Lowering Height

[rich.h44]

She looks sweet mate!id drop the back a bit more!hows she handle now u got the camber and traking done

 

[CraigW]

Cheers mate. I get a slight rubbing on the left passenger side now and then i think it's to do with the big plastic bulge in the arch, apart from that no rubbing not even on full lock now the camber is sorted. I'm running 195 45 R16 mate.

I only get rubbing on the front passenger side aswell. It must be something to do with the shape of the arch liner. Yours is roughly at the same height as mine. Yours is alittle lower at the back than mine though.

if you look under the arch liners/splash guards you will see a very square 3D bit sticking out behind the spring.
Thats possibly what it will be hitting off of.

On my 1.4 it rubbed off that, and i traced it to that box, filed it down so it missed the wheel catchment, never did it again.

Thats what i have a feeling it is Mckellar i was actually gonna post today and ask about it. Do you know what it is for? Looks like i will be getting the file out at the weekend then cheers Mckellar.

Try finding a big car park and driveing in a circal to make a good mark wer its rubbing!then you no were it is!make sure u paint any bear metal with etch primer or something!

Not sure mate iv thought about this as i had chance of some fk coilovers from a mk3!

 

[OllieL]

why not buy a set of coilovers? The price of the jackson kits arent much more (if any) than a set of standard shocks and u can adjust them to exactly what u want

No, they wont, neither will mk3 coilovers.

 

[rich.h44]

Well thats answered my question!when i put the 20vt engin in i was gona put all the runnin gear and suspention!

 

[Mckellar]

No point really, if you're going to do that you'd be aswell to just buy a cupra, put the engine and running gear in and upgrade the components needed to benefit it.

Here are some quick pics i took last night once i got the car back from the garage.

Still seems to be fine going over bumps and no rubbing .

looks good mate, but this is a proper height on those same wheels, with 195/50/15s on, and no rubbing, even with a car full

 

[rich.h44]

Im going 2 get a rear ended one thats been writen of then i kan put a mk3 front on!

I'm running 195/45/16 so that must be why it's rubbing. It only rubs on that stupid platic bulge in the arch though, i filed it down a bit but it still rubs on full lock. If i just took it off would it cause serious problems with the water getting in?

 

[risted]

By the way i really like your car wish mine looked mint like that.

 

[rich.h44]

I agree it looks real nice and its sat perfect!i want mine 2 sit like that
