How have you guys coped with the wheels scuffing on the arches, I know mine's on 17"s, but I have the problem on 16's too. Any suggestions apart from putting it higher.

 

[cilo_Mike]

im not sure what to get now lol

mine has been "modified" to run lower... the arches have been rolled at the back so i can smuggle immigrants

the bumper brackets on the front have also been shortened for extra clearance

i've raised it a bit now tbh, it rubbed slightly when you were giving it the beans. not good

it's perfect now, ride-heigh wise imo

 

[rob192]

Gotta be 60 tbh. Seems weird seeing these pics of my car, tis a bit different now!

 

[Christopher]

rat!

love that for some reason

[xcore]

HOw highs that silver beast off the front?

 

[rob192]

rat!

love that for some reason

Even lower and wider now, got 172 wings and bumper on the front and FK coils and 25mm spacers on the back so it's down and out a bit more

HOw highs that silver best off the front?

If you're talking about mine player it's about 75mm down I reckon. Got so much more to go as well.

 

[xcore]

mines 60mm and i can just squeeze my D900 between the splitter and floor

 

[rob192]

Bully for you! Mine aint exactly a country mile off the floor.

What size wheels you got?

 

[f0xy]

lowered silly amounts on FK's, probs around 100 on front and 80 on back lol

 

[xcore]

14"steelies woo

 

[rob192]

Loves it.

 

[Christophe]

Sorry to hijack but which fk collies are best?

 

[xcore]

Highsports or whatever there called for road use

 

[f0xy]

highsports if you are just after height adjustment, or konigsports if you want damping adjustment too

 

[Christophe]

highsports if you are just after height adjustment, or konigsports if you want damping adjustment too

what does damping adjustment provide? sorry to sound thick.

Is the highsports got the least harsh ride out of the fk's

 

[f0xy]

damping adjustment is to make the ride softer or harder......so the konigsports would be the least harsh ride

 

[Christophe]

you can adjust the dampers no matter how low you gone ye?

Can you actually notice the difference in ride whgen adjusted? as they quite a bit more expensive than highsports

 

[N!CK R]

oh yeah! definately notice the difference in ride.
To be honest, FK's are quite a harsh ride, but it does look spot on.

 

[toby-juggs]

I've got some rsx spax coilovers for sale that would sort your car out. Just look in 'car parts for sale'

 

[JD]

no idea how much but probs 75 ish on fk coilies

jamie

 

[Christophe]

I always thought fk were bit cheap and nasty but found a lot of people on here have them and are more affordable than say H&R's. Think i might save up for some konigsports.

 

[lil_jack05]

mines 60-40 on spax springs
