you could possibly make your subframe into a beam and chop the little sections that hold the cones out and mount the coned sections you chopped out to the bootfloor maybe

i might have to carbonise my boot floor at a later date, its just steel at the mo.

i hate minispares!!!

ordered my front coil over brackets with some other bits and pieces all said it was in stock.

got an email t'other day, "brackets arent in stock, what do you want to do?"

i told them to send the stuff thats in stock and put the brackets on back order, that was on tuesday.

nothings turned up, the b@stards! now ill have to wait till next week...

its so annoying because i need the little bits and pieces to carry on with anything...

just needed to get that out. rant over.

how big are the spacers?

They're 1 inch spacers - I was told that's what was needed for the wheels to clear the coilovers.

On postage, I'm unsure as yet (I'll check as soon as I can), but I can't imagine theme being much as they're actually quite light - the studs weigh more than the spacers. If you want to wait til your fronts are ready, then that's fine, just PM me when your ready for them and we'll go from there.


I'll PM you postage costs when I've found out. Speak soon.

Any update mate

[$way]

not really, hubs are all built up with calipers pads etc. just need bolts for the disc to drive flange.

i havent been able to do anything this week becuase im in college mon-fri 9-6 doing a composites course,

will be rebuilding the driveshafts with all new grease and boots at the weekend then i can get them in the hubs.

wont be on wheels at the front until ive got my coilover brakcets from MS, they are on back order so ive no idea when to expect them...

also shopping around for tyre fitters, any recommended?

bit of an update,

rebuilt the driveshafts with new grease and new boots, bolted it all up to the hub and bolted both set ups onto the car.

put the wheels on and looking at it i might have to run some wider arches than i'd of liked but hey ho might look better low and wider.

ill get osme picture up 2moro.

[$way]

here are the assemblies on both sides, just need disc bolts and hoses then they're all done.





heres a better picture of the fiesta set up under the weller.



here what i meant about it being wider than i'd ve liked but should look pretty mean.
