Bummer Kirsty!
I think Robbie is right though... You should make a claim at Ecosse!
They are the pro's in this sort of mods, so they should have know and warn you! if they didn't, they've not done their job properly!

Good luck!

Sorry to hear that, but it's OBVIOUS

Even if I'm talking as an non-expert, I believe 60mm lowering with 17" alloys, the only thing you have is nothing but problems. These are racing cars modifications and not simply for normal to sport drive. Normal lowering is 30mm with max 40mm for the 15" or 16" wheels, but for 17" 60mm is TOO much! However if you drive in circuits, then it's OK.

kirsty,
take the wheels off and then remove the arch liners, until Ecosse can get a look at it. That's been known to work in the past.
I've reread the article in redline on the eccosee CC that was lowered 60mm onto 18's and they did ALOT of arch rolling.

thanx folks!

Ud think ecosse would know how much work was required to the arches since theyve done the same to atleast 2 CCs.

Ive called them anyway and Im to head over, so just bout to take the car up!

Other thing Ive realised is I think it may have sumthin to do with the fact the roof was down yesterday since it had been fine the 2 days b4! Maybe that wee bit of xttra weight in the back was just too much!

CB · Post by CB » Fri May 16, 2003 1:44 pm

I think thats your answer! That roof is a bit hefty...

or you had done too much shopping

Erm · Post by **Erm** » Fri May 16, 2003 2:37 pm

before lowering you must have all the equpiment u normally have in the boot in there and the roof lowered......

so subs and amps in and the roof down :rolleyes:

get ecosse to sort it out properly

kirstys-pug · Post by **kirstys-pug** » Fri May 16, 2003 4:05 pm
