discount tyres dan Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 i know i cant prove anything here but about 8 years ago i bought a beige mark3 escort, i fitted some xr2 pepper-pop alloys and painted it yellow (it was custodised) iwent out and bought some lowering springs and fitted them but it wasnt low enough, i went a bit mad and took the srings out and cut them in half and refitted them, resulting in a 5 inch drop (125mm lower), if i knew then what i know now about suspention i wouldnt of done this. i bent the whole car, it was a 4 door escort and after just a few months the top of the doors were over-lapping and the bottom had a gap of about 8 or 9mm!! the top of the 185/60x13's were hidden up in the arches, looked great but i killed it, i would only advise fitting springs and dampers that are made for specific makes and models.

MacRS200 Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Measured from the inside of the arch to the centre of the wheel cap (mm) Is that bending the tape over the tyre or do you mean from the top of the arch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
