Irmscher V6 springs....

by MarkV6 » Tue Jul 14, 2009 11:01 am

I was putting my 18's on last Saturday ready for Billing and when I took off the first wheel I saw the spring was red...

I thought 'that's strange.... It should be black.'

Looking closer I saw an irmscher logo and part number. Checked all the others and they're all Irmscher.

Now I know the V6 sits lower than a 2.0, but does an Irmscher spring equipped V6 sit lower than a standard V6??
I used to own this Calibra...
I now own this one.

back onto the subject, i'm guessing that these springs are the ones fitted to the DTM V6's in that case wouldn't it be 25-30mm lower then

emmm... you're measuring from ground to arche, not telling what kind(size) of wheels you have? :naughty:

you should measure from center of the wheel to highest point of arche... at least real dudes, like mitsu evo @ wrc - do it this way.
