wheels gonna get some 15" steelies with yokoahama spec 2s

brake cossy 4x4 with omp discs and pads

uprated gearbox mounts and full service

and then do audio with a new battery in the boot what u all think opnions greatly valued and if anyone needs a help with there car in leeds arear give me an email

than include audio, valeting and genral mechanical whorage lol

What adjustable lower arms are you getting? Fiesta Frenzy lower arms of what?

[HCS PIMP]

i was gonna get the camber adjustable ones off area six got my spring gonna just go for gmax springs -60mm

brake ordered think omp discs and pads

[pjdj1989]

Are you getting uprated shocks aswell..? As ive found g-max to not be the best springs in the world, and that was only a 35mm drop..!

[HCS PIMP]

the 60 mm pi springs were good

[HCS PIMP]

if there really pants i can reutrn them the pi spring were good the si i had before were 60mm drop loved how it handeled

[pjdj1989]

yea, fair enough if you can.. i think marangoni zeta's are a really good tyre in comparison to yoko's, which seems to wear out quickly.!

whats the difference between a good set of springs and a s**t one

[HCS PIMP]

with bad springs its like drivign a bouncy castle down the road and bumps or speed bumps make the whole car judder good srpings are more stiff but still drives good also uprated gearbox mounts a deffinate upgrade for any hard driving ford sell diesel gearbox mounts thatr do the jobs sooo much better than standrad

[Luke1990]

a bouncy castle? surely thats just too soft? i think my springs are gmax and they dont bounce

[HCS PIMP]

yeh not all do its if u cut them like my mate told me to i said fook off u pikey lol yeh the springs can make it handle poo as still has body roll

[Luke1990]

well how is that relevant?

I said what do eibach or spax springs do that gmax dont?

and you told me how cutting springs is bad

[HCS PIMP]

the different mkes are made of differing qualities of metal and different coating to keep them new as cheap springs normally cheap metal and paintec better springs better metal and powercoating

p.s ur hijacking my page i wanted advice on which people thought would be best

p.s [ERRR] hijacking my page i wanted advice on which people thought would be best

im getting the impression you dont really know why gmax are poo and eibach are l337!!111 As i dont see paint vs powder coating as having much of an impact upon the handling of the car, material would effect obviously but by saying cheap metal and expensive metal, doesnt give one much of an insight into any perceived handling benefits. I was after something a little more expansive tbh.

As for hijacking your thread, if youd just been honest in your first reply to the question and said you didnt know, instead of spouting a load of rubbish then it wouldnt have happened

but to answer your own question, use the most expensive ones you can find as they are made of the most expensive stuff so must be the best

[HCS PIMP]

thnxs luke lol

anyone got any spring sugessions ??

[Ratspeed]

All of the above

[MossyZS]

Dampeners (shocks) are what stop your springs going "Bouncy Bouncy". Your shocks were probably f**cked.

I would go for Eibachs at least.. or spend abit more on Billies.

[XRoriginal]

Eibachs are very good - they give a wedge stance which I learn is the ideal stance from a performance perspective.

THey are also nicely wound - For general driving quite firm but bearable - for spirited they prevent excessive role quite nicely. A progressive spring that is actually progressive!

Get a zs beam also and some strut braces - throw a few polybushes in for good measure and you'll have a fine handling car (if a bit tail jittery- but maybe as I have little weight in the back!)

With reference to dampers - I am a little disappointed with Ford - per my suspension overhaul I replaced my dampers with new ford ones - coupled with the eibachs and the above setup the car does have a slight pendulam effect when centralising, changing direction quickly hmmm.....

[HCS PIMP]

yeh mine has starting doing that since i fitted my new tyres lol i think new springs to start then work my way to new dampers
