My lowered LWB- HI-TOP

[microgerry]

Looks cool. First LWB I have seen lowered too.

What have you used to blacken the wheel arches and bumpers?

Cheers mate, see here for the trim dye. Have a read through or just check the eBay item number.

make that 4 with lowered high tops





mines on focus rs front springs with rear axle flip and 40mm longer rear hangers running mondeo st alloys with 225 40 18 tyres

Looks good mate

Got it levelled out in the end (well actually arse up slightly)







Only issue is the front springs are too short for the legs so wont pass an MOT!

What springs are you using in the front? Looks great!

60mm focus mk2 ones i presume as they came in a kit

How much of a gap is there? I was hoping to use -45mm mk2 springs on mine but would prefer not to have a gap either at full droop.

Colour match is way off too, as are the pattern parts but ho hum!

You said the springs are too short for the struts so if the suspension was at full droop, how much of a gap is there between the unloaded spring and the spring perch? Which brand of springs were you using? If it is a very small gap, a -45mm MK2 spring may not have any gap at full droop.

Thanks!

Ahhh i see. I didnt measure it, but i need to replace the lower arms and check all the bolts etc so ill have a measure up for you

[Dub-77]

Drizz, looking well different mate, you pleased with it ?

[Drizz]

Yes, although im gutted the colour match is off and the pattern bits arent spot on, but its a work van at the end of the day. The wheels should make a big difference. Just playing the waiting game on them lol
