AndreWilk 1 Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Had a GMAC kit fitted and am really pleased with the results. Lowers the car for asthetics but still leaves a ride you can live with every day. There are more mods to come so watch this space. Link to post Share on other sites

The_0ne 0 Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Yeah also loving them rims, are they a straight fit or do you need spacers or anything?btw cars sitting nice now Link to post Share on other sites
AndreWilk 1 Posted August 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Thanks for the comments guys.The_One it needs a 30mm spacer but I might fit a 25mm ones if they rub on the arches, should be all right as have rolled the inner lip a bit on the backs. You're on coilovers aren't you? Would have liked to that but whated an easier ride for everyday use. Link to post Share on other sites

goonersteve 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Lookin good Wilko Were you riding on stock suspension before? Link to post Share on other sites
AndreWilk 1 Posted August 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Yeah was on original gear and looked ridiculous especially when I put the new rims on before it was lowered looked like a scared cat! Loving it now though, got some exterior mods on the way eg lights and debadged grill. Not sure what to do with the engine though, which exhaust?, air filter or not? etc. Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Now them rims would look good on mine....and clear the brakes, I assume they are 17s Link to post Share on other sites
AndreWilk 1 Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 That is correct Craggsy 17's with a 30mm spacer and approx a 40mm drop. I think they look the nuts and don't see many about imo, just need to get some porsche centre caps for them now. Link to post Share on other sites
The_0ne 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 After just having another look they are replica rims rather than genuine arent they?Cause 996 porka rims are 8inch on the front and 9inch on the rear!!Theres a set of 996 turbo replica rims on ebay in 17"s 7.5inch wide going for about £300 just need a refurb Link to post Share on other sites
