Now on coils

[Andyk1801]

Dunno if it's a little too low at the back

But will let them settle

Looks too low on the back IMO chap. Needs a nicely balanced rake. Also, get some 15mm spacers all round and you'd be amazed at the difference. Always nice to see a flamer though

 

[Andyk1801]

Yea I thought that, they are on max drop at the back.. I was thinking an inch up..

How much are the spacers?

 

[Tomas]

What coilovers you on?

 

[Andyk1801]

Just some raceland ones. £170 brand new.. Didn't want to spend a bomb on them and they have some pretty good reviews on here. It's just a daily driver anyway.

 

[Cub.]

Bought mine a while ago, but think they are £100 or so for a pair. Make sure you get a decent make (mine were Eibach) and that they are hubcentric.

 

[Andyk1801]

Cheers dude will look into this.. Wheels do need pushing out a little now I look at it.. Thanks

 

[Andyk1801]

Few more in a better place

And a comparison picture

Much cleaner in this one

hey, is that the lowest the front goes with the raceland coilovers go?

 

[Tomas]

I'd put the front down a tad, TD 1.2s would finish it off perfect.

 

[Andyk1801]

No that's just over half way of the adjustment.. 63 threads.. Not sure what that equates to in mm's 60 maybe!

 

[Yorkshire]

It takes a while to get the stance right with coilovers.
I like the back so I would lower the front to match.

 

[Andyk1801]

Wouldn't mind a similar stance to my old s1 Rallye..

 

[Luke.]

Needs rake, face down, ass up mate. Will be perfect.

 

[just-that-ek]

How were they to fit?

Made any difference to handling?

 

[Andyk1801]

Pretty easy to fit, was a bit unsure about the top mounts on the rear struts as in what to use but they went on . Hardest part was getting the old struts off the rear.. Bolts were a nightmare.. Yea handling is better, ride is pretty good as well considering how low it is.

 

[just-that-ek]

Ah good tempting to get them still undecided ATM :s

 

[Andyk1801]

I'd say for the 170 I paid they are a bargain.. The back is as low as it will go but the front could probably go down twice what it is

 

[Rubicon_]

Defintaly needs raised at the back mate.

 

[Andyk1801]

Yep I agree.. The suspension should be worn in and settled no so soon as I get an hour free il lift it back up a tad.. Not sure how much though.. Probs an inch or so

 

[Alan]

Tidy.
