My mate gave me some 35mm Nova springs tonight. So we fitted them , Looks alright though, and will do nicely until I can afford shocks and springs!

EDIT: Added Decent Pics

Images from when I first got the car:



Put the wheels on:


Lowered it :



And finally, So you can see the difference:




Just got a few more jobs to do before PVS now Tracking, Hammerite rear drums and get interior professionally cleaned

i never really understood how some cars need tracking after lowering, some dont... mine didnt, but mark suttons and joffs both did

doesnt make sense, we stuck the tracking guages on at work after i fitted my konis and it was fine, whereas marks was visibly out

I like the Vegas badge there, as people know what it is . I'm going to have the tracking sorted out tomorrow. Cheers for the reminder, I was none the wiser until my mate told me earlier.

New pics added

makes quite a noticeable difference when the tyres have 'shine' on them IMO.

this pic: 'Put the wheels on:' they look nice.

Possibly due to you fitting konis

Joff being a tight bastard and fitting cheap shite

and mark fitting a different brand



might also come down to who fitted them

looks good, colour code the plastics and it will look even better.

what make springs were they? ive got some 40mm spax nova springs to fit on my corsa, didnt think the difference in nova/corsa springs made such a difference

I think it's dropped about 50mm. The gap between my standard arches and the tyre was 60mm Now it's less than 10mm Visable

Aye. Got rid of all the badges though, thought iy looked better without. Nope, spoiler went with the car like the rest of the stuff. The people who bought it new payed about £350 for the spoiler .
