Artwork Lowered the FN2 today

Stu_Fraser · 22nd April 2012, 18:54

The rain held off today so I managed to get my Eibachs fitted. I went for the 30mm drop from ABP. They were pretty straightforward to fit, the only issue I had was getting the drop links off (had to use a hacksaw). I'm over the moon with how the car looks now and the ride is totally transformed. Anyway here's some pics

Before

After

Oh also fitted some fog light covers from Wanner69, these are great

Looks great! Can't wait to get mine done!

gregorwilson · 22nd April 2012, 18:57

Excellent job! Looks amazing!

Stu_Fraser · 22nd April 2012, 19:01

Thanks fellas, forgot to upload this one. Shows the drop better

Jorah · 22nd April 2012, 19:04

Just need to paint the callipers

RevMonkey · 22nd April 2012, 19:10

That looks great

. Coding my wheels black next, and then a gp kit, just had my bonnet and roof carbon wrapped.

Did you upgrade the drop links or replaced with honda ones?

I got replacements from my local motor parts shop, 40 quid for the pair as opposed to oem Honda ones which are nearer 50 quid each

Cheers bud, yep looking forward to it

Looks badass, Stu. Liking the GP kit, rims and tints, too. Works really well in Silver

I've just placed my order with MSW for the 25mm kit. Good to know it wasn't too tough to fit. I'm gonna pick up some drop links while I'm waiting for them to turn up.

How's the ride comfort with the 30's compared to stock?

Warwick1984 · 22nd April 2012, 19:41

Looks good! When I did mine I had a problem with the droplinks. Took the Ngle grinder to them - the actual spring change was straightforward apart from that! FRS Is all you will need for the. Imports transformation.

Looks superb Stu - really liking the 30mm drop!

Good idea, they're probably in need of replacement and means you can just have at them without worrying when they fail to come off nicely

Thanks fella, it's probably best to get new drop links instead of fannying on trying to get the old ones off, especially considering they don't cost much. You can get them even cheaper off eBay, I just needed them urgently
