Best coilovers for low rears
« on: 04 June 2013, 19:29 »
Need more lows! All the way down on the back and have taken the rear adjusters out, still too high!
Anyone recommend any coilovers or lowering springs to get lower. Currently on budget JOM's

Can't find any shorter springs, they all go around 30-45mm :/

Haha yeah!

Get air if you want to touch the tyres!  :laugh:


Rears are 18X9 et 25 (20mm spacers) and I'm wound down to the bottom with no adjuster but kept the seat in. Rubbing a little it's having the adjuster back in!

Front needs to go down !
