Pics after coil spring conversion.Warning,big pics !
« on: July 20, 2005, 20:09:12 »
hi all,heres some pics now i have finished the conversion from air suspension to coil springs.I got a 2" lift kit complete with pro comp dampers.Its a straight forward conversion and im well happy with it.I also fitted some BFG MT's,235 85 16.I haven't needed to trim the arches neither even after some off road playing.
heres some pics





found a big hill !!




oops,lost an end cap,found it later  in a bush !







Hope you like the pics.

Hmmm< I like the look of those boots under your car, I went for 235/70 R16 (albeit remoulds) and they don't quite fill the arches the same way.  How do you find the handling now?  Do you notice any loss in power?

no loss in power although i have noticed if you turn sharp or too sharp at speed the tyres seem to twist a bit before turning,so steering feels a bit strange but im used to it now.But then the steering maybe because of the 2" lift.

That size tyre at 60 mph the speedo will read 56.4 mph so at least i cant get done for speeding as it over reads rather than under.

The steering could be a bit stuffed up because you've lost the castor angle at the front.
The speedo, it's telling you you're doing 56 when you're doing 60 surely? so watch out for the speeding cameras.  BTW that''s illegal you know.  It may be possible to correct by changing the speedoe driven gear in the T-Box housing.

hi jonny,
thanks for your kind comments.I have also just put on a steering guard and i too cant fit the bull bar back on  #-o

Getting used to it not being on now but i think it looked better before.Also i have removed the front spoiler.I didn't want to remove this but i have smashed 2 of them now off roading and i aint buying another.

I have taken my spoiler off too, just for off roading but as yet havent got round to puting it back on! will do soon though! I have been thinking about the bull bars and I think I might have a go at grinding off the mounting plates and relocating them to fit on the outside of the chasie not sure how good my welding is though but its either that or get rid of them. If you do decide to get rid of yours do you fancy selling me your light gard grills? mine have rotted away and could do with some more. let me see if I can weld the brackets first though!   ](*,)
