Question

Scoty, need your help mate. Thinkin of Stickin a set of 19's onto my classic, problem being it's got a set of Eibachs that drop it about 35mm.

What's your set up mate??

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers, - Bee

Cool

Bee,

I have got H&R springs with standard dampers.
IIRC, the Eibachs dont lower the car as much as the H&R's.

If you put 19's on, I would recon you will have to get at least the lip on the back arches tucked in a bit (£30).
The problem I have just now is that the back tyres, actually hit the chassis, up inside the back arches.
Sounds hellish when it happens.
I havent had if fixed yet m8, so I cant comment on how it would work out.
There is plenty companies who can do it though, and I will get it done soon.
You might not get the inner chassis rub, if your car is sitting a little higher.
If you're not on a buget, get 19's, coil overs, and get the rear arches rolled, and the chassis done for good messure.
You can come round and I'll show you what I meen m8, if you've got the time.

Scoty, cheers for the reply mate. Yeah thought some work like that would need to be done, bogus! Think I might just stick with the 18" idea. Cheers for the info anyroad!

Bee, I had eibachs on b4 I swapped to H&Rs like Scoty.

The eibachs firmed the car up but didn't drop it much, whereas the H&Rs dropped car by about 45mm. (I run 18s with plenty of room.)

Go 19 ya tart!!!!!!!!!!!!
