Re: My GP Reconditioned White Alloy's...

50mm on 17's all the way, no rubbing, never had a problem with humps or anything, right offset and tyre size and its easy, would have gone lower, wanted about 90 but got rid as px for GPS. That thing was more relaible sat on the floor than the shed of a sporting i have now

"silly young boy "i never said you where. it was the suspension on that 60 odd bhp punto i was referring to.as for having the same car as you refer as a shed.that will be rectified in the new year.you refer to your gp as a shed must have something to do with the smash you had they are never the same after that

The car looks cool and will look even better once you lower it but you accidentally left your "to do list" stuck to the side of the car.

my age + insurance = 60bhp car!! and it did struggle to 70mph but it was my first car and i like it lol

i know nothing about your car and the shed is wholely referring to my own. After the crash its being ok, nothing damaged at the mo is a direct result of the crash, its the pot hole on the m1 that played with the steering rack and i seem to have every single fiat 'standard' problem going!! thinking about it the brakes have started groaning when going backwards and the ciggarette lighter doesnt charge my phone anymore, or make the lighter hot, hence the shed, but it sure is a pretty shed!! witha rocking chair built in!!

Re: My GP Reconditioned White Alloy's...

40mm is a resonable drop, the ride isn't affected too much and the view of the car looks alot better. a friend had collies on his car and dropped it 120mm, that was crazy but looked smart, was about 2 inches off the floor. lol

Re: My GP Reconditioned White Alloy's...

That looks really beautiful man!I have a red GPS and i was thinking of painting them white, but now i am sure!About the lowering....i have lowered it 40 mm with H&R springs plus stainless spacers and the result is that with a third person in the car the back two tires are touching the plastic inside.

It shouldn't do? What size are the spacers??


I've had 3 in the back and never had problems on 40mm drop.
