What car do you drive and how often (miles) do you think you'll have to replace them at what cost?

where they expensive ?

red_ice · 27-10-2003 4:17pm

ye, just a lil ;p

If your talkin about the cossie springs? it depends what your definition of expencive is!

They cost me 200 sterling.

I imported my focus from the uk, cos of road conditions and second hand cars in ireland.

i asked the lads in the factory to lower it 60mm, but they wouldnt clear it coz the wheels would rub, so they said 40 would be as low as it would go and that its all that they would clear for 18''

very practical for the ****e roads we have here

red_ice · 28-10-2003 1:30am

i guess it means ill have to slow down more and show em off :P

ando · 28-10-2003 11:13am

bloody hell m8, you wanted to go down 60... thats a fair bit. I've gone down 35 with Eibach springs on 17" rims, but to honest I should of gone down 40 at least as there still is a noticable gap there:

red_ice · 28-10-2003 8:10pm

they looks nice

I think 40 is grand, but i like a really low profile. I was worried about getting 17s because i didnt want 1/2 my arch showing, but that looks really nice on your one.

How much were the springs? and where did you get the icons?

To be honest I cant remember how much the springs were, I think they were 300 (including fitting). I got the work done in Motorway in Blanchardstown, they give a guarantee iswell, once you buy the springs off them. I got the rims from East coast alloys in Ardee

how much were your ikon +'s? They have to be possibly teh sexiest there is on the market imo. i wanted them in chrome, but having a silver car doesnt go chrome any justice

ando · 29-10-2003 4:31pm

The Ikon's were €1080 with tyres

Burago · 02-11-2003 11:10pm

I bet the standard discs and calipers look ****e with those rims, unless of course you upgraded?

red_ice · 02-11-2003 11:20pm

wasnt really going to do anything about the discs... not really needed, but i was going to paint the calipers... untill it got stolen.

ando · 03-11-2003 12:05am

are you ok m8 with the payment of the car, is the garage's insurance covering the cost of the stolen car? or are you.... ?

New wheels!
