Phillip's little Red (Marco)

I have RE003s on my car, very nice to drive on, but I went up to 55 profile - the speedo is spot on accurate, but I reckon they're too heavy...

Hmmmmmm rear spacers you say. I'll look into that, depending what wheels end up moving it around

I had these spacers made - they go between the stub axle and the rear beam so are permanently installed rather than spacers that go between the wheel and hub...

Awesome. Do you have any pictures on how the wheels sit in relation to the body?

I'll take one for you - I'll see if I can take it from the same angle as yours. I made the spacers in 3/8" and 1/2" so it pushes the wheel out that far. I have the 3/8" version fitted. The difference between spacers and ordinary wheel spacers isn't huge, but theoretically these put less load on the wheel bearings, they're lighter and definitely cheaper

I did it to make the track wider for handling, but it does look cool - the difference really stood out when I dropped the car on the ground after putting them in.

I have a set of lowering springs (~30mm drop I think?) that are surplus. Sam sold them to me for cheap, happy to pass them on

Yes do the LCA rear bushes, I did. Delete the air pump too. Mine has been a lot better on fuel since it was done. Computer showed 4.7 recently. Downhill lol

Mine has had the 17's on it since I got it in 2010, but I have never been pleased with the 40 profile rough as heck ride. And as Gav said 18's are not suitable, I am leaning on going back to OEM wheels if I can get a reasonable set of 4. Ohh you have a set!!! on Marco!

So as Markos' owner, if you do change from OEM wheels please give me the 1st option to buy them off you?

Cheers Al

Sure thing. I acknowledge your 'dibs' call

Nice. If you're interested in a H&R front sway bar I have a brand new one here that's available.

Front stabilizer bar is pig to install!

picture for you... the back wheels are just pushed out a bit compared to standard

Oooooooh - I like it. A bit lower than mine too.

I'll have to add that to my growing list of projects

How much you after for the lowering springs?
