All this talk bout lowering has made me ask myself the question...

I wonder if anyone has ever airbagged a woo??

IMHO that would be absolutely tits having a bagged lanos hatch with a fresh pair of white 17"s tucked right in the guards
*drool*

Those are on my wishlist...

Lenso Light s2 only weigh 7kgs in 17"

Lenso, like.. tenzo, only more timid, with an l and a s instead of the t and z.

Don't like big wheels, never really have, wouldnt go over 16" wheels, but the weight factor of those wheels is nice. My fanblade weigh about a tonne per corner

yes there have been Lanos' bagged. I seen pics of it and it rode very low. I can't seem to remember who it was tho.

HAHA
And with white wheels as well

!!!!

Shame its that shitty maroon colour though...

Must admit though, that is a good looking lanos. The only things letting it down is the colour and the older style tail lights, also the lack of handbrake... would he have to carry those bricks around everywhere??

I have a feeling they are of the same parentage, but don't quote me on that. All I know is that Lenso is kind of like the budget racing wheel in Australia, but of better quality than the cheap knock off "Vork/Ravs" (Volk/Rays, TE37 copies).

Makes me LOL when I see on eBay... "Genuine Vork racing wheels !!!11!"

Lmao, nice pic. And i think that colours nice. Reminds me of the colour the Champion edition mk2 astras were. Dont get me wrong i'd prefere some other colours over that, but it's still nice.

I think on that car, it's just conflict of colours...
If the wheels didn't have that blue anodized part it would look ok

daewoomofo · Post by **daewoomofo** » Thu May 22, 2008 9:16 am

its a hell of a lot easier to change the blue than it is to change the maroon (and have it look good) i kinda dig the maroon to be honest

2000 quid

I'll stick to my Jamex 60mm springs and kyb shortened shocks xD

daewoomofo · Post by **daewoomofo** » Sat May 24, 2008 12:19 am

woohoo long week end.

i wish i could get the rear of my car to sit lower, the front is nice but the back is like a montser truck woo. i know if i got new springs i could, but i already have the eibachs and i dont want to spend a bunch of money on a new set of springs just for the rears. i could cut them but that is a BIG no no. any one have any affordable ideas?

Pir0 · Post by **Pir0** » Sat May 24, 2008 1:15 am

Define affordable? Try and source a set of second hand springs? Cutting them's definatly affordable lol. I would never recommend that though, but if you do, make sure you shave a bit off the bottom and tops off the spring to make it sit flat again. Cutting them really affects the way they coil though.

There's sets of 60mm springs for astras going for 50-80 quid on uk ebay like. Thats affordable. THey're Jamex too, not a bad make. Not as reputable as eibach, but at the end of the day, a springs a spring lol.

daewoomofo · Post by **daewoomofo** » Sat May 24, 2008 1:24 am

like i said cutting is out of the question. and with me being in the usa it would cost a fortune to get those springs from the uk, but thanks for the ideas. as far as affordable, if it was some thing like shorter shocks or a different way to mount the springs, id love to do that.
