Title: other parts when running coilys
Post by: paulturbo on 21 June 2010, 13:01

as i am watching some coilys on fleabay at the mo, i was wondering other than replacing the top mounts with new ones, should i replace anything else like the drop links etc?

If your going low you will need to replace the ARB or buy the adjustable drip link to clear the driveshaft, just remember you need to shorten the drop links if you go down this route.

Don't you also need spacers if you're going silly low?  :undecided:

Steve has some to clear the adjuster ring is it  :undecided:

True, I'v had to use 5mm spacers to clear the front adjuster ring.

I think so depending on the wheels and ride height. My
mate is running 8 wide with no soacers up front IIRC

also if your going low check the state of your front wishbone rear bushes, as when lowering it puts extra stress on these and will split. If they are worn upgrade to Audi TT Bushes or poly bushes ( Note poly bushes can give a harsh ride.)
