FK Konigsport coilies dropped about 50mm (estimated) with Keskin KT1 16" x 7.5" ET20 alloys and a 195/45/16 tyre! I'm in love with her again!

Had a bit of a measure up today now that the suspension has settled! and the front needs to come down 10mm to match the rear! shame!
Hopefully will still get onto my drive!
and, i think some 20mm spacers would go a long way on the rears!
which, in theory, would make the offset of the rear wheels ET0!
Current work to the car is keeping the wheels clean and wiring up the sub, which is suprisingly difficult when you have extremely limited tools as i haven't been able to get my tools down to soton yet!

Very nice Doug!!! Looks absolutley great, those alloys really suit the car.
From the pictures it looks like the back needs to come down more, not the front!

nah definitly the front! Dont forget, the car hadn't settled when those pictures were taken!
if i wanted to get the sill parallel with the ground then yeah, the back would need to come down, but i'm measuring from wheel centre to arch top so i get the same arch clearance front and rear. will give the car a more racey/drag look by having the front end pointing slightly downward emphasised by the sills!

20mm wheel spacers for the rear now on order! Hopefully will be on for spring festival!
Oh, and the sub is now all wired in!
