Coilovers are on - shall i take it lower?

[_Tom]

The worst pictures ever i know but my coilovers went on Friday night. The car handles like a go-kart now so im loving it but im being told by all my mates i should take it slightly lower? Sometimes i think it looks just right, others a touch high.

I might just lower the rear a touch more? Although i want to keep it nose down.

I'll get some clean better ones another day..haha

 

[Budgie]

That's just right.

Maybe even a touch too low at the front for me, but i'd always aim for go, not show.

 

[_Tom]

It is for go not show for sure. My slammed VW days are over..lol

 

[Cueball]

Just right

 

[mossyv6]

Spot on stance

 

[JamesBryan]

Looks spot on to me :approve:

 

[_Tom]

Thanks. I might not mess with it then. Going to get it aligned on Saturday so want to have it perfect for then.

Also, anyone know which way you have to twist the know on Konigsports for softer and harder? Ive had a quick play and it seems clockwise to make them softer but id have thought it'd be the other way round..

 

[JamesBryan]

Anti-Clockwise = Firm
Clockwise = Soft

 

[_Tom]

Thanks mate. I was right! Still, wouldnt have been too hard to work out.

 

[dezmondo]

Looks just right at that!

 

[Brookie.]

Height looks spot on mate! Definitely no lower.

Cup spoiler sprayed white, and either a new wheel colour/new wheels and that will be lovely

Some nice bright silver turinis would look lovely on that. Sheepish I know, but for a reason!

 

[D4N13L]

Good height that, the wheels must scrub though (unless you have made some modifications).

 

[EllD90]

Don't take it lower, looks great as it is.

 

[James28]

As said. Definitely not any lower. Looks good.

Not sure on the black sidestrips/spoiler though.

 

[_Tom]

I'll leave it i suspect then. Its still very usable too. As for paint, the spoiler will be going white and i want poverty spec unpainted bump strips. Thats how it came. Well, the spoiler has been changed but the other was black too. Getting in ready for some trackday fun is top of the list though.

 

[Duffman_172]

I agree, perfect hight I would say

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

No

 

[Gray]

No, perfect height IMO.

 

[danh90]

I want a white 182

 

[Wayne-G]

Height looks just right i think, can i have your car please ?

 

[sbridgey]

The height looks good but maybe needs to go up a touch at the rear for a nice bit of rake

 

[_Tom]

Thanks people. Sbridgey, it does have a fair bit of rake? I would always set it up this way tbh.

PS, you dont want a white 182...look how dirty it is after a week of use..

 

[sbridgey]

Sorry was being a bit special when i was looking at the pictures!

 

[BREMBO]

Looks good!

Mate ive got a BG dont talk to me about car being dirty lol

 

[Inequality Street]

Looks lovely, don't think I could own White though, I'd wash it more than drive it!

 

[willhalligan]

bit lower at the back imo

 

[demongibbo]

drop it untill its scrubbing then just raise it a teeny weeny bit!!!

 

[BlazeYouQuick]

I'd leave it as it is.

 

[Addicted]

Perfect as is, hate it when there's unequal arch gaps around the wheel!

Perhaps that's just me being OCD?

 

[Clio RS 172]

looks nice:approve:

 

[Adamm.]

Looks perfect to me mate.

 

[Hixle]

Fine as it is, maybe even a touch higher.

Can't stand the wheels in black though mate.

 

[ch!ppen]

Perfect ride height.

 

[Tony172]

Look very smart like that I'd leave it at that!!

Background looks familiar!

 

[Scrooge]

Leave it alone, its spot on.

 

[Struggler]

looks great!! like the whole car!!

 

[_Tom]

Thanks guys. Front splitter rubbed on a speed bump last night so its certainly not going lower. Just need to get it frickin lazered now.

Wheels look ok when they're clean. They're quite a high gloss black however they are kind of grey there from all the salt on the roads. Still, new wheels will be coming. Probably Turini's by the looks of things. Boring i know.

 

[_Tom]

Oh and i've bought some unpainted textured side strips too.

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

It is for go not show for sure.

Get some nice light 15's on if your after getting the best out of it. If it feels good now you'll love how it feels on 15's. It'll accelerate faster and change direction quicker. Only possible draw back to highlight for me might be that with the extra tyre wall on 195/50/15 you can feel a slight snap or movement when changing direction quickly. That was with paradas tho which have sidewalls made of cheese, a firmer sidewall or dropping to 195/45/15's should be the perfect setup.

And as for height wise i'd say it looks good to me as long as your not getting too much scrub at that height.
