Lower than a snakes belly in a wheel rut

[lusid666]

just installed my TA Technics coil overs.

Rears done



Fronts done


Might be a little too low as I cant quite get my trollie jack under the front but going to leave it a few days to settle in then I'll raise it up a bit

The coilovers have made a major difference to the way she handles, she now feels like a touring car :grin:

Damn thats pretty low :grin:

Looks a bit too low.... looks like youve also pushed the wheels in towards the car... get some spacers on them lol

 

[lusid666]

Spacers are a good idea but the next thing to sort on her has got to be the ABS, I know its one of the front sensors playing up but need to work out which one

 

[Neil]

Your number plate is quite appropriate considering the rear arches :lol:

 

[Sparx]

:-D

looks good mate have u modified the front inner arch? otherwise your tyres gna get blown!!! how much lower with the rear go on the coilover? geting mine this week! where did u order yours from? dan

 

[lusid666]

Rear arches are on my things to do list a d fronts are unmodified. Plenty of clearance around the 15"s and no rubbing

 

[Bobby4Puma]

How much they cost u?

 

[lusid666]

£359 and about another £30 for the new top mounts

I found them on the tatechnix website 399 euro plus 30 shipping so its about the same

looks sweet as m8 wanted to do this to mine for ages, the coily kits are so dear tho, the cheapest kits on ebay are 379, i assume they wouldnt include the top mounts? are puma's fork or eye mounted?

 

[josh andrews]

The rear of a puma looks SO much better low! i knew it would

Early Pumas fork mounted, later Pumas eye mounting

 

[josh andrews]

'T' 99 is that an early one? mine was in mid line production considering started production in 97 'R' and the puma finished in 02 so 99 is in the middle lol

 

[quest63]

Mine was built Oct 99 iirc, on a V, I have the later axle.

Mind you that doesnt exclude it having started life with an earlier axle :-D

iirc one member put an earlier axle on a later car probably to suit some bargain coilovers

 

[danbrush]

are you guys using your helper springs? ive just put my ta technix coilovers to the bottom and still huge arch gap at the front im on 195/50 15s

 

[lusid666]

yep using the helper springs and i'm on the same tyres as you

 

[danbrush]

ah ok ,my fronts are at the bottom and stil big arch gap,my issue is i have the NS at about 23mm left on the thread,and OS completely on the bottom but the car sits the opposite,tyre is almost in arch on NS rear but OS is way off

 

[new_puma]

Nice, what shade is that brown? I've been looking everywhere for it but couldn't find it...So i soaked my arches in salt and vinegar for 3 days
