Pretty standard to be honest

(mates saxo btw)
 
Just a wee update from the last time i posted a few pictures up, couldn't get it proplerly cleaned with the way the weather is over in ireland atm so it had to do, let me know what you think and what to head for next, thx

seen you the other day pricey you should have stopped still yet to get talking to you, that megane splitter is there but its in bad shape altho its your's if you still want it.













Just what i started off with lol

 
nex - never thought of that before would u just go from the top of each bumper and miss part of the arch or do the curved part of the arch and just level it off with the height of the bumpers thx,

ems - not to sure how much its lowered altho they started off 35mm springs, seems coilovers don't take the back down that much so didn't want to waste the money on them, they are 15" rims just with 45 profile tyres apprently u can't get lower on 15's lol
 
i didn't think it was possible to buy anything other than 35mil drop springs, but you have nothing to worry about mine are missing a few coils with uprated and shortened kyb gas shocks to make up for it, scary how well it handles haha.

i'd go straight myself, but you could fit black golf arches :D i think nissan did some black arches for the micra too but i think they were for the face lift, either way i probably have both types in my shed lol


EDIT:

changed my mind, go straight across, did a photochop it looks mint :D

Nex - Thanks for the photochop it certainly looks different and can just be done with vinyl which would be handy, been wanting golf arches awhile now along with the super s spoiler but have never got round to it,

djlee - i added you to msn there but just incase it never worked add me on micra_dave at hotmail.co.uk and everyone too would be nice to get talking to you's,

Thanks guys that means alot coming from who know's best, i'll have to get the inside cleaned up to show you's altho there ain't much to show ha ha.
 
Tis a very nice Micra, Rocking_Rota :grinning: Loving the alloys something cronic!

I'm thinking clear indicators might sort her out a little....
 
That's rather low Rocking....!

However, did you say they 'were' 35mm drop springs? so they've been chopped down quite a bit? I'm not sure that's something that I would want to do, but if it works.....it works.
 
i took two "coils" off my springs last night, (eiback 35mm) and they dont look any lower, and were just as hard to put back in...lol
 
cheers micra fish, all our cars started off just like yours so get dug into it so we can see what your up to,

all springs are made differently so not sure how many you will have to take off, i didn't go past 2 coils till i had my gas shocks because i didn't think my old shocks would have been up to it, just be careful because you can't put them back on if you go too far lol
 
yeah true. i chopped two off then put em back in, and the full stroke of the bilstein shocks when bolted in still compresses the springs. so if i keep taking off half a coil at a time untill the no longer compress the springs they should be as low as they can be...

cool..
 
Very nice Super S!

Mine has now been cleaned and coming along nicely, got some new bits and pieces to go on soon :)

Edit: Is it actually safe to chop springs? I always thought it was dangerous...
 
it is perfectly safe to chop springs, as long as the spring rate is correct, (ie stiff) and the stroke of the shock doesnt allow the spring to jump out of its mountings, also as long as they are chopped the same each side...

asked my dad (works as a vehicle examiner for VOSA) and he said its fine as long as they dont cause anything to be loose or have any adverse effects on the handling of the car...


i wont cut the fronts cos theyre low enough.... just the rears..
 
heres my car as it sat last night, and im running round like a blue assed fly trying to get it done today for jae... GRRR
