F A O Bonnie Scotland

Firstly thanks for the idear
And appoliges for copying you.

My 18" F1 arive in the morning, can you tell me will the lowering springs are you getting any rubbing. I have read the thread concernig youre wheels and you say that you for one moment thought that they were rubbing and then not so sure. Would you say that it is safe to go ahead and lower the car using the springs from Graham goode racing.

Also could you please take a photo of youre car front on as I am trying to convince the better half to get the Driving lights.

Regards

Andy

Hi Andy

Bonnie Scotland's down South in Luton (I believe) then he's heading off on the Chilterns Run this weekend. I don't think he has computer access when he's away so it may be a few days before he gets back to you.

Cheers,
Willie

Andy, as Willie m said i've been away in ingerland for the chilterns but i'm ok now.

Yes, i get a slight rub when going over a quick depression in the road, it don't sound too serious and so far do not see any wear. Also a wee rub when going over a wee uneven road, ie side to side.
I think a sway bar will cure it. The car is lowered with eibach springs and are allegedly 30mm.

Just for you a nice pic of my car with my girl friend in it:-

Top man
Thanks

I have fitted the wheels along with a Magnaflow exhaust. And I do belive that the car needs to be slightly lower.

kind Regards

Andy
