haha! Oh Rhys.

340lbs front, 280lbs rear is fitted to Hipermax II's, which are just an updated version of mine afaik. Can easily get length/width measurements by taking them off the car I guess! And yeah, even Sebs white car was miles lower than this thing. That's what I'm so puzzled by!

Yep! Ooo thanks, I'll do some research.. Might have to go on what the newer models are, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of info on the ones I have.

Hahah no chance! Nope. Don't come with any AFAIK. Just progressive springs.

Yeah, they're a good 10/15 years old, so an old design. They'll certainly do for now though, and I guess I could look into different springs in the mean time. Only thing is, HKS have long stopped providing any parts (other than the top mounts) and as far as I know don't rebuild them anymore...

Hmmmm, I think I'll see how low it goes with them both in then. Don't want to have to weld anything, I'd be better off buying different coilovers at a later date tbh considering these will still be worth a fair chunk.

I know how to adjust them. I'm saying could I take the smaller bottom locking ring off completely and wind the top ring all the way to the bottom of the thread and try to wedge it in? Or perhaps add the smaller ring on top of the large ring to tighten it - the opposite of how it is now. Would...

They're solid Pillow-ball top mounts. (Ones on the right) And yes, they're not like HSD's where ride height adjustment is separate unfortunately.

It's just getting them loose that I'm worried about. But yeah, cheers for the advice! This is what I'm up against: HKS HiperD by j0eyD, on Flickr Not much adjustment left, as you can see. Unless there's a way of taking the lower adjuster ring out and making sure the big one doesn't move?

Yay! I'm sure the people in my apartment would love you lot.. haha

I think that's very much last resort! If there were cheap racelands or something I wouldn't be bothered, but these are actually valuable! lol

It'll obviously go a bit lower, but I don't think its going to make a massive difference. I'd love to be surprised, but looking at how high it's at now and the amount of adjustment left on the coilovers, its not going to be anything like as low as I want it to be. They actually look quite...

flol! I wish my bank balance was bigger, seriously fml-ing at the moment. I just can't attend anything! :(

Just ordered some JDM plates and a Fabia splitter as a temporary solution until I see how low it goes and then I can decide on whether to go with a G.V lip or a Mazda R lip (massively in favour of the OEM R lip at the moment, but they're just so much money!)

Explode. 100%

Please break it instead. Or keep it and add a turbo :)

I'd prefer it if there were more 'normal' cars included. Nothing better than hooning around some amazing roads in a car you could actually own one day... I hope they include the MK1 MX5 again. lol

I wish I went last night. She's looking at me in that screenshot ^. She'd have loved me. Sigh :(

The trick is to go in clothes that are already dirty. Everyone thinks you've been working away, but you know you're just there for the tea.

It's worth a try, yeah! Thanks :) I'd better get some sleep anyway. Going to be f**king useless otherwise!

I agree, but it's getting them low that's the issue now. Need a pair of C-spanners the right sizes. Tried with Sebs HSD spanners, but they're far too big!

Many many hammers have been used in creating this abortion. Along with two angle grinders and plenty of discs. It's such a shed and it's better for it IMO.

Already got the MOT side of things covered. Had a fresh one just after I bought it... It's what I'm going to do that might not be so.. sensible? Lol

I don't know... I'll be surprised if it moves at all. It's just hovering at constant height. F**king thing. <3 You should see the state of the sill after I jacked it up (Which I wouldn't have done, but I couldn't fit the jack under anywhere else and I know what's going to happen to the shell...

172Ben?

I've not got a f**king clue. The heights on the coilovers haven't changed since they were on Sebs white car, and it's a good inch or two higher than his was. Even factoring in smaller wheels etc. I just don't know. Might be something to do with the wishbones/subframes being set wrong... but I...

It'd be nice to be able to run with 50PSI in the rear tyres with a completely locked diff though. Those roads look nice and twisty.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS CAR. Fitted the front HiperD coilovers the other week, thought I'd give it chance to settle (They're about 15 years old, they aren't settling anymore, who am I kidding?!) a bit on them before admitting that IT WILL NOT GO LOW. There's about 2 or maybe 3 inches left on...

Hi Ben

You'll still be able to upgrade the suspension, but it'll all be upgraded to a default setting - you can't alter exactly how low you have it, it'll just be a set amount lower/stiffer than standard. That's the way I understand it anyway. But yeah, does sound dumbed down a bit.
