Coilovers

[villain24]

I will have a look at Ad lavs pics to get some ideas. Evo i will post some pics up when i get them fitted by Aldon automotive. By the way awesome hadn't added the vat on there website. Think they came out just over 600. My old man found some scottish website which was selling them for £535 + vat.

Good luck getting eibachs low on the back, they won't unless you take the adjusters out, which iirc means you corner like a granny

 

[villain24]

What u on about, there coilovers, you can go as low as you like

 

[villain24]

Max lowering adjustment on Pro streets are 70mm drop, but that will be a quote for the front and not the rear. Rears normally are less than that.

Just found this....

Pro streets
Lowers Front: 35-65 mm & Rear: 35-65 mm

FK Silverline X Coilovers
Lowering of 45-75 mm

KW / Vairant 1 Coilovers
Lowers car by: 35-65mm/35-65mm

how u finding your kw RIC?? is there a noticable difference in comfort between the KW and the OEM?

 

[Ric 2001]

Oh yeah, rebound wise it's solid as a rock, If you try and push the wing down with your hand then your going to dint the wing with the required force to move it.

There is some wheel wobble but thing that down to tyres being almost legal limit.

Could do with a wheel alignment as I wasn't happy with the service I got from the original place I got it done.

Changing oem to coilovers - do you have to inform the insurance company. Last thing you want is not to be covered!!!!

lol

Look into this a bit more mate, T.Spark has Eibach's and his are about 20mm too high and are on the lowest setting.

 

[villain24]

What do you mean 20mm too high? the place i'm going to get them fitted has done stacks of that eibach kit and says there not bone shakers like FK. besides i'm not going as low as yours. dropping your car to the deck is **** for handling anyway

 

[Ad Lav]

T.Spark has Eibachs and 16's and said his could do with lowering another 20mm but it won't!

Mine isn't bone shaking!

Granted Eibach give a better, more OEM feel, I wanted it low and sporty feeling
