latest purchase: 2 newly polished Stainless steel 1" lips off ebay Â£104 + delivery! fooking bargain!

Gonna sell my old 1.5"s on the back & replace them with some 2 or 2.5's at some point...probably when i refurb the wheels & get some new gold bolts!

only problem is apparently the coilies are at their highest setting...and its this lowww

scrubbing is a major issue lol...and they have just been put on so i imagine its going lower whether i like it or not

The only way you can be sure is to jack the car up and have a look

Same here, that must be at the lowest - Take a wheel of and have a look - Or just leave it as it looks good

i'd love to leave it as it is but i'm actually taking chunks out of one of my tyres, its gotta go up even a little bit, going to jack the car up & take a look but i know s**t all about adjusting coilies so it might be pointless! lol

yeah i was about to say yours is looking very low in your sig, probably the same height as mine?

Posted: **Sat Aug 25, 2007 4:36 pm**

That surely can't be on the highest setting, your about as low as me and i've got 14s. Just jack the car up take one of the wheels off and check where about's the spring ends on the thread, if it's towards the bottom with plenty of thread above it then you can wind them up, to prevent your tyre falling to pieces. Looks well good with the stance it is at right now though
