Spare wheel affecting height?
« on: 13 March 2012, 20:18 »
Here's one for ya :)

Got rear all way down on jom coilovers but there is still a fair gap so just had a thought, I has taken my spare wheel out (save weight) would puttig in back in for example lower it more. Reason I ask is that looking at other pics of people wound all way down there wheel looks alot closer to arch?

Thanks

Different brands of coilovers maybe? The FK's go lower than joms apparently.

Haha
Not an option as the mk4s don't need any more weight added to them lol

Could b coilover brands then.

Bumpstop possibly?

Spacers sometimes help. When I put the 20mm on my rear wheels, as it now sat flush with the arch, the tyres touched the arches. Before it looked higher if that makes any sense..
