rear height
« on: 25 February 2012, 19:12 »
had my jom coilovers fitted yesterday. now a search reveals that the rear is an arse to get low, question is mine is on the lowest setting but has still got about an inch gap between tyre. will taking out the adjusters cure this ir do they settle down that much? i would have thought they would be lower, especially with the 19's

For £170ish there worth every penny ..... Quite bouncy on the rear and hard upfront though but they do the job and again for 170 you cant really complain to much lol

i wanted the fk's at first but fk have put them on hold due to quality issues! and plus these were 150 delivered :wink:
i've had them before on my mk3 and they were horrible due to being wound down right to the bottom. but i have to say these are not bad at all.
