New Coilovers and a wash n wax

[Jaffa182]

Just fitted my new FK coilovers from the group buy that russ sorted out! I decked it on its arse to begin with which made it scrub like a b**ch at the front so i raised it up a little and it still scrubs a little but only when i throw it into corners.

Another thing that i noticed is that the back wheels have loads of camber! Is this usual when you drop it on coilovers???

Massive thanx to Russ @ GasPerformance.co.uk for sorting out the group buy and bringing um down to me while i did his dash! & Jamie for givin us both a hand doin the dash lol.

Cheers, Jaffa182

[Jaffa182]

[Roystan]

Looks nice and smart bro... nicely done.

How muc hwere the coilovers in the group buy, if you dont mind me asking?

 

[CHRISK172+]

I would check the nearside for rubbing in the arch as part of it will be metal....not so kind on the tyres.
Looking very good alround I must have ago at that carbon rear trim in the bumper.
Btw....which head unit you got???...is it a Kenwood.....was wondering if you got a decent sat nav signal with the antenna on the dash??

 

[chris_marshall]

That is utterly amazing. Where did you get your mobile holder from and what head unit is that? Pure sex...

 

[dani182]

is your 182 a cup?

 

[cooks189]

perfect mate

 

[Mikey]

i love your car mate, looks great!!

 

[Alan]

Defo one of my fave 182's!!

Love the carbon insert in the rear bumper.

Did your 182 have cup suspension before you put the coilovers on??

 

[Andy1.2]

Very nice! Why is there a vvt-i badge on it tho? :S

 

[Jaffa182]

The head unit is the pioneer avic-x1bt, and the mobile phone holder is a sony ericsson 1.

Yeah the car had the cup suspension and the coilovers didn't fit 2 well cos the bolt offsets where wrong but i re-drilled the coilovers and they fitted fine.

I put them badges on cos its a vvt engine, i think they look pretty cool.

Thanx for all your replies glad you all like it. I should be coming to some of the meets pretty soon so you can all have a closer look.

Cheers, Jaff

FK are terrible. Mine were rusted after 3months!! Poor ride on the road.

I coat mine in WD40, keeps em pretty good. They are on the firm side aren't they.....corner well tho

 

[rustybolt]

the chrome body ones, as in Silverline and Silverline X wont do this.

The price tho is far more, as for the ride, everyone knows its a firmer ride, hence why i went for the Konigsports with Koni inserts so i can adjust this.

You get what you pay for tho, and these are a good price for coilovers
