Cheers Yorkie,
It would be nice to close the wheel arch gap a little but tbh I'm happy with how the car rides on the current SE suspension, and then there's the expense. Never say never though :wink:
 
Have you got standard springs on your Zed Marlon? I have on mine, at the moment. Ive held off on the spacers, as I think it highlights the ride height quite a lot.

Also if you have any side on photos with the spacers on, that would be cool. Looks great on the pics so far! :thumbsup:

I had the same thought which got me always hesitant to install spacers for my SE ride.
However the results on your car Marlon seem better than expected so I may be tempted to give it a try now! And in the worst case, that will force me to buy new shocks & springs once for all :D

BTW, what size and brand did you get, Marlon?
 
Now that looks very nice Marlon.

Can I ask, will this affect your insurance as it's a mod?

Would they need to know is what I'm basically asking :wink:

My Zed is an SE so not the lower sports suspension. I prefer the ride in the SE - I found my previous Zed with sports suspension too hard. That said, the lower ride height on the sports suspension does look better. I will post up some side shots over the weekend so you can get an idea, but I think the spacer really help fill the wheel arch.

Thanks mate, in answer to your question I don't know.

Cheers buddy. It does look far better with the spacers. Is there any arch rub that you have noticed?

Here's a couple of side shots you asked for:
There's no arch rub - one advantage of the SE suspension I guess :)

Looks much better Marlon, after seeing Stuarts, I'm thinking about doing the same. :thumbsup:
 
Looking good Marlon.
Did you use locking wheel nuts with these? I take it the standard ones are too short to fit.
I suppose that poses the question, what do folks use when fitting spacers/wheels with different offset?

Thanks MACK.
The Spacers come with a set of non-locking longer wheel nuts.
