Friday five:

Finally a few pics but for some reason upside down.

I'm really happy with how they look.

Still can't decide if I like these (rather than the directionals)... they're a bit scuffed, but half the price of a new set of IND-T's!

We featured this car a few pages back, but now it returns with the OZs painted white:

I think the white looks awesome, I just don't think I would have thr the guts to go that way myself. Can you imagine the cleaning 😩

But it's not wagon Wednesday!!!!

Do you have your old wheels in the back? Looks like you're a bit lower in the back than front.

[shauno]

Yup, 4 wheels & tyres in the boot - they're out now, looks more even

I've still got my Eibach spring to go in, that'll lower it a bit too

Agreed, that's come up well - the grey on white is a combo that definitely works.

Even with an opticoat or similar you'd still be wanting to wipe after every drive - no thanks!

It's about time people did - well done.

.. why the sale of springs?!

I'd still take it in black, one of the rare wheels I would:

We've seen all these before, but always nice to revisit some low action:

Ay, there's the rub!

No, really - the more aggressive offset with fat Michelin PSS just rubbed on mid-corner bumps, fender screw mod is done & has solved that - but I'm assuming any further drop will cause it to rub again.

Cheaper to sell the springs than start looking at adjusting camber, much cheaper than getting bags too!

Yeah I'd say with the fatter rubber it'd need camber work post drop to work properly. The wagon looks low enough from factory anyway - maybe less so with the Rotiforms though, perhaps I am skewed by seeing too many bagged Rotiform cars though. Perhaps another reason to pony up for some OZs.. or drive around with wheels in your boot permanently.
