Went a little lower

[bryce]

After fitting the coils I felt the front was sitting a little high vs the back, so I dropped her another 10mm.

What ya think?

Looking good mate :thumbs:

Reckon thats lower then mine ! Have you got spacers , or thinking of adding them ??

[bryce]

Lowest setting in rear and 25mm thread left up front.

Got some 10mm eibachs from CA's for the front - couldnt drive it otherwise! Considering doing the rears now as well.

Got yours on?

Looks good. :thumbs:

Yeah only put 10mm on rears tho , as with Rays, on the front were rubbing , and they sit further out anyway on the front as they are a wider offset than the standard rims.

Finished tweaking etc now and just got it perfect .. on rails (Lowered rails) !

Nice one. Ive set my to reccomending setting but Ive hardly had the chance to give it a run. Roads are too wet / icy. Then needed spacers. And now need geo setup :moan:

Hope next weekend she'll be all good.

Looks good at that ride height! :smokin:

[Andyk]

Looking good :thumbs: ...what does it do to the ride though? or is yours purely a track day warrior so it's not a issue for you.

[RichW]

Looking well sweet :thumbs:

Agree, looks great and aggressive - just not sure that it will make the handling better ??

I dont track the car, but I think I might next year. Thats not why I bought the susp though.

What I wanted was: Lower height + Tighten things up, but to ride like std over bumps. Id say Iv achieved this.

Iv only done 20 miles or so on icy roads so couldnt push it, but immediatley I could feel its soooo much tighter and steering feel is amazing. It just feels so good, like that direct feeling you get with a go kart. Its like what Id imagine a race car to be like.

Ride wise, Iv set it to about 6/10 (10 being hard, 1 being soft) and I can honestly say its not much harsher than std. If you hit something (drain etc) it does feel slightly harder, but its not a sore feeling. My friend - who knows the car well - was suprised how standard like it felt, until I swung it through some roundabout, and well, two words.. Rollercoaster / Stomach. Im chuffed with this, because I didnt want to go a step backwards performance wise, and I didnt want it to be like a Corsa on some cheap springs.

Once Iv had my geometry done, and had a good drive, I'll do a good write up and answer any questions you may have.

So far, so good though. :-D

[Andyk]

So more about looks for you then...look forward to your report.

Ehh, yeah mostly I suppose, but I could have achieved the same with some nasty springs for a tenth of the price.

It was paramount that the change wouldnt be a step backwards, and Id certainly say it hasnt been.

Are you thinking of changing yours? Why?

[Andyk]

No, happy with the standard set up, but always like reading others experience with changes made. :thumbs:
