hahah looks awesome, but I'm too impatient to roll through spoon drains that slow.

When I first put the BC's on the front, almost all the tire disappeared inside the guard. My son said to leave it like that, but I wouldn't have been able to get down the drive. It's often a compromise between fashion & practicality. Good to see some guys don't care about being practical (no speed bumps in his neck of the woods?) so we can admire awesome lowness :thumbsup:.

It will have more low after it gets a cert.

On the coilovers there's another 40-50mm to go in the dummy bottom, and then there's the spring rate adjustment too... I could possiblt make it lay frame as a static drop :thumbsup:

So many speed bumps! Every gas station I almost come to a complete stop when my chassis sits on them, and then there's the little metal grates in the forecort(for filling the tanks I guess?), I've actually pulled a couple of those out.... Any little bump the front subframe and swaybar sit on the ground, top arms hit body, its dragged the exhaust that much the rearest flange bolts came loose so my bozo pipe was flapping around abit haha...

It's still practical.... Can still go 100km/h... With sparks :cheers:

What rims are they if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah that's what I thought. I imagine the geometry will be extremely bad with handling to match.

And I would imagine the front upper arms are hitting the strut towers also on bumps.

Going for its wheel allignment today, camber is staying the same, just bringing elliminating the toe in.

Handles meh, better than factory, but yes, if there's a big enough bump the top arms hit body... And no doesnt hit bumpstops

I love how so many people comment on how bad it must handle... I don't care, it's not like I race it, that's what my RX7 is for..

Infact, after my cert I am going t odrop it another 30mm

I don't think anyone is attacking it, I know I certainly am not.. we're just talking about it. I think it looks great, but where I'm from it would last about 3 hours on the road before it's defected.

Or last 3 hours without ripping the front bar off on a spoon drain!

I dunno how you're going to manage with another 30mm drop but I cant wait to see how it looks worship.gif

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.

      Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!

      I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?

      What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
