Drkas LCR- Air and Interior by Plush

[Willie]

Iv noticed the rear wheel come forward on really low drops, does look crap.

I wouldnt have it that low all the time or for shows as i agree it looks crap.

I want to go low either on coilovers or air. Main advantage with air is that i can have it as low as i like so it suits the wheels and stance i want, but i can raise it for bumps and the roads around where i stay which are crap. Main thing im scared about is handling like a boat.........but iv heard that it aint that bad unless ur a hard track driver, which im not i dont even drive that fast.

But coilovers i think would take away that fear of it handling crap...but i dont even know if they will be very effective at a lower height.

Depending on the cash you have to splash you can have the best of both worlds in one system, not cheap like.
100%, if you go bags or coilovers the rear wheel will move forward at between 30-35mm drop and look shite

No, the LCR has a K04-023 as standard, the LC has the K03S, at least the later ones did, think the earlier ones and the Leon 20VT had the K03. If you want a turbo upgrade you're looking at either a big turbo kit using something like a Garrett or IHI unit, or you could get your K04 turned into hybrid (basically upgrading internal components within the turbo). Hybrid route is typically cheaper but usually more complex to get right, check paul-murphys and rsmith's RR threads, they're both doing hybrids just now.

If you could get hold of just the K04-023 you could get that "hybrid-ized", that way you'd still have your current turbo to put back on if you decided to go back to standard and sell on, that's probably what I'll do if/when I get as far as doing a hybrid conversion.

Dout im gonna bother atm tbh. I went and did some research and dont really see the benifit for me just now. Its plenty of power for me just now. Im just gonna work on replacing things i think are crap like that K&N filter and so on.

But unless you can find a solution to the rear wheel coming forward its always going to look shite on its arse

Yeah looked into that only rear way to sort it if your going down low low is to extend the bumper and make arch smaller seen this done on a focus looks poo IMO

I dont think with the wheels and height that i want it will be that much of a problem, as i dont like to not be able to see the top side wall of a tyre done that on my 106 before kinda looks like its broke, so not being able to see the top tread of my tyre is what im aiming for with a small amount of 'poke' the wheel coming forward shouldnt be that much of a issue.

And now one for george, went down to a local place to me Custom Craft and got the exhaust sorted, so it now sits nice and snug in the reccess like it should. Happy lad

 

[8bit]

Good to see you got your exhaust sorted. Now you won't have to worry about it falling off halfway across the highlands and scaring all the sheep

 

[drka-drka]

Lol yeah was such a easy job too for the lad, took couple hours at most. Looks loads better now i look at it more

I would like to add no sheep where harmed in the making of this exhaust.

 

[drka-drka]
