got my coilovers fitted... (pics; 56k warning!)

[J@mes]

il watch with interested... but after speaking to chris, i dont think i need them! im happy with how the car now looks! maybe if i saw a pic of 5 or 3mm spacer on a lowered LCR i would change my mind?!

5mm and 3mm i think you wont even notice, its basicly how much you pump your tyre up by!

The Forge one i am being sent is 15mm i beleive, will be interesting to see......

arrrr, thats better fella

 

[J@mes]

shame it wasnt quite dry! didnt want to wait till it was cos it would have been dark!

So how you finding the ride and particularly the height? As I was thinking of getting BBT to do mine like yours and then adjust it later if im not happy.

How easy is it to raise and lower the set up? As id love to get a few pics of it slammed then reset it!

 

[J@mes]

the height is perfect i think!

iv already scrapped the splitter twice comin out of car parks! doh!

i found yesterday that drivin on the motorway 3 up with luggage that it felt slightly bouncy over big bumps in the road (at speed!) but this is to be expected when lowering a car!

it is a much better ride than all my previous lowered cars thats for sure!

 

[J@mes]

oh yea... adjustability... u use the 2 ring spanners... jack up the car, loosen the botto one then reset them and tighten! its obvious wen u look at it!


i doubt il bother adjusting mine tbh!

 

[Scotty_b]

This may sound like another wierd one but at high speeds does it feel more planted?

Sounds as if you got the almost perfect set up. You can adjust the damp as well as the height tho

Good good. I will be asking the same Questions nearer my fitting time to make sure it hasn’t settled in anymore and dropped further, or you have changed your mind. If that’s ok?

Looks sh1t hot in the photos though mate

 

[J@mes]

yea no probs scott! ask away! (u av helped me out enough! )


thanks... does look so much better imo!

 

[Scotty_b]

Cheers fella. Got a real itch to mine fitted soooooooon!

 

[J@mes]

Looking good, Can't wait to get my Silverline X's fitted on, which I've bought from a forum member
Interested to know about the spacers, but I allways thought spacers put more stress on the wheel bearings?
Are yours adjustable damping aswell?

Does it grround out pretty easy ??
