Suspension and Wheel question

Post by Jordan142 »

Right then, I have a GT that I want dropping 60mm with ATS Classic wheels.

Can someone quickly tell me what kit to buy (just springs) and what offset rims to get? Oh and where the best place to buy them both too.

Cheers.

Cool, I wasn't after full set up but for that price it would be rude not too!

Is there any feedback on the performance of them? And can anyone do me a photo with the 60/60 setup on a GT?

Thanks again lads !

So far.. thumbs up for the FK stuff from Phil.

think she's sitting about 60/60

wheel wise, those are 7x13 classics ET20

need to space out about 10mm at the back, maybe 3mm at the front for g40 brake clearance.

better to get a slightly higher offset and space out than get a one that was too low.. and get pulled over all the time ;)

so personally for 7x13 i'd say roughly et 10 at the back and 20 at the front

you might need to have words with your rear arches matey.. not sure as i've never had a square, but they are usually quite fussy about offsets on the back from what i hear.
