Joms and bump stops ??
« on: 13 August 2012, 16:50 »
I have done a search and know partially what ive got to do. On the rears i currently have no adjusters or cups just the springs so im gunna have to take out 2 buldges from the rear but what about the front ? I dont remember putting any in there ? The ride is quite harsh and knocky (ive done all bushes ect) im also going to be putting the rear cups back in soon so i can actually drive it properly !

Can be very risky to run without them

Well the fit regardless but being the first set of coilovers ive owned i presumed the really hard ride they give is what its suppose to be, then i came accross a thread which said about cutting them as it apparently sits on them when fully lowered on the rear with the Perches in .... I dont have anything on the rear so is 1.5 cm lower than that  :laugh:
