Coilovers?

[...joe]

£380 sounds pretty good (does that include vat?) i have highsports and they definately go lower than 55mm! i easily have 80mm although i swear i've measured it as 100mm before?

I don't think it includes vat, but I've found other sets from germany for 510 euro, not too sure sterling wise what that is. I'd imagine the shipping would bring that to about 600 euro, so about £400 ish maybe, on ebay.de if ya want to check.

Sounds like I'll get these ones so then, pretty happy with the price, didn't think I'd get them at that nice price.

100mm sounds good, I'll have to measure it when they go on, must get them first. My wheels should have left germany today, at last

Cheers,

Hi guys postman came with my new coilovers!!

I have fitted this weekend and they just dont look right i cant seem change the hight off them no matter how high or low the adjuster ring is any ideas where im goin wrong!!

First time ive ever fitted coilovers!!

cheers

in this pic you can see the two rings adjusted against each other, you need to seperate them, then wind down the bottom one as far as you want, then wind down the upper ring and this will lower the spring with it. once you are happy with the height, wind up the lower ring and lock it off against the top one using the c spanners. measure the others at a fixed point, like the photo shows.

Yep thats what i have done!! but even if i higher the ring the arch is siting on the wheel!! dont no where im goin wrong!!

what is this topic doing in cosmetic!

[...joe]

you need to keep winding it up then! it is a complete unit isn't it? most coilovers have a helper spring, a big almost washer like disc and the actual spring. if you have it wound all the way up and its still on the floor, something is wrong! get a photo up maybe?

yeh mate it is yeh it has helper spring!! i will just wind it up as much as i can then mate cheers
