Are the rear adjusters out? And are the helpers going to be out on the front?o

Looks good

Na rear adjusters are in

And cheers

You know what to do then ahah

Na haha gonna let them settle for a bit, first though is to fit the fronts! Now I can see the big hype about lows..never really felt it before, but literly wanna get it slammed haha

Well they are lupo Coilovers? Helpers out the front and adjusters out the back. Then it's "slammed" - but will ride like crap, unless you shorten the bump stops a little.

Low and then there's low!!

Dont go too low My mate wa litrally fully down on his minilights.. Drove so horrid lol .

Camber, and arb mounts just bottoming out lol..

Nice set of wheels and reasonable drop .. Can have a nice ride and utilise the handling then :)

Cant wait to get half decent set up on mine XD

I'm gonna be getting 14s or 15s so shouldn't bottoming out And tbh it's gonna be a daily so might just have to keep it at this height

i may have got a good set of front coilovers if u dont want to go mad lows but still want ride comfort..

Want a fair bit tho lol

Bilstien b16 coilovers, adjustable damping pss9 shock.

I bought them as a set but only using rears now :)

Research them :)

I've got some ap coilys thanks

But you want the upgradingz adjustable dampaningzzzzzzzz .

Pm me your best price, I don't really want them haha I spent £400 on these..

Car currently looks like this

Got the driveshafts off ect and got the gearbox out to do clutch

Old clutch

New clutch

Turned out the release bearing was fucked, like really fucked haha and so was the sleeve, so I've ordered a sleeve for release bearing, should come monday with my top mounts

So while I'm waiting I've changed gearbox oil, and when at work during break sandblasted the calipers and holders and got some red paint to go on them

And mid progress

Should be all painted ect on the weekend and just hoping it doesnt snow as i wanted to sort the car out

I've herd of a lad that owns a lupo, fitted jom's helpers and adjusters out and smashed his subframe off a pot whole he was that low. Needed a new subframe it corsed that much damage - aha

Haha lol as i said ill probs keep adjusters in as I need it as a daily
