Slammed K11's

[karlj]

Lets have a bit of fun and find who on here has the lowest k11

Rules are..

1. Must have a recent pic
2. Must state current setup (which includes wheel/tyre size)
3. Measurements must be from the center of the wheel arch to the ground (level ground)
4. Measurements must be done front and rear

I would start but the missus has the car

 

[Jay101]

Ha, I would but don't have my wheels on.!

 

[Elonexx]

iwas looking forward to this!

 

[Jay101]

This will also be good information to cross reference set ups . (I'm just subscribing to the thread )

 

[sr_steve]

got a feeling skymera might win this

 

[Jay101]

got a feeling skymera might win this

Agreed!

 

[Dougyledds]

I havnt got measurements! lol

But i can sort a picture and setup

Corsa b coilovers on the front with helpers out, Corsa b struts on the back with micra lowering springs cut in half

Would like to be lower on the back but need 6n coilovers

Heres a comparison to mine and Mottys

Unsure what his setup is

Was gonna say frank, how could you even turn corners and don't say with your steering wheel!

He could turn, just might rub a little

 

[solarice]

[Finto_GX]

Nope you get an angle grinder to the springs quickly

 

[jk9194]

[solarice]

Give you the perfect excuse to get some done.

Can you still get D2's?

 

[karlj]

Would be rude not to put mine up

front stock matiz shocks and springs 22-1/4 inch

rear corsa b shocks, HOL 80mm k11 springs 21-3/4 inch

Wheels and tyres are 13x6 185/60

 

[solarice]

Yeah, will have to wash it first though lol. I not sure if you can still get them, but if you can i've no idea on price.

 

[karlj]

Don't worry about washing it, I never

I doubt I'll ever bother with coil overs again, they're great if you want different setups for track or whatever but for a daily I'll stick with springs
