I collected the Angel eye headlamps just last Friday night/early hours Sat & by Saturday morning had them fitted onto the car. Managed to transfer over existing headlamp level motors, and most of it was simple plug & play.

Finally taken some pictures a week later, the dipped beams look nicer in life & have a white/blue hue to them. Plus given the car a wash again

Hey

Thanks for all your help . Its approx lowered by 65mm on the front / 50mm rear

Before





After






Field day
















I have wound the rears down a little more since taking some of the photos.
Field day photos show this.

looking at lowered pics and comparing it to a standard 9n, i'd say 80 on the front and 60 on the back
but then take off what your sport ride drop was. if it was 15, then its going to be 65 on the front and 45 on the back

offtopic, but it looks really nice!


i think the non sport models have an arch gap of

Front - 7cm
Rear - 7.5cm

Thanks to both. M7, at least I have an idea now.

I have only just finished messing about again, now 20mm left on fronts and 10mm on rear. Make that approx 70mm - 50mm. I finally have it sitting perfectly in terms of being level.

Somehow doesn't look as low in the photos. More to follow in the morning

Mines 355mm front and 335mm back, thats from the centre of the wheel to the arch lip..

According to the pictures,

I'd say your ride height is around 45mm back / 60mm front.

As your rear is not as low as when I had 50mm springs and front is only slightly lower. (I had 16's and 205/45/16 tyres then)

My FK coilovers are all the way down at the moment and i'd say they are 65mm rear and around 80-85mm front

Guys with montreal wheels, just asking if your tyre rubs against the arch on the rear left whilst turning right? I'm having problems with mine, maybe because my tyres are too big :S... my tyres are pirelli p6000 205/55/16? Wondering if any of you have same problem? thanks Dan

No rubbing on the arches at all, but I might have 205/45/16's.

yes those are correct sizes


Could you measure the height between the ground and the lowest part of the front splitter please? The car looks ace , but i duno if mine will ground to a halt in the carpark i use ...


cheers

Like i said on Sunday - looks awesome

yep didn't get a chance to say on sunday, but ur car looks awesome!!

Cheers for the nice things said.

carmadaaron, the lowest part on the splitter from the ground is 3 1/4 " inch, and the engine under tray has even less clearance. Touch wood it goes over all humps just fine, pot holes are always avoided though, it'll probably get stuck looking at some I've seen

Just fitted some new lamps

looking very nice - is that the votex kit on your car? really like it on the silver too - something I never thought I'd consider!

Certainly is, mostly I've only had black cars...so went for silver for a nice change.
