Apparently Weitec are supposed to be awesome handling kits for the money, akin to some adjustable kits. You'll have to share what you think of them once you've had them on for a while!

What drop have you got? I'm hopefully doing mine soon!

well these are the fully adjustable ones, theres the ones with just the adjustable front shocks and non adjustable rears and ones with fully adjustable front and rear (the ones ive got) so i think they will offer about 30-80mm of lowering both ends. Ive heard they are amazing too, thats why i bought them. these are the Â£500 Hicon GT's, so im bloody hoping they are good hehe

A lot of dough, tho' the driving experience will hopefully reward the outlay!

yeah, lets hope so! lol i was originally thinking of cheaper ones, but i fancied something that was going to last, these are zink plated so they dont corrode to the height you first set them at, which is essensial for me as its going to be a few months until i get my new wheels...
i was going to get some AP ones, which are zink plated, but half the price, but venommotorsport are having trouble suppying the ones for the 6n pol, so i got these instead

Its an investment that should reward you with pin sharp handling. Plus if you sell the car, you can put the standard suspension back on & get something back, can't really do that with cheaper makes!!!

yeah thats what i had in mind aswell, if i keep them in good nick and keep the packaging etc then they should keep their value reasonably well

Those a pretty cool, be sure to post some pictures up when they are fitted. How much did the set you back and whats the exact model?

yeah dont worry dude ill get some fitted pics up, might even take some of the fitting, but there are plenty of guides up on here... they are GT Hicons, which are the first model in the Weitec range to feature fully adjustable rears aswell as fronts.
They are Â£475 from venommotorsport, which is where i got them from.

Damn people and lowering cars.

I'm so going lower... lol The ATS Cups have to go... i need 13's

Rupie · Post by **Rupie** » Mon Sep 01, 2008 12:24 am

haha, yours looks sweet how it is mate, im after some 13" steelies but your ATS's look really good:) IMO theres a fine link between silly low and keeping it drivable, although it looks amazing fully decked, theres not alota point unless you can still drive it daily... Around york are some of the worst speedbumps ever too... you know the sort, four feet tall with the face crumbling off, practically like driving up a 8" curb head on

not gooood.

It's most definitely the first thing you should do
