Ive got matt humphris 60mm springs on standard shocks. Ideally I would have uprated shocks. I will get some in the future. Going 60+mm you will need an adjustable panhard rod though. I got mine from noddy on here. Very good too

There is a large selection of 30-40mm lowering springs available on the market, try demon tweeks etc. If you want to go lower, matt humphris does 50, 60 and i think 80mm lowering springs which are very good

Hi all, managed to get the car up on a ramp today while servicing it. Notice that the gearbox was coated in fluid. It seemed to be coming from a sensor?. (a wire running into the gearbox). Is there a seal which has more than likely perished and needs replacing. Didnt take any pictures sorry...

Thanks for that Skinner, would I be able to get away with et30. I've found a set which i'm really keen on...

I would like a slight stretch to them. I guess with 7j they would need to be stretched for them not to rub? I have considered banding but fancy some nice shiny alloys now :)

Yeah, its just a shame about the limited selection available compared to 13 and 15's. What offset would be ok for 15's 7j?

Also, would 7j fit under the arches without any modification. I've been trawling through blog after blog and some people have been fine, others have had to fettle with their arches to cover the tread of the rear.

Haha clearly :P In my opinion 13 inch alloys go really well with a big old slam!! 80mm+.

Thanks for the reply, If i was going t get 15's. 195/45 would of been my choice of tyre. Found quite a few lovely wheels online. Wheels, tyres and fitting kit for under £500.

Hi all, I've recently fitted HOL 60mm springs on my micra, its transformed the look of my car and i'm really pleased. However after having them fitted my sprayed steelies just aren't doing it for me anymore, therefore I'm after some alloys. After a load of looking on the web, I have a few...

As Agent Smith says, there are 2 different types for the 3 door k11. One for rear opening windows which is the one you have purchased. Also there is one which is meant for fixed rear windows which do not open. For this type you need a roof rack which has 2 mounts on either side of the drivers...

Theres a place in swindon called platinum alloy wheel solutions who ive seen. I'm a big fan of fast car magazine. And a few of their staff members have had work there and been very impressed. Hope this helps :)

Loving the coke can :P
