As much as I would like to go a touch lower, it makes a lot of noises if I do - exhaust would foul the rear beam on every bump, front creaks going over any bumps, steering feels a bit corrupted, etc. So at the present height it still looks & handles better, without any of those issues. Went over 2 speedbumps yesterday & it was fine, can even get in & out of the local multi-storey ! :thumb:
