Just Fitted Front Coilovers - Is This Too Low!?

[christurbo]

This is with the springs half way up the thread. I could litterally lower it to the floor if wanted :S

 

[Dan Page]

that will handle shite and catch like a b*****d on the bumper brackets and bits towards the front of the arch.

 

[Martin]

tooo low indeed

 

[Gweebs]

Look cool though (hehehe!!)

 

[christurbo]

Thought so .... its predominantly going to be used on the track though.

Im going to raise it about 15mm.

Got the backs to do first though

 

[christurbo]

BTW --- one of the best pieces of advice was to buy an impact gun - wouldnt have been able to do it without.

Cheers Fred - Oh and my Brembo's/Ferodo's arrived to day - thanks.

f**k how low is that lol

 

[Ali]

Does look fit tho.

Your front bumper looks like its come loose there.... What type of coilovers are they and how much did they set u back?

 

[christurbo]

They can go so low that the sump can touch the ground - FK's.

Half way doing the rear now - its started raining Coffee break.

 

[christurbo]

Oh and BTW - I can get away with lowering it more than people with std 16's because Im running 195/40/ R16's - it makes all the difference.

Aye maybe a wee bit low...

Same with H&Rs - mine have enough adjustability that I'm sure I could have the splitter touching the road if I really wanted.

that will handle sh*te and catch like a b*****d on the bumper brackets and bits towards the front of the arch.

Anyone got pics of the bits that catch? Mine have only started to catch recently, always on mid-corner bumps when going for it. I've not yet found which bit is actually catching... :dapprove:

205/45/16s on std 172 rims though - maybe that's my problem.

All done - and tested. I raised it only 10mm and no scrubbing, and handles astonishingly good - cant wait to test the different damping settings.

I'll update my Track Car blog thread once blog is updated.

cool, loved the blog, had a read yesterday

 

[christurbo]

Thanks!

Its going to be a long one tonight though - loads of pics too.

 

[Fred@BTM]

measure 140mm from the small abs bracket to the bottom of the adjuster platform, thats about the correct height

 

[Gaz_]

cool

i will look forward to it

 

[Justin]

looks awesome, but would be a pig to drive lol

 

[christurbo]

I have more pics that I will be uploading to my blog later - with the new ride height [not much difference IMO though]

I have taken it for a 1 hour drive over the chase and local back roads and it handles 200% better than before.

Its much more like my VX now ...

Just have to update the blog now though!
