Could somebody please describe the necessary components required to achieve a stance not to dissimilar to this, I gather that it has Meister coil overs, but what about spacers, wheel sizes, wheel widths, tyre sizes etc ... much appreciated as hoping to achieve something similar on mine (probably with more ride height) ... because it looks tasty. :)

well as thats andy isherwoods ride, check his ride section. or old posts, im sure its going to be in there somewhere.

its only that low because of all the heavy bling under the bonnet....chrome everything and what you dont chrome polish till it loks like chrome and you dont ned to buy the susspension bits.......aint that right Andy :) :)

Hi Tommy,

 

Wheels are 8.5 and 9.5 inch staggered. That picture has a 25mm spacer on the fronts which looked amazing but rubbed on bumps sometimes. They were replaced with 20mm spacers and it's fine now.

 

I would advise going with the Miester coilovers first to drop the car where you want it (get the camber re-set etc at a laser wheel alignment place) and then see what clearance you have and space accordingly. You would need to invest in adjustable top arms for front and rear and toe arms for the front.

 

I would also recomend getting your rear wheel arches rolled. I used arch enemy for this.

Andy, dont forget to state your offsets, info is meaningless without it.

 

I'd guess 35 all round before the spacers ? .....giving you 35 rear, 15 front with the spacers

I would have but I don't have the wheels any more and can't remember the offsets.

 

I'm sure a good search on here will reveal some recommended offsets.

did it not rub on full lock etc? i have 19s on and im sure if i spaced them out it would rub on full lock :wack:

Soo err, the wheels in the pictures, they are 19"? All very useful info, thanks all. Definitely some food for thought. :)

Good luck and keep us updated!
