[jimEdanger]

after finally sorting the coilovers here she is, as low as i can go and still get in my drive.....scrapes the exhaust a touch tho!!!

That looks sweet as fella, what drop did you go for??? I've just dropped mine 2" all round but i'm thinking of raising the arse back up 1"

[jimEdanger]

about 2" all round also mate....but with 175/50 tyres on my 7js which are around 3/4" smaller diameter than the 185/60s i had on there....so about 2 3/4"s if you factor that in...yours looks good mate....smaller tyres really help on clearence tho!!

[moredoorAsh]

I got ya ,cheers i went for 175 70s but its the difference in the visable tyre wall at the top of the front and rears i'm not sure about...althoug i know the previous owner fitted rear archs and 1 sticks out further then the other so they could also be lower then

very nice mate doing mine soon

 

 

 

Edit: this sounds sad but have you got any pics of drive as i got a similar problem

[jimEdanger]

if i get home tomorrow night before it gets dark ill do a couple of pics of the drive and the car going over the worst bit....its just dragging!!

Very cool ride! What colour is that - is it a Ford colour?

 

I have the same problem with ride height and getting the car on the drive - i put 175/50/13's with a 2" drop on my car and beached the car trying to get it back down the drive!

 

Are you running 7 inch wide round hole wellers?

[hotdiggetty]

Nice looking motor

[jimEdanger]

yeah they are indeed round hole wellers....off a fiesta autograss car!! as for the colour, it is a ford colour, under the bonnet it says red velvet....on the original bill of sale it says jupiter red.....might see if anyone knows what it is...
