So after riding around on eibach sportlines for quite sometime I finally decided that I HAD to go lower. Started looking around for a set of k-tech specials as I wasn't bothered about ride just wanted a drop. After a week or two I seen a set of FK silverline X coilovers come up on ebay with a stupidly low starting price.
So went through all the motions to check the bolt spacing was correct, and these would give me what I wanted. They were perfect and at this price I could deffinatly not say no.
Won them with nobody else bidding
Arranged a courier next day then trouble struck. I was getting updates from the courier to say where they were and got an update that said "damaged in transit". My heart sank. I couldn't be bother insuring them for the extra £13 and dawned on me i should of. After going to 2 courier bases they managed to dig them out and told me "they were in a bin of damaged parcels and something had been leaking". Luck for me they were fine box was just abit ratty.
Got the boys over at NWPerformance to fit them for a great price too. After being quoted £200+ for fitting them from my local garage.
once fitted 2 days later decided I wanted it lower, so got the axel stands out and wound the rears right down, and left a nice gap at the front. Perfect Im still playing with the adjustable ride on the front dampers as these can be adjusted!
Heres before with the eibachs:
then before I cleaned it today:
The after washing it:
Took the centre caps of and I think I prefer it without? Comments?
Next on the cards, get my front and rear mouldings sprayed again. Got sport Xenons coming this week so Ill get them in. And then get the 3/4 front plate sorted.
Alloys are in dyer need of a refurb as well.
Comments and suggestions
