getting paranoid its gonna look like its on stilts but im about to move into a new house and the access to this house has 1 speed bump not very tall and its quite a long one at 6ft, my car is a lwb on 18's with these side skirts will be completly blended in ->

 

 

could i get away with just springs? what sort of drop? 35mm too much, will i get over speed bumps or am i gonna rip the skirts off? and if i go for coilovers where do i get a set of cheap'o's...... not the 45 quid ones off fleebay (very tempted tho lol)

whats wrong with the £45 ones off ebay, they are tempting me...

i have never been stuck on any speedbumps at all

they are £45 that's what's wrong 'em :)

was the back one on mine snapped like a carrot :confused:

someone fitted the cheap ebay ones, think they came off straight after. try searching or someone will come and tell you who it was;)

cant find anything - anyone got some pics of a 300 with my skirts lowered on 18's?

Got those on mine, can't lower as it only just clears the ramp into my drive by about 1/4 inch:eek:

LMFAO! That has to be the coolest thing ive seen.............this week:P

why dont your drive your car over the speed bumps at present and stop halfway onto it and get out, c how much clearance you have? that may give you a rough idea how much you can risk lowering the car by?

being used as a taxi now in manchester, the kit was on a destroyed f100 lightning so with 4X24v battarys it could get some air......lol!

 

he ripped the trackrod ends off when it was at its full height so its off the road at the preasent moment in time lol!

 

was a suprisingly easy thing to install just gotta think about things (track, toe, caster, camber)...... all compleeeeeetly ruind but hay looks amaizing....

Ha ! Hilarious ... A great snow plough though ! :cool:

 

BTW, no lane changing allowed either, the Cats eyes will demolish that low low car !!!

 

Looks like the white lines painted on the road might also cause a problem !!

That can really stuff you at traffic light Grand Prix's !! :mac1:
