[Scott 172]

How much is it lowered by, what springs did you use an ho much did yu pay for them loli ou dont mind me sin - im thinkn o lowering mine

 

[Nick_R182]

No probs dude! I bought them off 'Miketheman2k' but put them on the 172 rather than mine. Apex 40mm

 

[Adam]

[dannyboy172]

40mm? My springs are brand new and look lower than that??

 

[Alan]

172 @ 19 ! thats good going !
also that must be one of the first mk2 172's, it looks nice.

 

[lewisniven]

who insures u on that? best qoute ive had is £2200

 

[Rich0404]

thanks for the comments! will get some better pics up in the week, when ive cleaned it!

 

[Rich0404]

Im with Admiral around £1600, 2 years no claims.

 

[Rich0404]

dannyboy172, your car looks good!
im not sure about these springs, ive read loads of posts saying that the car looks high, or standards are lower etc!
but it has definately lowered my quite a far bit!

 

[Fred@BTM]

doesn't look right to me, the rear SHOULD be lower than that with APEX 40mm springs

 

[Rich0404]

the springs seem to have settled alot more than in the pics. also i dont have a spare wheel in the back.

 

[GarethM]

they should be lower as fred says dannys car looks right for the apex's

 

[Paul C]

it looked fairly low at the MK Meet. looked good.

 

[sh33n]

Why do we need to know the pics were taken 3 weeks after your 19 th birthday, are we supposed to be impressed?

[Rich0404]

It was there to give you an idea of when i bought the car. but i obviosly didnt write it correctly. it wouldnt really bother me if you were not or are impressed as im happy with what I got anyway.

How the hell are we supposed to know your birthday is in April? Face facts boyo you were trying to show off. Admit it and move on.

Cool thanks Tom.

 

[len_beach]

Looking mean now mate. Get some spacers on there to push the wheels out slightly.
I don't think it looks too high Rich, though it is 4x4 esque in that 1st shot.
Heres mine with settled Apex (approx 15 weeks after my 23rd b'day-30th Sept )

 

[Rich0404]

len beach the car lloks cool!
have you got spacers on yours? whats size if so?
LOL cheers for the estimated date of photo taken!

 

[len_beach]

No spacers on there mate but as they're Cup Turinis, the offset is different so they are pushed out slightly. ET38 v 42.5 on the 172 rims, though I always get the figure wrong.
Get hunting for thos Speedlines.
