To lower or not !

tbh, I had the choice when ordering on the colour, IF I hadn't got black I don't know if I could have been bothered in spraying them, however the pp wheel is quite busy so you probably wont notice the silver ones that much anyways....
Fit em and see....

I have them. Every time I clean the car I notice them. The will be black by the end of this weekend!

Yep, thats what I will be doing.

Very little but then, I have got RTR side skirt splitters that come out about as much as the spacers do.

You might want to consider front splash guards (mud flaps).

Do the lowering springs take time to settle as the ride seems quite unsettled now, especially around town.
May have to go back to stock:doh:

£30 for the springs ;)!

Yes, as advised once bedded in, have everything checked, tightened and geometry re-set if necessary.

 

[blueboy]

how many miles does it usually take for them to settle ?

 

[Lone Survivor]

There's not a definitive answer here, should only be a matter of a few weeks. Get it checked out and make sure the geometry is in the correct tolerances.

Was this, as far as you think, an immediate effect? It should not be 'unsettled', complete opposite in fact.

300-500 like most things!

 

[SteveS]

My springs have bedded in now following the NC500 trip so need to get the alignment checked. At no point did they feel unsettled however. They were an immediate improvement over stock.

I'm tempted to lower mine, but my exhaust hangs quite low at the back and even now I only have about an inch worth of clearance for my driveway. Inch and a half at most. I certainly don't want to go scraping anything. :S

 

[blueboy]

Seems to feel every bump in the road even after geometry being done last week.
Have only done a couple of hundred miles since fitting.
Driving up to Wales at the weekend and then over to Ireland, I will se if they settle down.
Will probably do nigh on 1000 miles or more, so will be able to judge it more by then.

 

[SteveS]

I'm not saying I don't feel bumps, just that the car feels confident going over them. Get a bit of speed up; it really smoothes things out ;)

Just lowered and spaced mine and it's a different better Stang !
Very very happy
Thanks GT101
Wonder what's next !
