Have i got the right kit?

[danieltm]

Hi all! Just a quick one, I ordered the weitec GT coilover kit and revieved it the other day! I was expecting coilover arrangement front and back but its not? Now, maybe im just being stupid but is this right? I have coilover design for the front but the back is a shock and separate spring with an adjuster that sits on top of the spring. It looks right as its pretty much the same setup as the original rear suspension. As i said i may just be thick but i thought i should ask. Hope someone can help me out? Thanks

You got them from jabba in the end then? Mine were fitted Saturday. Very happy with them!

 

[danieltm]

Yes mate i did!! Cant wait to get them fitted, should be in a week or 2? How much did it cost you for fitting?

£135 + vat. That doesn't include tracking, im having that done this sat. Jabba also fitted new top mounts, mine were 20mm smaller than they should of been lol.

I got top mounts as well. So how low did you go? I think i want about 40 max?

Well I’ve got the back as high as it will go and the front set up to match so not very low but plenty low enough for an lcr if you know what I mean. The car handles so much better and the ride isn’t bad too. The only thing I’ve noticed is that “turn in” isn’t as sharp but from what I’ve read this is because the back needs to be slightly higher than the front and mine are level. So I might lower the front a little. Oh and you will notice the back wheels will look like they need spacers lol!

sound good mate. Im working all day saturday on overtime so that should pay for my fitting!! I do know what you mean about the back too. I have got 10 spacers on the back though

I need to get me some spacers! Does it look right with 10mm? They wouldn't hit the arch would they?

[danieltm]

I have got Kei Force 10s and they looked a bit wrong before the spacers, but yes i think it looks spot on now with 10mm. I pretty sure the wheels wont hit the arch? well i hope not!
