FRSJON :car looks awesome ...got me wanting some mondy wheels in black now...

The mondys will be for sale when i got my std alloys sorted with new tyres. I'm fed up with massive wheels with silly profile tyres. Coilovers might go as well. The roads i use are too harsh for a slammed ride height.

My exhaust keeps taking a beating and the suspension bottoms out when a big dip comes up.

by **Brammer** on Sat Jun 02, 2007 4:21 pm

can you not higher the ride height then fit the standard rims and get the perfect ride height around -30/40mm

IS THIS ANY GOOD FOR YOU MATE???

by **knuckles** on Sat Jun 02, 2007 4:32 pm

I will try to raise it first before thinking of standard shocks.

That wheel would be nice to add to my collection, i will see how it goes on ebay.

Thanks fella

by **jayrs** on Sat Jun 02, 2007 6:58 pm

by **FRSJON** on Sat Jun 02, 2007 9:30 pm

by **jayrs** on Sat Jun 02, 2007 10:16 pm

i keeps asking that, lol

by **knuckles** on Mon Jun 04, 2007 6:31 pm

Tried on one Rs alloy today after failing to raise the coilovers. I need 2 rear coilover shocks or refurb the pair.

Looking it at like that though, the rs wheels look SO small ! :lol:

The green side strips need to go on to make the Rs wheels look more suitable.

What does everyone think ?
Knuckles :oooh:

by **Brammer** on Mon Jun 04, 2007 6:41 pm

I gaurentee it will look aewsome with those rims and the greens :bonkers:

by **Sphinx** on Mon Jun 04, 2007 7:08 pm

I preffer the black wheels :oooh:

by **jayrs** on Mon Jun 04, 2007 7:23 pm

i think you should first off put the wheel chock at the front of the wheel :lol:

na you know my thoughts mate.
did you get the rears sorted?

by **knuckles** on Mon Jun 04, 2007 7:32 pm

knuckles :after failing to raise the coilovers. I need 2 rear coilover shocks or refurb the pair.

No i didnt - rear coilovers both have to come off. Need to hack saw the 2 bolts on the top hats on both sides then remove and refurb. The drivers rear shock has been leaking fluid all in the arch.

Couldnt release the 2 locking cogs to raise susspension. :cry:

by **Brammer** on Mon Jun 04, 2007 8:06 pm

Are coil overs really all that???? they seem to need reconning quite regularly, i would much prefer to stick with the conventional Koni/spax sport kits which seem to be upto the job.

by **jayrs** on Mon Jun 04, 2007 10:02 pm

cant complain about my avos, but i got them mainly as i wanted 17's, but fitted 17's then 10 mins later and no more than 4-6 meters of driving, removed the 17's and sold them the very next day :lol:

but i like mine

by **knuckles** on Mon Jun 04, 2007 11:00 pm

I like the ride quality with the coilovers - holds the road well. I have enquired for a price for 2 new gaz rear coilovers.

The ones i have are spax rsx coilovers. I dont know if they offer a refurb service :-?

yea, cheers :lol:

If this is going to go standard standard, the graphics have to go!

by **knuckles** on Mon Jun 04, 2007 11:58 pm

I will remove the sun strip soon :cry:

by **Max M4X WW** on Tue Jun 05, 2007 12:10 am

I know i know, but it is a bit dated now and did only really suit the car as it was before for some reason.

Bit cool though lol

by **knuckles** on Tue Jun 05, 2007 1:39 am

Thanks buddy

should be looking fairly familiar by ford fair

by **Rusey** on Tue Jun 05, 2007 7:41 am

Knuckles - dont suppose on the offie you were in Ipswich y'day??

I saw a white RS parked up London Road, black gti's looked a spitter to yours :-?

by **knuckles** on Tue Jun 05, 2007 10:24 pm

nah mate wasnt me -

They are mondeo alloys not gti's

by **Ghost** on Tue Jun 05, 2007 10:53 pm

sunstrip 'will' be going

by **jayrs** on Tue Jun 05, 2007 11:06 pm

na, leave it on and fit a cossie bumper again, you know it makes sense :lol:

by **knuckles** on Tue Jun 05, 2007 11:12 pm

Ghost :sunstrip 'will' be going

I let you pull it off, i dont have the will power to do it :cry:

by **doggpk** on Wed Jun 06, 2007 1:45 am

i prefer the black wheels but will look good with the rs wheels when u put the green strips back on.

by **knuckles** on Wed Jun 06, 2007 3:46 pm

2 down , 2 to go :lol:

Another eBay steal. I'm disappointed that the new left center cap does not match both of the new wheels. Someone at ford obviously can't colour match. The center cap on the right matches perfectly with both alloys.

2 new gaz coilovers is nearly £270 so i think that's out the window for now :rolleyes:

by **Mish** on Wed Jun 06, 2007 4:51 pm

I like it better with the black ones on...

Those 3 spoke rims were not one of Ford's defining moments in history!

by **~nomad~** on Wed Jun 06, 2007 7:26 pm

Mish :
Those 3 spoke rims were not one of Ford's defining moments in history!

they so were. Get em back on

That colour match is crap! Damn ford monkeys!

I will have the suspension off the trackcar going soon mate, better than coilovers for road usage.
