I might do it again and go another 10mm as it still looks high lol
and i took it out for blast after and it handles very very good, so much so i got huge oil surge when going one roundabout and left a huge could of burnt oil behind me! can you stop this like on XE's?
Scott
looks cool as mate, the front still looks a touch high, maybe another 12mm would level her out?
So decided to take the C spanner to it again! lol
Now i was assuming the shock body's on the coilovers would have the same amount of thread on them, so i was using this to gage how much to wind them down by, so now i have brought the drivers side another 12mm down, and the passengers side another 15mm as it seams to sit higher!
So around 25mm/30mm lower then where they started now, looks a bit better, best thing is i set the bolt on the top camber hole to the most forward position, so Ive got no camber so i wont eat through tyres like if it was on normal shock and 60mm springs etc..

I'm very tempted to re paint the spokes on my mo's in anthracite and put them on this, but I'm not sure as i spent all that cash to get them powder coated...
Scott
That looks great dude. Looks much better now the front is right down.
Looks much better now the front end matches the rear end, needs new shoes though i reckon:thumb:
Is looking good Scott, keep the astra and sell the loon to fund the hatch :thumb:
I'm not selling any! i want to keep the hatch as she is, and do a wide euro sort of style thing to the loon, the Astra is a nice daily (though I'm using the 1.2 more at the mo) practical car, and worth less to sell then the 1.2 lol
But cheers guys, shall i try the MO's as they are? clash of two yellow shades anyone??
Any :cough: updates Scott... I had a dream about your car the other night!!! I was driving it ... more of a wet dream really lol
