18's without lowering ???

[joeishmather]

When im home, lol
Hopefully it'll stop raining!!

On a side note, do you get better handling from your lowering setup? also did you fit it yourself?

[Anthony]

Yes cornering speeds have greatly increased and i've not even had it tracked yet. And yes I did fit it myself.

[joeishmather]

I'll do some more if you want when it's dry, got soaked!lol

I would like to lower it, and don't get me wrong I think it will look better lowered, I don't think it's nessasary tho, still looks good imo, n from comments I've had other ppl think so to!

ye mate looks good i seen other meganes that had not been lowered and it looked ridiculous but is looks fine and yeah if you could take some more pictures id like to see them

[joeishmather]

Any smaller than 18 without lowering and you can't get away with it... 18's tho I think are fine, and at the end of the day, you can always lower at a later date..

Dont crash n don't tell them...

thats 1 way of going about it do you think if the worst came to the worst and i did crash they would know it had been lowered if i put a clame im and how much space do you think there is between the tyre and the arches on you megane ? just trying to get an idea of what it would be like on 18's not being lowered also do u think it would look better or worse with 19's not lowered ?

[joeishmather]

I would imagine the ride would be worse with 19's as profile of the tyre would be lower, at the end of the day tho the overall size including tyre is going to be the same if you want to keep the speedo the same, do you know what I mean??

Also when I was 17 an old man came onto my side of the road crashed head on with me, my car was modded, I just got the value of the car as standard,Which I expected.. it wasn't seen as increasing the power of the car or anything like that so they didn't care...

ye see what you mean spose it s not really guna take up much more space in wheel arches and yeah thats what i heard that they pay out the standard price of the car
the alloys im thinking of getting are the fox fx004 they do come in 4 stud but it doesnt say on any sites the offset of them or if the fitment is 4x100 do you know how i could find this out ?
