Hi all,,,,,,,joined the forum about a month ago, joined the club 2 days ago...i think?? thought i would get my arse on here and say hi cos there are gonna be questions dear fellows....
bought a 1.0 inspiration facelift with 52000 on the clock....first mod was to take the drivers seat out and cut it off the subframe, then re-weld it back three inches so i could fit nice and comfy,,,next mod was to remove hub caps...thats it...
well i have just bought matiz shocks for the front and corsa shocks for the rear,,,to be fitted this weekend,,,,do have a question about the matiz shocks though...how far down are people dropping the perch bearing in mind that this is my daily drive? do want it low but practically low.
will post pics soon ..
thanks all...

Thats nice and low....whats it like as a daily drive?...I have taken rear seat out so its a 2 seater sports car according to my son, so I dont need to worry about to much weight...

I dont drive it my mum does lol. Ive been in it a lot tho and its not a harsh ride tbf, feels like it corners quite nice too but on full lock the tyres rub the arch when hitting a bump :/. Frank runs the same set up, he can tell you what it properly drives like :)
