Should handle and look fantastic ready for the summer. 👍 Yup and the update on the detailers social media says it’s about to commence (though I think my car may be of the lowest value he’s done by a factor of 10 or so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh those tw*ts! Don't let me get on my soap box but if most cars were to go over some of those at 30mph there would be some serious damage.

My car now can’t really get over them at all, even at crawling pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliveH Posted April 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 My S4 is also lowered and struggles with those stupid speed bumps too but "one wheel up" at crawling pace is OK in both cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MH82 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 The road doesn’t really lend itself to that sadly. Will just have to take a different route. Or the wife’s car - which to be fair is quicker down that particular road anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 I upped the sizes on Molly 225>235 and 265>275 This gave a 6mm lift to the chassis whilst also reducing the arch gap by the same. That helped me get on my dropped kerb driveway :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That helped me get on my dropped kerb driveway That's a 4.0/3.5 mm lift not 6.00 😁 Standard 987's always look to me like they sit too high compared to the 986. I think the compensation plates on top of the springs are much thicker ( 15 mm or so) which might explain the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MH82 Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Getting there. May not be back to me before the weekend though. Why do they have to look so much better without a front plate. Damn UK rules! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there N rated tyres available in 275/35? 18 hours ago, PaulQ said: That's a 4.0/3.5 mm lift not 6.00 I agree, assuming a 35 profile. 20 hours ago, PaulQ said: Standard 987's always look to me like they sit too high compared to the 986. Exactly the point of this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 The fronts were still available as Ns the rears you needed to go to 285 to get the N rating. That was a tad too close to the suspension for my liking (986) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliveH Posted April 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 I thought as much. I'm already on 235s on the front and no doubt 245s are not available as N rated. 255 front and 285 rear would add 7mm, which could be a tad too much.

MH82 Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Car finally back from the detailers. the guy has put a bunch of pictures on Facebook if anyone wants to see the full info - just look up DesignByDetail though the centre caps and locking wheel nuts have been put in the wrong place.......
