gavt123 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 bought some fk coilovers from ebay only £208 so thought i would give them a try and im very happy with them so far the ride is still smooth and not bumpy and hard which is what i wanted only thing was the rear springs are crap removed the adjuster cup and they still wasnt much lower than my old springs, anyway heres a couple of pics after fitting.

Blair Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Looks low enough to me if it was mine I'd be putting some spacers to get the wheels out further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anastasios87 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I have been very tempted with these.. Give us an update once you ride a few more miles about ride comfort/performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyZ Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Looks good, poss bit too low IMO but still good, spacers would be a nice touch now too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz 330 Cs Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Looking good You just need a wheel re-furb and some Endurance gel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavt123 Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 cheers guys, defo need spacers but they can wait for now going to get new springs made for the rear (a mate has his own spring company) ordered new indicators and side repeaters then need to sort the front arches as they are rusting away. The front wheel is the only wheel with a scuff cant really notice it now there clean will get some better pics tonight in the gym car park :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arry Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 What alignment parts have you needed to get back into spec to run that low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavt123 Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 all ive done is fit the coilovers and drop it back on the wheels mate havent touched anything i thought the rear camber would have been alot worse than it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arry Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Ah right, ok. Are you planning on having it aligned? I'd be interested to see how far out of spec the settings currently are and how much you can get back on stock adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavt123 Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 i will do at some point wont be going for standard setup though, when i get it done i will put a pic of the results but it might be awhile got loads on in the next month or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc l Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) That looks nice and a decent price too My only concern with lowering my 46 is the ride comfort. Is it much worse then standard? Edited September 12, 2011 by marc l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Syxx Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 That looks nice and a decent price too My only concern with lowering my 46 is the ride comfort. Is it much worse then standard? Any coilover setup will lose some ride quality. It will really depends on the coilovers your using, mine are JOMS and yes you do lose some of it but its not harsh and I expect those FK's are the same as JOM's just rebranded differently.
