Didnt handle too well on just Apex springs and 17s. Much improved with the Bilstein setup. I had PAS yeah but with 17's it didnt feel like it:P | |

Those pics were with Apex 40mm springs. I changed them for bilstein shock/springs so it sat lower and handled better. | |

my shocks are quite high as std, my mum had a 5 door whick h is a 98 merit 1.4, i'd say on that car its about 40mm lower than mine as std, but its still soft and bouncy so 17s wouldnt even go on it coz its bouncy so wud rub on corners and everything, but i have a good 3 / 4 cm clearence from the top of my tyre to the outer arch trim , on the back anyways, not tried a wheel on the front yet | |

i have 17s on a 5dr lowerd , about to put on -40mm springs, original dampers, the wheels are masitaly vt5, would like to know which arch mods i should carry out. dont want the wheels to rub, theres a bit of wight with MDF in the boot from my build, and i'd like to get at least 2 ppl in the back and its not going to rub, and is it ok to take out the front inner arch, without the engine fucking up with all the dirt getting up, or do i not need to take it out, all help would be appreciated i have no clue where to start :0 |
