I like how much is lowered your car and your rims too.
what size are they?

Tate · Post by **Tate** » Thu Sep 18, 2008 6:43 pm

The car is lowered about -60mm from front and back. Rims are 15" and tyres are 195/50/15 (Nangkang NS2.. The first and the last Nangkang tyres in my cars. They suck!)

Sweet

I think it look very good with this much lowering.

I`ve been thinking about SPAX kit myself. How is does it drive with this kit? Bumpy?
Do you still have original brakecalipers with the TarOx discs?

Keep up the good work

Hi all!

I finally updated my homepage www.vihree.net

I have bought already some new nice parts for summer 2009 like Sparco seats... Ouh I love them so much, they are so sporty

jsf: Spax set is very good to drive and you can adjust how bumpy it is because its adjustable. Im very satisfied for it, very good price/quality.

Yes, I have orginal brakecalibers! Those Tarox discs and ferodo pads made the car so much different in the track that HUH..! You can drive, drive, drive, drive....driv.... All day long in the track and no problems with brakes

Just checked the story on your site.
Glad to read you re-converted the engine and no more turbo

that's just overkill..
Compared to the first photo's in this thread, she now looks PERFECT!

I guess SPAX can be quite hard suspension for daily use but it controls the car so much better.
Pitty to hear you will be putting Sparco's in there. Originals do give it so much more character. Maybe you should consider putting in Alpina seats..
Keep this one in shape, it's a stunner!

I dont know where people get their information that SPAX is hard? Mine is adjustable so it can be so soft that you wouldnt even think that there is some suspension kit. But it can also be so HARD that your teeth are in danger. It all depeds on how hard you want it to be.

I put Sparcos only for one reason. And its because I´m really tired hanging in the steeringwheel when driving corners in street&track. In trackdays I have so "much" g-force in corners that is almost dangerous to drive with orginal seats, because I have to lean in the door etc. Not nice at all. Now I put good seats there and I can focus in the most important thing -> driving.

Thanks for the comments! And by the way.. I´m keeping orginal seats if I decide change them back..
