This is not just another excuse to post a picture of my wheels.



I've been thinking that it's look could be further improved by a little lowering. But not too much. These springs may be just the thing.

Sounds like a good deal. Are they difficult to install. 30 min 2 hrs???? How does it affect the handling? Better and stiffer?

Thanks

AusS2000, What wheels are those and how much are they? And what size are they? Also, what tyres have you got on there?

ps. Oviously I think they look good :-) They're not too over the top which I like.

Hi David,

They are ROH Adrenalin (yes, Aussie made!).

ROH used then on an S on their brochure, but didn't actually make them in the correct offset. I have negotiated with them and had a batch made in the correct offsets for the S. They are 17x7 at the front and 17x8 at the back. Offsets are 47 and 52mm respectively.

Tyres are Falken GRB's in 215/45-17 front and 245/40-17 rear.

If you want to see some pictures check here.

I'll work out some $AUD pricing for you and send you a PM.

OK so back to the springs, how long for a typical install?
And are they the same rate at all four corners?

How good a job do you want the install to be? I can do it if I went to pep boys and rent/borrow the spring compressor thingie. It usually takes about 2 hours with ALL the right tools.

I don't have the catalogs with me, but these springs are "dual rates"

I will then assume that all the springs are the same dual rate for each spring, I just dont want to lose or degrade the handling bias.
