KTR Coilovers & top-mounts ~ Before, After and Driven pics

I bought the KTR coilovers on the package deal before Christmas along with their very own top-mounts

Took a few "before" pics before I went and put this kit on the car

(Standard shocks and Eibach Sportline springs)

Managed to get a day off work so I met up with Cro-Clio off here and we went ahead to fit them
- oh what fun that was to find out I had 2 shocks gone on the N/S

A few fitting pics

Don't let the chavs see this, they'll be putting LED's in their top-mounts next!

We also fitted a pair of KTR rear brake discs, - one of the old ones was a ballache to remove, even after trying the angle grinder lol :evil:

Back on 4 feet then a 60 mile "squeaky" drive home + a phone-call to Sean at K-Tec = EPIC FAIL

Got the height right with a few tweaks on the front struts and straightened up the toe as best I could until the tracking was done properly.

Time for a clay bar and a Karcher to get rid of the angle-grinder aftermath!

Took the front down another few notchesto try keep the nose-down stance and got my tracking set up, went for a test-drive and holy Moses - love it!

I hope yee like

Love this car!

How you finding the suspension set up? Is it quite hard?

Whats next?

 

[Tigger]

I can't fault the kit at all - love it

It's like having the Eibach's in and still have the option to adjust the height
Much better turn-in too

 

[Alan]

Awesome man...spent a fair bit on this one!!

 

[davesport172]

very nice mate, one of my faves on here, just gets better and better

 

[Tigger]

Next - fit the splitter and show off the new colour theme lol

On the way home from the test-drive one of my centre caps decided it was a lemming and flew off into infinity
Had to get one sprayed to match the wheels again then get a helicoil to fix the hole that holds the bolt - the cap took a few threads with it lol

Cheers Alan - you have no idea what we've been through in the last 2 months lol

 

[pritchard182]

looks good i like

 

[clairemae]

awesome :approve:

 

[Davis]

nice height now! cars looking good!

the top mounts make much difference?

 

[Tigger]

Yeah they do mate, much more "feel of the wheel" when turning
None of this empty-steering wheel craic anymore lol

I hated that even on my dci Clio, and Dads - you got halfway round a corner and feel like your steering isn't working

 

[pip.]

Snow on roof. Tom's dummy will fly over that.

 

[Y7 ADW]

Love the colour of those wheels, looks stunning. Loving the number plate also

Really like that!

[Tigger]

Cheers mate

How do you find the engine/gearbox mounts?

 

[Curtis!]

I shouldn't, but I laugh at anyone with standard top mounts with having AST ones.

Car looks great alot lower, bet you realised the difference on the first corner. Thinking of some new wheels though dude?

 

[Tigger]

Nope, I love my Honda wheels

 

[Aluco]

Awesome

Dirtyyyyy tho

 

[Tigger]

Thanks, have a few more driven/pre-clean photo's to fire up too

 

[oliver.james]

Cheers mate

How do you find the engine/gearbox mounts?

I'm massively impressed with them; highly recommend them tbh

Power feels so much more immediate, it's great!

 

[Rob]

Looks great man, really like the look of the top mounts, mine, although functional, don't look as good

 

[Tigger]

Glad to hear that OJ - might look into them sometime, when/if mine fail lol

What mounts have you got on yours Robbos?

 

[MikeyK18]
