what did you use for lowering? just springs?

 

[2004_Micra]

yeah i did

 

[tse_adam]

and you managed to lower by 50mm? what brand is that if you dont mind me asking?

the best one i could find is 30mm which is nothing.

New set of 15's as the 17's were scrubbing the back arches.

you should have stayed with 17s, the gap is re-appearing with 15s on. thats exactly whats happening with mine, i doubt it has lowered your car by 50mm by the looks of it. a very nice example nevertheless.

as far as i know Koni and Eibach do 30mm drop only.

my car looks much betta now that was when i first put the alloys on. uve got to give it time to settle in (some how). it looks miles better now but i'll get sum pics up 2moro once ive give it a wash and show u the difference. thanks for the compliment m8

alloys are nice and so is the twins lol!!!

I also have the Eibach 50 mm spring kit.

measured difference.

Rear went down 52 mm
Front went down 55 mm

For some reason the 50 mm sportline kit is not listed in the new UK catalogue
but it's in the European Catalogue & has been since 2005 as thats when i bough my set imported from Germany as UK dealers said they didn't exist as they couldn't be bothered to phone the factory

hi Napster, yeah it is a standard spoiler comes with the SX's.

any problem with speed bumps after you have lowered the car?

 

[andyseadog]

get your front indicator grilles off, (3 clips) then remove the indicator lens (2 screws) and give it a coat of black shoe polish and refit, 10 minutes work... i did mine over a year ago and it still hasn't worn off, its a nice subtle mod for your front end and if you already have black shoe polish its virtually free
see mine below

sweet looking car though mate, need to get the remains of that micra badge polished off though

 

[jim_bling]

not sure if he still has this car any more

not sure if he still has this car any more

thats a shame looked as though it would made a decent k12 out of that!

 

[jaulimsing]

how easy was strut brace to fit?
