Special K 81 0 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 not to hand but i will say lame in my opinion,lol my is standard right now, hopefully not for long. Fri i was waiting at a set of lightscar in front flashed a waiting car out of junction next car to want to come out was a red mk3 gti(skater type boy driving...suppose what ppl class as stereotypical dubber!?! i dunno.lol) anyway he was lowered i was, i waved him out with a come be quick gesture, he pulled out i tagged along, it looks soo much better slammed,again imo. We joined the dual carriageway he floored it down the slip road i just stayed with him till we exited the slip road ave him a nod and blew him away. Satisfied, but still jelous off the look of his.lol At the next roundabout heavy traffic he appeared some 2 - 3mins later, gave a nod of "'fair play ol' chum", i shouted to him how low your riding, about 90mm lower he replied. I told him i planned to drop mine this wkend dunno how low to go,...his answer "till it rubs dude!"...proper dubber ah. I looked in my mirror at my coilies on the back seat i just collected and thought got to have me some of that sh!t.lol Link to post Share on other sites

DanH 1 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 check ur not riding on the bump stops....that will make it bumpy as hell. mine was horrible but some bumpstop 'mods' and its better. still pretty bad at this height thour car looks nice dropped. im a massive fan of standard equipment....not to fussed on aftermarket wheels at all. sprayed mine black, as u can see below, and hated it. recently sprayed them silver again and it looks a whole better car. standard look cars but with a healthy drop are the way forwards imo!

Ian_rogers 0 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Not sure what the drop is, just kept goin lower till it looked good :-) and the mudflaps were neon removed anyway (not a fan of them)Yeah I like the OE wheels but their in serious need of refurb so bought something a lil different instead ;-)For utlimate looks on the standard wheels I think some spacers would work wonders, just so they don't look too lost in the arches Link to post Share on other sites
