[Mk2] [NA] Coilovers are on! Better Pics..

[Greddy-Matt]

Well the guys at 3S did a sterling job yesterday and fitted my coilovers, the ride is very good although ill reserve judgement untill its all aligned etc, but so far so good, even if i did nearly loose my teeth on the first man hole cover i went over

The whole set up definately needs to come up 5-10mm to stop the tyres rubbing but im well chuffed!

[Harry]

Looking great

Which coilovers?

Hats off to James@3 S SERVICE CENTER

[Driftlimits Performance]

and you need 25mm spacers on the rear!

[Greddy-Matt]

They are K-Sport regular fast road coilovers, pretty good to install by all accounts too, just about everything is adjustable on them !

I was thinking of getting Volk TE37's when i can afford them But will definately need spacers in the meantime so i dont have to run positive camber on the front to stop the rim clashing with the springs!!

[nick200]

sweet ! ahh a car can never be too low.

I agree also, the front rims are too close to comfort to the spring itself. On mine it was about 2mm clearance with a 7 width wheel and et42

i feel a new group buy coming on ....... spacers & low profile ally trolley jack !

[Spidey]

Cool - can I ask how mcuh / where you got them ?

LMAO so you can see why i had issues with 7 inch and a 45 offset and hence had to camber out the wheels to compensate for it
Im glad James drove it off the ramps, I sure as hell couldnt have

The M3 in the pouring rain yesterday was how shall we say interesting

We got these as a group buy from Apex Performance mate, £533 all in with a 25% discount...

[TheRoadWarrior]

Congrats, glad you have them fitted!

[Greddy-Matt]

Yep, really pleased with them, just trying to get used to the ride now, need to get it all squared up and play with the damping/rebound settings etc

I have the bug now, whats next guys? Anti-roll bars

[craig]

Looks really good mate, agree about the spacers on the rear, otherwise

[Greddy-Matt]

Cheers Red Yep definately need the rims flush with the arches now, shes getting there ....

D'oh - missed that GB

Hi mate, good to see

Get a proper 4-wheel laser alignment done now...

I'd at least get an uprated upper front strut bar, and uprated ARBs after if budget allows. The upper front strut brace makes a HUGE difference with coilovers

Enjoy

[Greddy-Matt]

Cheers Leon, shes booked in for 4wheel lazer alignment and ballancing (thankfully) on saturday morning Re Brace do you mean one of these???



Or another brace chap?

Good stuff.

Yeh the Motoria jobby works well, it does for me anyway

[nakamura]

Looks excellent Matt. Wish id gone thro the coilover route. Would have cost me the same as my dampers and springs. Still i was a bit green back then.

[Greddy-Matt]

Cheers mate, yeah, hence why i went this route, although im finding the ride pretty harsh at the moment, its taking some getting used to, although the girlys will love going over rumble strips now but it should all be worth it

[nakamura]

Yeah but imagine the bouncy boob action going over bumps now!

[tubby_mr2]

lol lookin good matt how ya breaks feelin?

[zebidi]

Yeah but imagine the bouncy boob action going over bumps now!
