swordfish210 20 Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) has anyone got any pics of a 205 like this http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q129/sw...08092006054.jpg so a 205 with no arches and with speedlines on (preferably) but that has been lowered. I am thinking of lowering my car when i finally get around to sorting the suspension but i cant decide by how much so if i can see some other pics that would help me a lot. edit; file size, 120k max please Edited February 4, 2007 by pugtorque Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frodo_monkey 0 Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) This is my car with the front lowered approx 30mm with a Gaz kit. Since then its had a new rear beam dropped by one spline (cheers Pugtorque ) so looks equally low at both ends. If you can wait a couple of weeks I can take a piccy of it now (and on 1.9 rims): http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/fro.../205lowered.jpg edit; file size, 120k max please.

DTORU 0 1 Cars Posted February 4, 2007 If your 205 is any other but a STDT,GTI,CTI then if you run 1.9 15" speedlines the back will rub the arch if you put any load (inc passengers, hitting bumps etc.) in the back. If you lower it, it wil be far worse, i had to convert my archs to gti spec to stop the rubbing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeHunt79 0 Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) swordfish... do your rear tyres rub on your arches with 3 in the back over a bumpy road? Mine does. xrdt with speedlines, front lowered but not back (yet), as I wanna sort my arches first: DTORU: How did you get your arches to GTI spec? Got any more info or prices?

swordfish210 20 Posted February 4, 2007 no my wheels dont rub the arches because for 1: This is the rear seating arrangement in my XT http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q129/sw...13012007186.jpg so i never have much load in the back and 2: i have fitted some 3mm spacers behind the wheels to combat the rubbing when i hit speed bumps ect and it didnt destroy the KPI setting (i measured it just to be sure) thanks for the pics guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
