RED K11 JAE OR BUST

I crash every evening on the way home from work. And twice in the morning on the way in. It's getting a bit tiresome now after several years of it.
me too mark, i think i,d better take the £10 oem spec alto springs off, and fit some modified £150 chinese made coilies on instead
 
When I actually hear of someone who's had a set of cheap coilovers be the cause of a car crash, then I'll stop modding cheap stuff :p
Having had a bit of experience working with engineers from china now and some of the newer engineering stuff in general china is putting out, they REALLY don't deserve the flack anymore...
 
Just went for a long 2 hour drive the rear is so much more responsive, body roll is reduced well worth the buy just gta do the front one now but a wee surprise arrives tomorrow :p and I can't wait
 
well whilst at work the chef said they heard something out back and to my surprise it was 2 youths trying to kick my wing mirrors off...livid
the culprits shoe print
.
managed to snap one into place again needs the mirror holder to be glued onto the surround but the other one is gubbed
 
Pathetic bunch of wastes of space. Nothing better to do except ruin other peoples things.
Why dont they go get a job instead of wandering around wasting precious oxygen for us decent people

If I had a spare wing mirror you'd be welcome to it

There's light in everything they say.
Yea I bet. I'd of been chasing em down and I can guarantee I'd of run em over.
Jealousy is a bitch... wait til someone kicks their wing mirrors off their car... it angers.me
 
i know where they stay though they live right across the road from work its in an area aswell where if u did tht to the wrong car youd end up at the bottom of a river tied to a brick

If you get em... get new shocks. Then you've springs to buy.. buy that point you may as well buy a polo/corsa coilover kit
 
just a quick question i know the rear alto springs give a 50mm drop on the front but what does it give on the rear( if they can go on the rear too) and what year of alto do i look for?
 
about the same drop, but you may as well just cut the stock ones (you need shorter shocks either way)
and same era alto as k11

ive got a 2002 model so around the same alto?....rather get new alto springs, hopefully getting low this week, and im not a big fan of cut springs....yet
 
i think the alto springs are slightly barrel shaped post 05 ish, best to check for pic,s on ebay or google image
