18s

[oz_borne]

Were you happy with your car sat on normal springs and 18s?

i'm buying Team dynamics 18inch pro race 1.2 in black with blue rim, and can't decide if i'm gonna whack them on and then wish it was lower.... have a splitter, so don't think i can go much lower...

discuss....

what car have you got?????

 

[oz_borne]

leon cupra

 

[james walker]

it will sit a little high not lowered and handle a little pants...

what splitter do you have? lcr, if so it can be lowered mate, im lowered 30mm and its fine tbh

 

[oz_borne]

that's what i was thinking.....cost all in?

i was surprised the tema dynamics are only 660?!?!

 

[james walker]

depends what you want, koni fsd with eibach springs are the better option, all in 500quid

coilovers, bit more, 600 quid

shocks and springs, budget 200 quid.

again depends what you want but budget also for top mounts 20quid, 4 wheel alignement, 50 quid

can i ask what will sound a really think question so im sorry.... but what do you mean top mounts, are there uprated ones when you have lowered your car for eg'

 

[Lodgey180]

you have to take the top mounts off when lowering it mate so for the price of the bits it is best to change them as they will be getting worn

 

[oz_borne]

True i did it on my saxo.

any pics anywhere?

i have a 2001 lc with 18s (225/40/18) and it sits like a freakin 4 x 4. Cant wait to get it lowered. going for a 30mm drop. you will defo want it lowered once you have the wheels on.

No, new standard topmounts are used.
