Hi all just need some advice on how to lower my 4X4 1300E as you can see it sits very high standard and i haven't decided what wheels to keep on it yet but have a set of mex steels 5.5 j waiting to go on with tyres 175/70/13 however my issue is how high it sits, i have put a set of lowering springs on front -1 inch but it still has not sat right my issue is i love the drive it has at the moment as all suspension has been refurbished and mostly poly bushes have been added i do not want it slammed just to look slightly lower say -2 inch on front without losing any comfort in the ride the back is straight forward with lowering blocks so its the front i have the issue with the current wheels are capri laser with 185/70/13 tyres any ideas or views please

Ray that set up cant be standard thats why i am asking because they normally look like 4x4's on the height on front and back so it must of been altered from factory i am not asking for the coca cola recipe

stunning looking motor what is the suspension set up you are running back and front to get a stance like that and what does it ride like

nothing a good panel beater cant sort out for £2000

found a 1300E same as mine in the film Brannigan 1975 with John Wayne notice it has a different plate now now for mine thought John Waye rode horses heres the link of the movie if any one wants to watch it http://123movie.mn/watch/qvaA97v3-brannigan.html

they do look nice but straight away you think Lotus Escort

what size tyres you running

dig them out and post them to me lol

lol same as mine then

thats fine then but only if they turn out like yours they do look the business

but are steels different than alloys in that department

is that per wheel i take it can get new alloys for that much lol

no i wont be doing them will find someone local but have to get a set first

They have come out real nice did you have a problem restoring them and can it be done on any steels or do they have to be quite decent before you started as i am thinking of buying a 5.5 set and getting them refurbished any recommendations to

Yeah that's why i was asking its just personal choice then with or without

are they 5.5 j

look nice are the black inserts sprayed too or stickers

heading that way

do like the look of these

what does that involve doing
