Dirty b**ch on ledas

[cK]

Have had them on for 1 week so far and they are amazing.

The ride is sooo is nice compared to previous budget coilovers i've owned.

The ride height, track and dampening have not been fine tuned as of yet.

I've gotta bang it on the ramp at work to see how far out it is.

Not enough as of yet, my old 172 was quite a bit lower. However the wheels on this are an inch bigger.

 

[Fred@BTM]

rubbish!

 

[tomehb]

I see When i have got dave's coilovers, im not sure how to low to go! i dont want to be hitting my car on every speed bump ! or just some of the crapy roads around ditton

 

[cK]

Yea that's one thing in my mind on whether to take it any lower. At it's current height it doesn't catch speed bumps at all.

The arch liners have been removed.

 

[Christopher]

nice choice.

there's a good inch or so in that still, easy.

Thats looks quite a good hieight.

You could remove that front splitter then you cna lower the height of that plus you cannot then damage it.

Thanks mate, I might just take the front a bit lower as if I wanted to lower the back even more i'd have to take the springs out again.

I've sorted out the slight creak at the back.

I soaked all the bushes in release oil spray and it's been fine every since.

I'd think you could have gone lower theres always Freds kit he had make someoen selling for £160 if you want to go lower at the back but there quite hard I think spring rates.

Glad you sorted out the problem.

I can take it lower, the springs have some kind of metal spacer that's supplied with them. One has already been taken out but I think I can take another out to send it a bit lower.

nice chris

 

[Rufstuf]

Nice Chris, you could maybe go a few mm lower, but any more than that will compromise the handling. The front bumper bracket scrapes like hell also.

 

[Alan]

Girly man....get it bent good n proper Marky boy!!

 

[cK]

My brackets have been "modified" with a bit of force, the wheel liners have been removed and the metal bulges inside the wheel arch area have been smacked flat(ish) with a hammer.

 

[Rufstuf]

I've been too lazy to butcher my brackets yet, cut away a lot of arch liner though, but I dont think the metal bulges affect me tbh.
