chances are it is warped discs and because you feel it through the steering wheel it has to be up front...
I advice changing to new discs and brake pads.
Ill 2nd that.
-
What about me lol?
-
Mate that looks so so so much better :)
Not sure if it will work so well on my granite sky is200 :(
-
Looks good mate. It will drop more over the next few weeks as the springs settle. Did you get the camber adjustment on the front back in spec? Something to keep an eye on is for the telltale feathering of the extreme inner edge of the tyres. Turn the wheel out over the next few weeks just to be sure the tyres are not wearing unevenly.
Thanks for the info mate :) will keep an eye on it. As for the spec ill have to ask my mate.
Thanks
Lewis.

Glad you're pleased with them mate. After looking at the pics I'm starting to wish I'd kept them!
Thanks again mate, I'm glad you didn't tho lol. Looked at the vid you said about, very funny and good at the same time. Cheers again mate.

Looks well nice mate. Let us know how they feel a week or so down the line.if its still all good i think i may have to purchase some myself. also did they drop the amount they should or did you not measure?
Yes mate will do :)
And that would of been a great idea if I had of thought about it (dohh) what a numpty I am lol, but yes I think it droped what it should of and I'm well chuffed with it. Yes I would say go for it mate.
Thanks mate.

:) The ride is a little bit harder than normal but not much of a difference and the handling is much better as I found out this morning on the way to work taking a few extra roundabouts than normal lol.
And yes all aligned back up sweet as a nut but I did have a friend who is a mechanic helping me do the install.

Hi Andy,
Do you have a price for the front lower arm bushes both sides for a 2000year is200sport?
And also a new N/s/f shock absorber please.
Thanks so much.

Hi everyone,
I had my mot done last month and on one of the asdviserys it said that the font lower arm bushes both sides need replacing as they are perishing and also one of the dampers is leaking slightly. Now I'm just about to lower the car 35mm on apex springs so thought I should change the bushes at the same time, so my questions are
1) I've seen some sets of lower arm bushes on eBay for around £50, will I need just the one set or 2 for both sides? And any recomendations?
2) Should I also Change the leaking damper aswell? And if so which one should I go for?
Thanks in advance to any replys.
Lewis.

Well put my name down as one of the 5. Who else is in for this then? We need 4 more people or this wicked kit will never go into production.
:) :)
-
Try Midland exhausts or MIJ they are both custom exhaust specialist and should be able to help?
Hope that helps mate.

hi eveyone, ive got a is200 sport which is already tinted windows as standard, i want to tint the rear windows darker. Now i have rung a few places and they all seem to say its a hard job as the rear window heat elements are to thick and courses bubbling. Has anyone had this problem and how did you get around it?
Thanks
