Title: Coilovers on / new plates
Post by: xtetx on 06 April 2012, 15:07
Coilovers are on! Shame one of the adjusters was defect which stopped us lowering it further on the back!
Once I've got the new adjuster and springs have settled might got a bit lower!

I wanted Eibach coilovers but a lad said they leak and I saw some on eBay that were leaking, plus a YouTube review video put me off!
Gone for Jom for now, heard nothing but good things for the money and I must say the ride is sweet!

Yes due to axle weight, they would fit a 1.8t but would not lower it so much.
