vtec2011 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Surprised that scrapes mate. But great work I still haven't taken a photo of it! Cheers bud On the bright side, you have a nice drag racer stance now. Haha! Isn't safe going around corners hard. The rear end makes me feel a bit nervous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Some updates! I am getting use to the ride comfort with the springs on but I tell you what, I am a bit sketchy driving around corners... With the standard springs, I can drive around this corner everyday at 50mph with a bit of body roll. Since fitting the front lowering springs, there is less body roll but the car just goes straight on, won't turn into the corner! I now have to drive around this corner at 40mph. It just seem to be understeering too easily. Maybe the standard springs on the rear causing this? Oh yes I have cleaned up the WEDS Farmas wheels and they came up very nice!! I used paint stripper to remove the black paint and gave a proper clean! Just got to sort out the lacquer on the rims From this.... To this!! A couple random photos of the M with a smile on her... To be honest I want to go lower..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Ah I thought that might be... I cannot believe the difference it makes though! I'm all new to the suspension modding side of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Get the rear down and the ballance will come back. Yeah I'm on a mission to get the rear end down! Keeping my eyes out for cheap rear standard EG springs as the lowered rear EG springs were far too short Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Shame I've binned those springs I offered. The rears would be spot on for you.What a great job you done on the wheels mate. Wish I was brave enough to paint stuff like that. Too impatient I'd mess up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I was brave enough to paint stuff like that. Too impatient I'd mess up Ah sh!t I forgot you had those springs! Oh well... my loss It was very easy! All 4 wheels took me 90 minutes to remove the paint with paint stripper. As soon as you apply the stripper, you see the paint already starts to bubble up. Gave it a quick brush down and then pressure washed it bloody hell the wheels didn't half come up gd Haha thanks man First time I have done it too. There are a few heavy scuffs and lacquer peeling though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Great job on the wheels mate! Hope you manage to sort some springs out soon, amazing what difference seemingly small things can make! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Brown Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 The man been busy busy !!! Rims are looking sweet., really looking forward to seeing the finished product fitted... Must be gutting upgrading your suspension and having to go backwards before moving forwards but you will get it sorted soon, then you will forget that it was ever any different and smile as you point her into each corner.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
