Well matt humphries charge extortionate prices from what ive seen so might go for Apex which are fairly cheap but still a well known brand. Just pretty annoyed ive wasted £50 on shocks and springs and know ill probably never end up selling them.

I am an idiot. Why i didn't check this before is beyond me. Oh yes because im an idiot. Just rang my insurance. For those of you that have read everythign ive been writing i have two options to choose from. Lowering less than 5cm, or lowering more than 5cm. I can't lower it more than 5cm as it...

Nope i like the wiper! may change them to flatter ones but i dont see why so many people dewiper the rear. I like where it parks and i use it a fair bit to wipe the rear window obviously! Also not keen on those LED lights if that's what you meant, but if i can find some all red ones it'll be...

Took this at Tesco earlier, bear in mind its slightly uphill towards my car, always had a feeling mine seemed a little bit lower than normal. Although i suppose the white one is pre facelift. Also adjustable panhard rod bushes came today in case of any axle shift when it goes a bit lower Oh...

So i fitted my new sidelights and foglight bulbs. The foglights are absolute bastards to get back in and theyre still not in properly ive just managed to wedge them in place without the bulbs disconnecting (finally). Sidelights look quite good lit up but in the day the blue bulb makes the...

With fubared bearings!

MOAR. Also 2nd pic from bottom... I want that grille

Starting to hate this car already. Right so got home form work and thought right ill have a look at the drivers side foglight. Someone on here mentioned raching up underneath but that wasnt happening. SO went to get the rachet and sockets as there's 2 bolts on the front next to it. Anyway on...

Might go for them then but 32mm is bloody pushing it!

Hmm very tempted, are they the right screw lengths etc? The threaded part doesnt look like it'd fit a wheel and a nut on

Will do, although went out and measured, 45mm drop is still gonna leave some arch gap :( if the tyres were a higher profile it'd maybe look a bit better :/ will still inprove it from what its at now anyway!

Thanks mate. Regarding springs dont take this for gospel but i think the rear springs are bigger than the fonts so matiz ones wouldnt seat properly in the rear. For the rear im getting corsa b shocks that are shorter than the micra ones, and cutting the micra springs, the shorter shocks keep the...

2x Matiz springs purchased - £25

Just thought the extenders arent going to be torqued up properly if the hexagonal parts need to line up right? Wouldnt this mess alignment up etc.?

Just had a look at these, look like a good solution. Although it doesn't say how thick they are? Have you used them before and are they any good?

Yeah no worries mate, but i wouldn't have had the tyres stretched so much if i wasn't going to poke them out a lot ;) I don't like settling for something mediocre, i want it to look hot. But yeah i agree im going to concentrate on lowering it for the minute then see hwo things play out. Need to...

Well 40mm means i cant fit 30mm hubcentric spacers without cutting the studs

Grrr.

In a nutshell... yeah. Depends how wide the wheels are, if you have skinny wheels with a low et and you're poking them then there'll be a lot fo stretch, but if you have thicker wheels with a higher et it wont be so bad as there will be more of the rim towards the hub... if that makes sense :p

Well i went and measured and im gonna want 30mm spacers to get maximum poke. So ill take one of the rear wheels off and measure the studs, will they need to be exactly 30 or under to fit the hubcentric type spacers?
