By "some people" if your going by forum threads about it, then its me lol. They do my head in, i wish i'd have gotten Eibachs on mine. However, i cant complain about the increase in handling, body roll is all but gone

Also, next thing you should do: colour code the handles, and get rid of those rubbing strips, they dont look good, and they dont protect the car either......they are useless.

oo lol yeah i would agree with the side strips and i am planning to spray handles after cam and re-map

yeah i does handle a lot better i love it never been bothered about ride comfy had a 106 rallye before this so its still better than that lol

Looks nice mate.

Yeah me and Mark are the main offenders with the Pi's lol

I like mine

Why are your handles not colour coded already :S

lol all in due time got plenty more to do to her yet but going hoilday with missus soon so i gotta wait till after that then handles side strips rear end back out again new exhusts and cams :slayer:

How would you colour code the handles and mirrors, just paint them?

Its best to get them properly sprayed up.

Rich

yup i know a bloke with a body shop so ill ask him should not cost to much

looks nice..........doesnt actually look that low tho considering you say its got a 40mm drop on it

when wer those pics taken after its settled in? as it looks like it still needs lowering.

I've noticed on my Active the non-coloured handles and mirrors are black but rough texture, or rougher than the body of the car, if I got them sprayed would they be metallic black but still textured? Or completely smooth like the body?

Thanks

Poor springs...they only say a drop of between 25-40mm so it may only be a 25mm drop he has got.

Yeah, mine looks a lil lower than this, but the people who've dropped on Eibachs appear to have a bigger drop.

yeah that was right after the springs were fitted so it has settled down a bit more now i dont think it has gone down on a 40mm drop but to be honest i think its about right dont think id have it much lower maybe a little bit but i like the way it handles in the corner cause unlike most the spring wasnt not fitted for plan looks it was for the handling cause i gotta big plans for this car in time witch are all abit undercover at the mo but well ill give u one clue track beast lol :slayer:

then y didnt u save for coilovers?

cause im a tight ass lol coilovers are good but im not a big fan had a set on my old rallye and found me self changeing the set up every week and every trackday but the thing is if u turn it to much and the dampers go to soft u end up having some hairy moments in the corners so i found stiffer springs and uprated dampers worked best for me but every has there own exprince to go with and that just mine most people will tell u otherwise and coilovers are great but just not for me

hope that makes sense lol
