Quick question. I have 19x8.5 on my fr. Will lowering it cause problems?

looking at mine you would be pushing it with an extra inch, but i have Sportlines on, you could probably lower it with Prolines and be ok, but thats only a guess. have to find someone with 19" try one of the LCR lads on this site, they may have lowered it.

Got sportlines on, Neuspeed ARB, Shark De-dpf'd and a forge quick shift, all she needs now are some tints and im finished! (For Now )

Thats looking great.

It has retained the nose down stance that I like. I've seen a few on sportlines that look lower at the back and I don't think it suits the car.

If I could be sure of a stance like yours I'd definitely get the sportlines on mine.

Do you have any side on shots??

 

[RobH]

Sportlines are always lower at the front from what ive seen anyways.

 

[craigmk6]

looks very nice mate!

 

[GrahamFR]

ill take some side shots tomorrow and post them up, on my phone at mo so cant. from memory tho i think the stance is equal both front and back.

DonnyBoy - I almost mistook your first picture above for my car, for at least a few seconds...
Both Black, both on Sportlines, both sporting HEKO Wind Deflectors and Silver wing mirror caps...
But then as I looked down, you have the full BTCC bumpers/skirts, where as mine doesn't.

I'm getting the Cupra Black wing mirror caps this week, plus front Black Grille soon too...

FWIW, my Sportlines also give the car a slight nose down stance (ie not parallel to the tarmac).
This is how front wheel drive cars SHOULD ride, for optimum weight distribution towards the front of the car, where the "driving wheels" are.

 

[GrahamFR]

er you do realise thats actually mine and donnyboys is white? Lol anyway i never even asked for the black cupra grille it just came with it cos they had to swap the face lift grille didnt fit with the bumper so the stealers used whatever they had in spares and i got it for free. Not too sure if i prefer it or not but makes it different i guess bet i am the only one with black grille and silver wing mirrors

Side shots as promised.

 

[Donnyboy]

Side shots as promised.

You could've cleaned it!!

From the side it looks lower at the back that it does in the other pics. This is my dilemma.

 

[GrahamFR]

well there are a few things in the boot and when your driving around the weight (yourself) will be in the front, which in turn should make it lower. Looking at it myself it looks pretty same both front and back, but the sportlines are supposed to be lower at the front...

 

[Big_Mikey_G]

Do all Face Lift FR's have silver door handles now or did u spec / change that?

First time ive ever noticed them.

 

[GrahamFR]

no and admittedly its not my most prestigous modifcations, but there just stick on ones, cant tell unless your really close up and i mean like at the door, pleased i had them, they were on my old PD for 3 years and they never once fell off even when washing!

The springs were fitted by awesome GTi, was about £300 all in including the springs and four wheel alignment.

The splitter is just supported by self tapping screws. I fitted it myself and its rock solid with no gaps between the splitter and the bumper

I may have a go at fitting one myself after i have painted it gloss black.

Any pictures of it underneath so i can see how you fixed it?

Also what screws did you use?

Thanks

F rom the side it looks lower at the back that it does in the other pics. This is my dilemma.

Mine sometimes looks low at the back like that especially if it's parked nose down on a hill. I think it just depends how level the ground is.

That looks great, makes me wish i had bought a blue one now!
