    Arrow Anyone got a photo - ultra lows, 14" rims

    I'd like to see what a nice low suspension setup would look like over my tiny rims. I'll get 18s eventually but at the moment extractors and suspension are on the list first.

    I'll get new brakes (VT spec I think) with the 18s, so that's going to be an expensive upgrade... don't really want to lump suspension in there as well.

    I'm looking at a full Whiteline kit when I do get the suspension done.

    Cheers
    Sam

    Thanks for the quick reply - I reckon it should look alright.

    My suspension is generally shot after 390,000km or so . . . figured I'd replace it all with some far better gear.

    you'll need the rims first, as the brakes won't fit with the 14's (15's minimum)
    also make sure you get the 1 inch master cylinder with your brakes as the v6 one won't cut it.
    and finally (this is my opinion), leave the lowering till last so you can then decide once you've got the rims on, how low you really want to go

    Talking

    mmm. Something tells me the fronts aren't 14"s. Think I might do the suspension first anyway, regardless of looks it's rooted and I want new gear.

    Extractorating it first though

    hmm. got a bit to fix on the VN before suspension comes my way, so it could be a while... little things, but they really need attention....

    they do fit the car well - in terms of making them look almost classic

    I'll do the suspension before the wheels and see how everything goes. like I said though, probably not until next year..... unfortunately...
