sorry just read the first line of the thread lol. What coilovers is it on then?

 

[garry01]

there only a budget coilover £150 off ebay from a company called hot-tuning had them almost a year now and had no problems at all, worth every penny.

 

[inliner_04]

Yeah it looks good. Whats the ride like?
i was planning on gettin AP's

 

[garry01]

the rides good, want to go a tad lower at the front but the arb wont allow any more drop as its close to the drive shaft, shortened drop links is a must if you drop yours. a better arb is on the cards.

 

[inliner_04]

have you got shortened links on yours then? where did you get those from if you dont mind me asking?

 

[garry01]

got mine from amd in Essex, wasn't short enough tho so modified them , but i think venom motorsport do them shorter .

see you around a lot mate, saw you today at the roundabout near farnborough, you were turning right onto the a21 and i was going straight over towards green st green, i was in the shitty blue corsa still. Your car looks fantastic in person, much better than on the pics on here, they dont show how low it is or how wide those rear wheels are lol.

cheers mate, still not got yours on the road yet then? cant say I've seen you in the corsa, not the sort of car that catches my attention, but I'll keep my eyes peeled for ya

Mark - have had the coilovers a little over a year now, the ride isn't too bad, have gone as low as the arb will allow and have had no issues with them yet! you get what you pay for so a years use is good and hopefully another couple left in them yet

Sorry to re open this thread, did u think of fitting a whiteline ARB? They go under the driveshaft. I fitted one and have been able to go loads lower.
P.S you are never at work when i drive past...thought you might be able to give me a price on a dent/scrape repair ;-)

 

[garry01]

that's ok , i work between 8.30am & go home at 5.30pm , your welcome to pm some photos to me and i will do my best to price it up that way if that makes it any easier??? where abouts did you get the arb from?? not too sure how much longer the off side shafts going to hold out Lol.......

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

The FK ARB is quite a bit cheaper and lets you go down 100mm, I'm running this with no problems

Thats one clean engine bay for a derv......... nice!!!

 

[Danzibar9]

Talk to Damian from DPM on here. I got it from them. IF cant go much lower because the front splitter scrapes. Will sort out some pics of the damage. Cheers

cool will sort out a good price for you, please try and make the pictures as detailed as poss, how much was your arb?

 

[Danzibar9]

Think it was about a bit under 200. I had an Eibach one which made no difference. I sold that for 100 ;-)
I don't suppose you guys can polish wheel rims? I better PM you
