#1: yesterday i got slammed! Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 10:26 am ---- Well sorry about the title if you misinterpret it but as you will now see from the pictures yesterday i took a trip to wakefield to have my car lowered off of 80brett i think his username is anyways i set off early in the morning and was caught up in so much traffic getting there but managed to get there in good time. He cracked on with the job at hand and 4 hours later my car was looking as ive wanted it to look for like ages
Oh and as for four hours that is because we came across a few problems, a droplink that was so stuck we had to saw it off at either end
Anyhow heres the pics
all comments welcome of course
oh and a few more mods to be done before the weekend hopefully so keep your eyes peeled for the next installements

yeah im tempted to go a bit more on the front but the sills are pretty much level
and the rear is like 60 mm and my wheels are sat into the arches as you can see so dunoo really
it does scrape though even when there are just dips in the road

im not on springs im on coilovers Avo GTX i think they are and i honestly couldnt tell you what height that is either i just know its 4cm away from the top of the bolt hole on the bottom of the strut if that even makes sense
#9: Re: yesterday i got slammed! Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 10:34 am ---- More at the front mate, and imo thats about 80mm no way 60mm
#10: Re: yesterday i got slammed! Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 10:35 am ---- i know the feeling mate lowering and my wheels are my best mods by farrr looks good pal
#11: Re: yesterday i got slammed! Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 10:36 am ---- a lil more on front mate then it will be mint!

trust me its 60 i measured it
it is a gti 180 so naturally lower than other 206's?
and how much lower at the front i only have a hands worth of gap before i lose turning ability?
could go another 10mm at most i think but then it will sit nose down and i like it pretty level
#13: Re: yesterday i got slammed! Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 10:40 am ---- i personally think 10mm more would be perfect mate maybe a tiny bit less. but its your car mate so you can choose! lol
#14: Re: yesterday i got slammed! Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 10:40 am ---- Oh and so you all know i am running soft front and hard rear on the dampening rates and its awesome its like its glued to the road can really whip it into turns
#15: Re: yesterday i got slammed! Author: MutilateTheDead, Location: DerbyPosted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 10:42 am ---- Nice! Doesn't need to be lower at front imo
#16: Re: yesterday i got slammed! Author: Kersh, Location: Bridgnorth, Nr WolverhamptonPosted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 10:45 am ---- itll probably settle out a further 10mm so give it a few weeks and itll be sitting perfectly
#17: Re: yesterday i got slammed! Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 10:45 am ---- Is that 60mm all round or just the rear mate? Really loving the car mate

just 60mm rear as i couldnt really put a measurement on what the front went down as i changed from standard shocks and springs to coilovers
and thanks but there's still lots to be done im hoping to be finished by the end of this year with the exterior styling
#19: Re: yesterday i got slammed! Author: apjs87, Location: PlymouthPosted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 10:54 am ---- nice looking motor! if anything, raise the rear slightly!

in my defence i thought that all tape measures were elastic
no i was not using an elastic one im on 17" wheels and its a gti so naturally lower than other 206's
and tbf if its not 60mm then i dont know wat it is but it looks good and sits just as i want so im happy

Yeah they do, not by much though. If i remember right it's about 15mm lower than the others.

there actually more of a satin or gloss finish in the headlights and as you know they are factory ones so aint splitting them
gonna re-do the fogs to match though as i did them matt and cant stand the fact that thay dont match the headlights
got a few tips on hw to get them matched anyway so will see how they go when i buy my new fogs
