Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

We are looking at gettig the car as low as possible so we ended up putting the rear springs in the press and bent them a little bit and them coupled with 20mm lowering blocks this is how it sits. Then front needs lowering too. Now the bump stops sit on the chassis rails so I think we'll notch the rails and use smaller bump stops too.

Still needs to be lower i think but that'll do for now. We'll see how it goes once all the other crap is in it.

Next step is wiring then we can pull it apart for sand blasting....

Thanks for looking

looking good...getting it low on 15" wheels is a big task.(as im finding out)..but worth the effort i think...cheers mark

Hi Matt

Just read through your thread as I'm definitely looking for inspiration for my build and you'd replied on one of my threads.
Your build is looking good, nice job

Just wondering if you have any more info on that car you showed above? Is there a build thread anywhere?

Many thanks,

[Matt75]
