Alloys and Lowering

Post by RB26 »

Im picking up a Fiesta on Tuesday and i want to fit alloys to it. Ive never modified a car in anyway before so have no idea about anything atm. Basically im undecided whether 16"or17" alloys look better? and if i fit alloys, will i need to lower the car?

Which kit is ford approved as ford want £178 for the springs!

anyone know what dealers are approved to fit the kit?
2010 Panther Black Zetec S - Street Pack, Bluetooth, iPod, voice control.

Detailing? its a way of life not just a car wash!

Eibach pro kit are the springs you want, go on ebay, theres some on there for about £140 plus postage. I've fitted a set of hel braided hoses to mine as well, about £70 direct from hel for a fully stainless kit (even the banjos), they're f&@kin' superb and only took about an hour to change including bleeding them up
