AND YOU CALL THAT SLAMMED!

HSVETAR · 12-03-2006, 10:45 AM

Thats pretty low man, wheel arches on the tyres and on 15s. Will look wiked with a set of 17s or 18s under it.

5L · 12-03-2006, 02:32 PM

yeh i do call it slammed to what it was at before hand, im sorry if the rim isnt under the guards front and rear for you.

Damo · 12-03-2006, 05:58 PM

looks good mate, big improvement. I love how clean your car is, looks mint! I re-lowered the front of mine the other day with short shocks now the front sits lower than the rear, need to even it up a bit.

5L · 13-03-2006, 01:56 AM

ahh clean hahaha nah it is fairly clean i suppose but there are a fair few dents not huge ones, but i supose u get that from a car of this age and the interior needs work from the bloke before me, the light grey bit below the dark grey cd player surround is broken from the bloke before me, he tried to put his deck in and didnt know how to take it off so he kept pullin i was like "wat the?" the screws are so obvious and the dark grey surround for the gear stick is also snapped they are the next jobs to clean up as well as a lip spoiler

agony · 17-03-2006, 07:53 AM

Mate you call that having the guard over the lip of the top of the tyre, try having lip down covering 1/4 of the wheel not just the tyre.

ON_DUBS · 17-03-2006, 12:46 PM

thats ridiculous and impractical agony. its choice for a "PRO STREET CAR" but not for EB5SPEEDs everyday driver.

looks good EB whats next?

-jjM- · 17-03-2006, 01:01 PM

Its also enhanced because the ED had a rounded wheel arch at the top whereas your wheelarch isnt rounded it cuts straight across, thus covering alot more wheel than if you were to have rounded arches like the ED.

1TUFFUTE · 17-03-2006, 02:03 PM

yeah, id like to see it that low at the front...ud never turn the thing

gozza · 17-03-2006, 02:35 PM

sven · 17-03-2006, 10:39 PM

Car sits awsome mate. the more you look at it the more you'll love it (until you want to go lower

: )
