Just got low - coilovers on

[Topgeartom]

Fit my vmaxx coilovers yesterday when they turned up, ended up finsihing them in the dark due to starting the job at about 4.

Therefore the height is all wrong, and its ended up looking like its trying to snort the white lines up off the road.

Going to have a play with the settings tomorrow and pull the front up/back down but heres what it looks like for now:

very nice mate. that looks mental low on the front even without a splitter. take it thats as low as they go on the front?

 

[Ian_182]

Needs a set of 16's

 

[Craig]

needs to go lower at the back id say. looks good

 

[W17GLE]

Whats it drive like?

 

[Limca]

the drives great when sitting on coilovers... i remember when mike @ rentech slammed mine. the drive home from portsmouth to london made me moist

this is what mine looked like the day after.. was sitting on FK konigsports

enjoy mate, best mod... Jay

Bizzarely theres enough thread left on the fronts to go at least another 25mm lower.

Its getting another set of 15's that are going to cause a few issues on this forum when i get some spacers for the fronts so they fit over the brakes.

Drives really nicely, nowhere near as crashy as the gmaxx coilies my mate had on his megane coupe.

Still need to get everything set yet as the heights are a little uneaven all round.

keep the 15's i say but get some spacers on the front to fill the arches.

why are peeps so hung up on spacers. You do realise just putting just two at the front majorly changes the behavour of the car?

Looks mint btw, slight raise at the front only imo, keep the nose down, as they have some dialled in from the factory

Whats the ride like mate? Only thing that concerns me with the V-Maxx is the make

I put spacers on my old car made a huge diffrence and gripped a lot lot better

 

[JR]

Looks really good, also liked Limca's too.

 

[Topgeartom]

yeh as i said the ride isnt anywhere near as bad as i was expecting.

You definately feel the potholes more, but just normal driving isnt crashy or harsh like I thought it might be.

Well there's just been a group buy with about 13 people involved, and they all recieved their's yesterday, so keep your eye open the next coming weeks for reviews.

Like i said Tom, will look sweet once heights are sorted.

[GazM]

They dont look too bad really but i like the originals (nice refurb would do the trick), maybe some spacers all round to fill the arches
