[Ds3norwich]

Been lowered?

[Gazski66]

Looks very good, did you put the splitter at the bottom of the plastic trim?

[Eaton_Swfc]

Looks good that pal .

Were painting the calipers a faff?

[dsratz]

Thanks guys, yes it has been lowered by 35mm all round.

Gaz, i fixed it towards the top of the rubber strips as it's been lowered then trimmed off the excess.

Painting the calipers wasn't too bad, just need a bit of patience.

Looks good

[dsratz]

Cheers Beefy!

Looks very good in combination with lowering!
Green calipers look good too. Wouldn't have the patience for that.

[Eaton_Swfc]

Which springs did you use for lowering ?

[Chris_Blue]

looks good dsratz- did you use a lacquer/clear coat on the calipers?

[dsratz]

Eaton, i used Spax ssx Lowering springs from demon tweeks http://goo.gl/yz6jFZ

Cheers Chris, I haven't lacquered them yet as the decals take a couple of days to cure but i will before i use the pressure washer!

[Chris_Blue]

Havent ever lacquered mine, but repaint them every time the wheels are swapped, probably 3 or 4 times a year (A swap coming up in a week or 2)
Not sure what the benefits of a lacquer/clear coat are, so uncertain as to do it or not

I do like the colour of them calipers, very nice

[dsratz]

The e tech paint i used had a pot of lacquer/hardener which you mixed in with the paint so i suppose technically i have.

I'm going to lacquer over the decals to stop them coming off under a pressure washer
