It won't roll so much, but will be bumpier!

bet the wife wont be to happy soon enough . :D

[dizzy4528]

ive got to be honest the ride feels about the same to me , although body roll and cornering are both much improved. our lasses last car was a astra estate , so any type of suspension hard or soft would be an improvement over that pile of sh**e she used to drive.only trouble now is she wants the front and rear bumpers colour coding, will post more pics when i get it done for her

Oh dear and the modding bug begins!

i think i know where you live

Glasshoughton right?

I guess you didn't notice much difference as you already had 17's on there. I lowered mine whilst still on 15's, then noticed more of a bumpier ride when I got 215/40/17s.

BUMPERS:

Make sure you get it 2-pack primed and flattened before painting. That way you'll get a smooth finish.

If you just prime and spray without flattening, you'll get the dimples of the bumper come through, and it will look crap!

No problem.. good luck with it!

looks amazing..

I am trying to source those alloys for my 1.8Gs Avensis.

Then definitly a 30mm drop after seeing that.

One thing tho, is it likely to catch say if the car is full of people and the boot is full?

[purvesh81]

Simply put, No..

[Gregg]

Excellent :D

[dizzy4528]

hi got to agree with purvesh81, the wife and me did over 250 miles last week fully laden with luggage and two kids and the suspension was excellent,no bottoming out or pothole crashes

[Gregg]

Cheers for the information Guys.
