major coilover problems - scrubbing badly!

[spyke85]

Get it bloody raised, thats silly low.

 

[mrcoyote]

thats just the way its sitting lol the is about a 2 inch gap between the wheel and arch

I presume you're taking about the space on the side not the top as a 2 inch gap at the top would put you back up to standard ride height.

 

[spyke85]

Rear wheels look silly too because it's so low.

its no wear near wound all the way down,a few boys on here run there fk coilys rite down without trouble,and mine arent nearly as far down

 

[spyke85]

So what if it isn't all the way down. Fancy killing yourself?

Okay, just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. You could run your car with no springs at all which would make it uber low, but should you?

not being funny, but the way the rear wheel is tucking back into the arch suggests that it's too low. not to mention that it looks 'too low'

raise it up to a much more sensible height, and stop comparing what you're doing to what other people 'say' they do on the internet.

taking advise from some of the kids on here who will happily run their cars on the bump stops is frankly stupid.

 

[spyke85]

Stupid is an understatement! How to ruin a car!

 

[jamesmacc]

is that still to low??

 

[spyke85]

What's the point of that photo?

 

[m0rk]

Personally I'd say it was.

 

[mrcoyote]

is that still to low??

Yes.

What's the point of that photo?

I have no idea.

 

[spyke85]

2 crap cars, and an Ibiza with different sized alloys on to the original photo?

 

[jamesmacc]

ok lads il raise it alot and see what the verdict is,any pictures of how your cars sit

 

[spyke85]

Mine sits standard, but I still know why you are getting scrubbing and when it looks too low!

 

[jamesmacc]

it doesnt rub with the stadard rims,but with the lower kit i had before,the hottuning ones,the tyres were way up in the arches and itd never rub....il raise it at work and put the bigger wheels back on and see what happens

 

[spyke85]

hottuning?

 

[m0rk]

are the spring rates the same?

what about the damping?

ride height is only half the 'problem'

 

[jamesmacc]

yup,the cheap kit,there 230 on ebay and lower 120mm,was mega slammed and everything was fine until the brackt bent,the i got the fk's,

 

[spyke85]

Just sort it out, get it raised until you have no rubbing. Not only does it look stupid, but it's dangerous.
