this is my problem after the coilovers.

what can be the reason?

mines started getting worse with this...in second too....im taking the battery out later to have a look at the mount

 

[medici999]

mine was the exhaust hitting the subframe.

 

[f0xy]

was your joint between the cat and center section hanging down? mine is....so if yours was im guessing its the same problem?

 

[clioGT]

mine is about suspension system.. I am sure of that... but i dont know exact problem...

there are camber correction bolts from k-tec, worth for trying.

Have the coilovers been setup correctly?

Most people dont bother to get them fully setup after being fitted. There nto like other mods where crutial setup wont effect it.

If the toe/camber etc is all out it can throw out the feel of the car!


Otherwise general things....

Tracking
Wheel Balancing
Exhaust Mounts Failing
Engine Mounts
Gearbox Mounts
etc..

It might be your driveshafts?

no setup done for it.
we take them form the box and fitted directly. ive done height adjustment by seti t as the lowest position. that's all.

what setup should have been set?

That will be the problem.

Even by fitting it with the most accurate way you can, you will never get it correct.

A full geometry setup would be ideal but it gets expensive.
Most motorsport companies will be able to do this for you.

With it being low.... the usual tyre place wont even be able to get the tracking done.

Toe/Camber checks etc....


A few people have had them setup in the Midlands somewhere for around £100.

A good setup can cost as much as the coilovers themselves!
