Thats how I'd like mine to sit, perfect height

Being as Monsters going for coilies he'll be able to play about with the height etc until he gets it how he likes it.

Will the new brocade be at PVS?

i think my old brocade yellow corsa sat very well

and that was lowered on coilovers it was about 60mm all around i dont think it need to be really low to look good

im keeping a close eye on this one, the alloy colour of yours is simlar to what mine was

keep the updates coming

Will do Andy

Your old Brocader sots nice, but me personally would want another 10mm atleast on the back..

im sure with 45s you will be ok, as you will be on coilovers aswell you can easily set it so its just above the tyre, then just invest in 40 profiles when you need new tyres..

also on the corsas you can modify the arches very easy, (knock them out and trim them down, and bond the arches on) you wont notice the difference by looking at it but you will get a lot more clearance and be able to slighly tuck the front tyres..

hope that helps mate..

Good idea

But what I don't understand is why Sean said 60mm is limit with Sofstars, as yourself has gone 100mm rear with no probelms! Unless he just means the front?

Few little updates, fitted my pipercross filter today -

Before -

After -

Thanks to J200RSA for the filter

Next, I removed my 'Sport' badges of the side -

And that's it for the moment

The coilovers have been put on hold for a while as the Wench wants to go on holiday. How selfish is that?
