lowering and spacing question

[sammyboy92]

im planning to lower my mk3, but looking at the coilovers they say spacers may be needed, my wheels are 17" et40 other than that its currently just a standard mk3, what sort of spacers will i need to make them fit ?

[boneybradley]

I sell coilovers and non of the sets I sell mention spacers (they are usually narrower than std shocks/springs), the only issue you may have is fouling if you go too low (and that means raising it or trimming the arches)

What set are you looking at?

[sammyboy92]

Thanks, trimming the arch would be Ok,   to be honest I just want cheapish ones really, I just want the look rather than performance,  what sets do you sell,  do you have a website?

[boneybradley]

My budget range are £185 delivered
(they can be from a variety of brands FK - Jom - TA Technix as I deal directly with several German companies to keep pricing competitive as I can)

I also offer a top mount kit (which are really essential when fitting coilovers) at £30 when bought with coils (for a febi kit) (and for all 4 shocks)

You may only need spacers if the wheels are close to the shock, arches will need trimming however, I had 17" on mine with around a 80/70 drop and even after trimming the arches they rubbed.

I will warn you now that on cheap coilovers the ride will be crap.
