How low will i be able to go? (coilovers)

[_Tom]

Hi

Just ordered me some FK coilovers. When i get them how low will i be able to take it without problems?

Bearing in mind theyre adjustable from -45 to -85?

Mines 65mm on willy track, 195/45's .....Rubs, thank god for plastic arches

Id say easy 70mm on valver track .....just keep dropping it till you happy with it.

 

[_Tom]

Sorry forgot to say! Thats on 195/45's with 16" rims

70mil sounds good though!

Just got to find someone to sort the back!!!

 

[Winston]

hmmmmm 16's .....i'd say 65mm but you never know till you try it

Whats the best way to do it winston?

Wind them down until i cant get lock, then put it up a tad?

mine is dropped around 60 at the front and 110 at the back on 18"s so slam it as low as you can, the only consideration you have to think of is speedbumps.

Thats what i did ....but i didn't put it up a tad lol

speed bumps :headno:

lol! Good good!

The rear shocks wont adjust the rear height at all will it? Just the torsion bar....

What difference will the rear shocks make?

I'd say about -65mm on the front Tom mine are on now with my 16's and 205/40's

the rear shocks won't make any difference apart from the quality of the part compared to what your currently using, all movement is in the rear bar

As winston says wind them down check full lock then adjust to suit remember they'll settle a bit aswell and release the handbrake when you keep checking the height

The pain in the arse is having to keep taking the wheels off to adjust and check

sorry to hijack matey will these fit other models? im tempted to convert to willy or valver set up and get some meaty coilovers for wen the engine conversion comes along
