Got up at 9am to go to Ford to get this little lot x2 (2 x 12.5 mm axle spacers and 8x 45mm bolts)



Pic of them in situ fitted (dont talk to me about fucking abs sensors)



Whilst the wheels were off gave my calipers and rear drums another coat of paint



Whilst the paint was drying i gave my wheels 2 coats of Jetseal109



Close up of the finish if anyone isnt sure about the finish of a decent powdercoat



Then pics of the car with the 2.5cms wider rear track



bought a boot riser off ebay, you can make it out in this pic, gives the car added downforce

nice

lowered a little would be nice (front lower then the rear)

those spacers added a little camber or is it just me?

probably have added a little camber, i think its sat about right, is on a slope so wont sit quite as it should, also front end slightly lower on a fwd car is better for handling, i know what your like about your lowness though

might tinker with the coilover height again though, maybe

im not always crazy about lows

i think 20mm lower on the front and 10mm lower on the rear would make a lot of difference to how it looks (for the better) that agressive look..

there is quite a bit of difference in the flesh, pics generally dont show this sort of stuff up that well.

dont know about handling, its meant to make a fair bit of difference, the axle spacers are what the frp's use anyway so cant be a bad move lol
