Anyone using 18" wheels and H&R -50mm lowering springs on Classic ?
Is it possible and if so, pics please.
Cheers,
Mika

StickyMicky

my mate is useing them with his 18" p1 wheels

Mika

Any chance to get pics and do you know what size of tyres he is using?
I ordered P1 wheels too.

phok

i'm looking at getting these, i'd be very interested to see some pics as well.

Akka

Definately love some pictures! Also, what is the ride like with the wheels and springs combo, do the wheels rub on the arches and is your friend running standard shocks?

I run 18`s along with H&R springs on my classic.
They rub using standard shocks, and 215/35x18 tyres.

phok

how badly do they rub? do they rub the suspension or arch....or both?!

Johnny50

They dont rub badly, just on the arch though, not the suspension.

After a good run you can see the rubbing marks on the rear tyres.

I have these fitted and they don't lower it 50mm more like 35mm, I think they lower a standard impreza 50mm but the turbo sits about 15mm lower anyway.
Plenty of room with 17's.

Akka

Johnny50, any chance of pics?

I really want mine to sit like the gorgeous impreza on the following link.............any ideas of the setup on this car guys?

Akka...

Even -35mm on standard dampers can destroy the handling though!!

Mika

Matt, don't be a party pooper mate

StickyMicky

sorry, heres my mates uk turbo on H&R -50 mm springs and he has 18" p1 alloys

he says his doesnt rub??

phok

they silver one on that link akka is a guy who lives round the corner from me. he had tein fully adjustable coilovers set to about -80mm!

i've got hks coilovers set to about -65mm at the moment but they just too hard for road use, i usually end up bouncing round any corners that aren't perfectly flat!

stickymicky - cheers for the pic but do you have a side view to see the arch gap?

StickyMicky

ill have a look

i have my coilovers set to about 100mm but im sick of them and there coming off soon

StickyMicky

nahh the side on pic i have doesnt have the new wheels fitted

Mika

You could still post it

StickyMicky

then i would have to upload it 1st

Mika

Then we will wait at the mean time

phok

could get a group buy going at this rate!

Akka

Bloody hell 80mm! bets thats a terrible ride! I think H&R -50mm are going to be the best option, although the car in this link eth the H&Rs doesn't look very low.

Cheers Phok

Each to their own. It's just more important to me that the car handles well rather than looks low!!!

Matt

Johnny50

I wouldn't say that mine looks that low either, but, at least i can still get over speed bumps...and the car really does handle quite well.

Just need to get me some drop links etc...
