Good Call

[monkeyra]

Your asking on the wrong forum! You need to go ask over on Driftworks, as it was their GB.

[mattymr2]

just paid up in full. will be fitting them as soon as i get em, as well as my trd anti-roll bars.


any one else fitted theres yet?

[monkeyra]

I've done the fronts.

Will do the rears in the next few weeks, off on holiday tomorrow

[ccfc_harwood]

how did it go? im gonna do mine saturday i think. just hoping i dont have to change the droplinks

[mattymr2]

just fitting them today.


does anyone know if the top nut of the coilover is torqued already to the specified 55lb??

none of the ones on mine are all the way down on the thread either.


ive just finished fitting them just need to adjust the ride height as its at its heighest at the moment lol.

[ccfc_harwood]

did it go ok? i assume you used the original droplinks?

[mattymr2]

hmmm. it went ok. took longer than i expected as i wasnt sure about how the droplinks mounted as i removed them a while ago and replaced the anti roll bars aswell.

for some reason the rear coilovers are fouling on the body of the car as i imagin this will be resolved when the car is off axle stands and weight is on them.


just need to adjust the car height and go for 4 wheel alignment.

also need to find out if the top nuts come ready torqued.

Hi,

I fitted mine OK and the car was great to and from the MOT station. I didnt have problems with the backs like you say

Top nuts i'm not sure about.

Anyway, as I'm now breaking my car, I have my set for sale if anyone missed the boat and wants a set?

How low have people set them up for?

I don't suppose anyone took any measurements and recorded them before they refitted their wheels?

when they were off the car i set them all to there higest setting(so there was the minimum 2cm of thread left on the base of the coilover) as per the instructions.

i ended up lowering the front by 14cm and the back by 14cm. the front was still high so that is now as low as i can get it with the spring only in a captive state as i didnt want to start adjusting the springs load. dampning was set to softest allround as per instructions for the 30 mile settling period. the back was too low so i raised it by 5cm.

unfortunately i wont be able to try it until ive got my engine sorted...

[monkeyra]

Brilliant, thats a good help. I also did the same, set it up as per the instruction, and it's like a 4x4! I lowered it half the threads available, and it's still like a 4x4, so i'll do it all the way like you and see how it looks then.

Thanks!

Did anyone have trouble fitting the rears? I can only get one of the hub bolts in, when I try to line up the other, the shock hits the inner arch.

[mattymr2]

yes i certainly did. i used a steel bar to push parts of the suspension down so the shock lined up with the hub bolts and got a friend to but the bolts in while i held it in position.

[monkeyra]

Matt, can you take a look at this thread please and let us know if this might have been the cause?

ive responded on the oc mate. hope it helps

[monkeyra]

Thanks, appreciated

[ccfc_harwood]

so let me get this straight, theres a dodgey batch of coilovers that dont fit on the rear? is there anyway i can check before i get into fitting them? and if i have to make them fit will my alighnment be compromised?
thanks

[monkeyra]

I wouldn't say that exactly . Plenty of others have fitted theirs AFAIK. All you can really do is offer it up and see what happens. I seem to be the only one who can't get them to fit.
