Come on, you both know silver 5dr's are the quickest

, particularly with the gazillion horsepower mine's putting out with that giant turbo from that other thread.
Sorry for hijacking your thread here. How on earth do you get the fronts struts off and what do you use to spread the thing to get it out?

Here we go then people, more progress today i think you may like

.
So ive keept the wheels quiet until now but im fitting them with the coilovers, there RH ZW1's 17"x8" splits with staggered offsets so the rears stick out slightly further

. The centres are painted some ford grey colour with polished dishes. These have been sitting in my room for a long time so the lips have been metal polished using meguires when i got bored lol.
Here we go anyway, first up a pik of before
Then the rear was fitted and lowered onto the wheels

(pik was straight after lowering the jack so will setle)
The front was then fitted this morning and again set up to my wheels, which will setle again.
Then i drove it of the blocks to see me final stance

I am rele happy with it.
Then heres just some other piks for now as the sun was out, as you can see im not a camera pro lol
Im rele happy with it now, and its all done for its first show, Modified Nationals at the weekend

The stance looks spot on!
Any more mods planned?

Cheers

The wheels are RH ZW1's 17" by 8" all round. If i remember right the front offsets are ET 35 with the rear on 30mm adapters (ET 60 wheels) giving me overall offset of ET 30.
The coilies are just the cheap ones off ebay, hot tuning (for now)
Rele loving it thow just came back from a show where it got alot of attention

Nice, I was looking at these wheels on dubmeister. Did someone get them painted that colour as custom? Never seen them any colour other than silver
