How much do people thin I should drop on the front? Tomorrow is experiment day

Never got the LM's - sale fell through :(

Drop it so the arch is just in line with the tyre.

Take some from behind laying on the floor so we can see the width of the wheels please!

My Fab is pretty much the same as yours mate! Got some different plans for her though. Will get some pics uP soon. I'm new to the forum, had my VRS 2 months and have done a fair bit during this time. Have you got any plans for yours?

Will do tonight Luke

And pricey just painting the rim centres you got lm reps then?

Yes mine i would say is very much similar to yours, although mine has fly eyes kit and wind deflectors! I was planning on keeping the LM reps as they are i like the original finish. I was originally going to go for the open mouthed look on the car but i cant really justify spending 600 odd on a FMIC at the moment so i have decided to go down the 'Euro' path and smooth the front bumper cavity instead. Just ordered some JOM coilovers this morning as i saw they got good write ups on here! Purchased some spax lowering springs a week after i bought it in February and am less than inpressed with the ride so iv had to bite the bullet and buy these. Hopefully somebody will buy the springs on here as they are less than 2 months old! What do you reckon to your coilovers?

I am putting my flys eye back on. Or maybe lamin x. Just throughout the winter months it seemed to dim the lights a lot even my factory xenons.

Coilies seem decent. Quite bouncy but IMO I prefer them like that over how stiff the car was on eibach springs. I sold my springs in a day lol

I stupidly bought 8000K Hid kit rather than the 6000K so I needed the fly eyes to calm the glare down. Did you have to source shorter drop links for your coilies?? I'm going to post my project thread tonight!

Yes mate I did ford Mondeo ones part number - Firfdl6354 cost me £14.54 for both but that's on account so they will be more expensive I'm guessing if you haven't got a account at your local motor centre

Wheels look smart mate. What's the specs? 16" 8j et?? And tire size? Thanks.

Have you taken the rear adjusters out or is that wound down on the lowest setting?

Think wheels are 17 x 7.5 ET35 - had same ones on my Ibiza FR TDI.

His adjusters are out I think - he montioned it a page or two back.
