Coming along nicely that is, look forward to seeing the finished article. :cheers:

With so much work going into it Im surprised you chose to skimp on the lower arms though tbh?

I think i understand the bit about having the cash to buy a flash motor & choosing the more fun option, but would of thought the arms would of been higher on your list for quality?

I usually waste these bloody things anyway, I manage to keep my balance high because i dont just buy the best right of the bat, to be completely honnest i just needed something "Better" than the twisted and trash ones already on the car.

 

These will more than likely be changed again when the car has been resprayed, as i love being able to take my wheels off and polish my shocks/inner wheels etc :) I'm a serious neat freak and cant wait to have a 100% Shiney as new car :) lol

205s is an interesting choice, can i ask why? rather than the standard 195 profile

 

Well my old escort was rolling on 205-50-15's and it seemed to have a better grip, its the logical answer in my opinion, Wider Tyre = More Ground Contact = More Grip :) or thats how i worked it out anyway :P lol id go with 215's but they wont fit in the arches properly, tried one of my 17's on and it fouls on the rear arch.

 

Update with pics coming up later :)
