Big Shrek Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 looks clean enough but sits too high and the wheels look too small-all in my opinion of course future plans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stidara Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 It does sit rather high and they are 18" going to get some coilovers to make it sit right and maybe a respray in white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stidara Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Tyres aren't my choice but they are brand new uniroyal raintech 2s all round with 35 profile would of opted for 40-45 profile but they came with the wheels , looking into a set of bc coilovera at the moment as the rear struts are knocking anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gaffer Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Hi,unless you go for coil overs that are height adjustable a set of shockers, kyb or otherwise will NOT lower your car, however a set of lowering springs will.The O/E shockers can be stripped and re greased to stop the knocking associated with them, however it usually only lasts around six to eight months depending on mileage covered.CheersKev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob5 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Do Tein spring s lower the car more then eibachs kev? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Hi,as far as I am aware both Tein and eibach lowering springs drop the car approx 24mm.We are Tein dealers and have some great pricing for coil overs, we did an 09 hatch back earlier this week, great quality product and at just £550.00 + vat a set they beat B.C. and racing logic in both price and quality.CheersKev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gaffer Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hi,ride height on coil-overs can be adjusted from on its arse to above standard ride height, however dropped to low and the angle of the drive-shafts gets so severe that they can pull out of the diff, we saw this last week when a "specialist" lowered a car to much, it cocked up all the drive-shaft angles and in this case broke a rear CV joint, and of course it drove like a pig, far to low.We find that 24mm drop from standard looks good and works fine.cheersKev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stidara Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 It's just far to high at the moment , I need to chane the tyres to a 40 or 45 profile as they are 35 at the moment , ideally I wanted to go for a set of kyb ultra shocks and eibach springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
