The pressure...................oooooh the pressure!!!!  i cant take it any more  :jumping:

have a look at the pic's.  I diddt bother looking at 12mm, diddnt seem to be any visual differance.  I also diddnt fit the 15mm to the front as it would stick out too far IMO.  So its just wether its worth having some 15mm for the rear...............  





Top pic = 10mm Front
Middle Pic = 10mm Rear
Bottom pic = 15mm Rear

let me know what you think please chaps!!

Just to confirm:

Top pic = 10mm Front
Middle Pic = 10mm Rear
Bottom pic = 15mm Rear

I think that i will have the 10mm front and possibly the 15mm rear's.  The front does look like it pushes the wheels right out but its better the the flesh as it were..

poop...........

I know what you mean though.  if your sticking with 18" and std suspension they are fine, woulddnt like to say on a lowered car though.  The 10mm did look good on the rear, i would probably say that if your lowering the car, have 10mm on the rear with a 5mm shim on the front.  Probably what i will end up having..........

OK final punt for me 10 or 12 on the back + bolts + 2 locking bolts, if you can get top quality ones at a good price.  :smiley:  :happy2:  :jumpmove:

Just checking on the locks, i can get them at 39mm thread length.  They are Cold forged and surpass Grade 12.9 and are coated with a 96hr tripple nickel / chrome finish.  The style is almost identical to McGard.   I can only get them in packs of 4 though.......

What i will now do is put in an order for 10mm and 15mm spacers, 40mm long bolts (radius seat) and 40mmn long locking bolts (again radius seat)  I think that i can get the locks for about £15 for you guys but i will confirm the full price once its in.  Again £40 would be tops for the kit and £15 tops for the locks.

If i can get the price any lower then i definaly will.  As im getting these in anyway, if your unsure of the quality / look of the kit then i am more thamn happy to show you them at the next meet i can make, we all know that with these things we look with our hands as well as our eye's..............

Thanks for the info all, much appreciated!!  :happy2:

Im low too  :sad:

But as you can see with the 19's I don't need spacers, but once the 18's are back on (within a couple of weeks) I think a 10mm+12mm should be good to go!

I currently run 10mm front with 12mm rear.....


.... if i were to buy some more then i'd go for 12mm front and 15mm rear.

IMO that'd just sit alittle sweeter  :smiley:

you got any pics pal??!!  :party:

Just having a scan through the good ole photobucket account.......

......this is the best i got untill sunday (weather permitting):





I know this doesn't show the rear very well but give you kinda an idea



I'll be sorting out better pic's on sunday, and also the relavent codes for the differetn things, auto boot, DRL's ect....
PM me with what codes are wanted
Don't judge me by your ability !
