  1. Sounds good! Say i wanted to lower the ride height when they are on how would i know when to stop winding the shock down, or how much pressure they should have on them? Does that make sense? I have a scorpion on the way which will be mated to my motordyne xyz pipe so its all go for me to, hope its not to loud!
  2. I had a clio 172 cup with 190bhp and a set of coilovers on and that thing was amazing i was 100% in love with it, very very good cars. This little car would really wipe the smile from alot of "fasts" cars ! Unfortunatley i crashed it ( not doing anything stupid i might add) and my wife almost lost her foot because of it
  3. That looks good man! That is low at the front I have looked at the bc instructions and wandered how you get them set up? Are they pre set and then if you want them lower you measure each and wined down the shock and spring together?
  4. Thanks ruddles , yes i quizzed you about your coilovers and now have a set ready to go on! Cant wait! I think i will put the coilovers on and go from there. Any chance of putting up a few more pics of yours ? Have you had the alignment done yet?
  5. Hi just after anyone who has done this. I was thinking about getting a set of wheels for the zed but at the moment cant justify it as i have just bought new tyres and had the rays done in gloss black. I am running 20mm spacers front and 25mm rear already and have a set of bc coilover to go on. I will be lowering about 10mm at the front and 25mm at the back and would love to have that "fat" stance that 30mm spacers would give, but would i need to have the arches rolled and even after that would that be enough? Also would running 30mm spacers on the rear have any negative effect on the cars suspension or bearings? And last of all where can i get a set of 30mm spacers from? Thanks for any help
  6. Any chance of a pic to see what it looks like.......
  7. I have been in a few clio v6 255 bhp ones and i was not that impressed really , engine sounded nice but the zed ( i have a 313 bhp model ) felt quicker to me. They are also more expensive to run and maintain than the zed , speaking to a few clio v6 owners. ...... but they do look bonkers , a proper nutty car! I would say the zed is way ahead of the clio in pretty much all areas
  8. Could i do this to my 57 zed as i would like my biting point to be an inch lower. Clutch is all fine just seems to bite a little to high for me.........
  9. I had a quote for this to be done to my front bumper but as i can get the bumper resprayed for 150 i didnt bother as they wanted 220 for the armour stuff.
  10. Ya it would but thats not the point , get on to the council and complain!
  11. My bad dude looked like cheap crap
  12. Demolition- what tyres you got on the back
  13. My thoughts were i have spend 16k on the car whats an extra £5 to fill up with the best drink for it!
  14. Anyone around southampton area??????........
  15. Did you go for a mines lip in the end dude? Any chance of putting a pic up
  16. Also on your sig you now have a mines carbon splitter! Any chance of a pic? I am also after a splitter but so many about and most look pants! Do show
  17. This is still forsale as i thought it was the one i wanted but its not!
  18. I will take that mate! Please send me a pm to how you want payment, thanks
  19. How did you get on with your alignment mate?
  20. Oh poo cant make that as its our anniversary! Dont think amy would be to pleased
  21. This is what worries me about just slapping a set of springs on. I wont know if i need all the other stuff until its all on, and if i do need arms/bolts it will work out more money than putting coilovers on and running them slightly higher! I am not really after the car to handle any better as i feel for me it is good enough but just want to lower 10mm at the front and 25mm at the rear to just get that stance. AAAAAAAHHHHHHH
  22. No not too far sounds good, thanks for that Do you know whats date it will be on?
  23. where are the chillies? Sounds good though
  24. So if i were to go the cheap option and just fit eibach pros on i shouldnt need to get any arms/correcting stuff?
  25. Hi everyone hope your having a good day! I am really after people who live in the southampton/ hampshire area who are running coilovers. I am wanting to buy a set and its doing my head in which ones to get. I have bought coilovers befor and some have been amazing where as others have just made the car plain horrible to drive. I am really wanting to meet up with a few who are running coilovers on there zed so i can see/feel for my self what they are like. I am looking at the bc/kw/eibach/bilstein coilovers but whatever you have i would love to see what they are like. Thanks again for all the info and help people have given me on this forum,has to be one of the most helpful sites i have been on
