My 9N - Now low :D

Post by AKs_SlickPolo »

Today i finally got my 9N Lowered, Still lots of modds sitting at home, but this is it for now.

NOW 8) :

Nice to be low for once just heard a very bad scrape going out of the bodyshop, hope it aint done no damage underneath.

Just need to get used to the lowness, the car handles nice, but is a bit bumpy and edgy ride (feels a bit wierd) but still i like it! Getting it up the drive requires a bit of practice too

Comments welcome, good or bad?[/img]

Looking good. Lowering massively changes the look of 9ns. What wheels can we expect to see? :D

Looks good mate you've done it the right way round, lowering before putting new alloys on. Some 9's at the rear and 8's on the front will look sweet :wink:

Thinking about it, lowering first is the best way to go. You dont have to drive around looking like a roller skate, while waiting to lower it. looking good!

Thanks for the comments everyone :D yeah im glad i lowered first. My mk4 i did it the wrong way, but i learnt from my mistakes.

Few more pics taken today. The Sao Paulo alloys are growing on me. Was considering spacers, but i think i need to raise it up a bit by sticking 15s or 16s on, as its a bit too low for me. :cry:

Well like most people, maybe he can't afford to get everything done at once! :roll: :roll:



Looks good mate, still think the polished TT's will suit best!
