NSW FS or Swap: FK Streetline coilover for Mk4 4Motion (R32 or Bora)

[PranK]

Am going to be removing my coilovers shortly and atm am considering getting a set of Bilstein B6's to replace them with. If you have a Bora or R32 and want these coilovers, then let me know what shocks you have atm and we can consider a swap (plus cash either way)

They've done about 2000k's in my car and I think they are awesome. The problem is that my wife and I swap cars a lot and she doesn't slow down for speed bumps. Theres no point being low if the car isn't driven like a low car, so the compromise is that we put my 30mm lowered springs back in with some good shocks.

If you want to buy them on their own, we'll start at $450 but remember that they are still in the car and wont be out for a few weeks at the earliest.

EDIT: Just ordered a set of Bilstein B8's so these are for sale only. Thanks guys and sorry for any inconveniences.

Why don't you just crank the FKs up to max height? Or are they still more than 30mm below stock in this position?

Yeah, min is 55mm, also when you wind them right up you lose a lot of spring bound/rebound due to them being squished.

If these go lower than my current coilovers in the rear, I'll take them!
Got any pics of rear height at lowest setting?

I cant remember how low this was, but I know it wasn't the *lowest* and the little adjuster thing is still in there.

Big differences in the lowering ability in the rear of FWD MKIV versus 4WD MKIV. We have less rear travel.

Any pictures from another angle? Is that tucking rear tyre? What tyres are they?

[trickysimon]

Sweet, can you also measure the height from the ground to the to the middle of the wheel arch please?
Sick of my car being so high!

You have another pm!

Just ordered a set of Bilstein B8's so these are for sale only. Sorry that I've been slack with responses, I've just been trying to work out what to do.

I'm hoping to have them out of my car by early next week. I'm also driving to Goulburn next Friday if anybody from the ACT wants to meet me there.

Simon, I'm sorry I haven't measured the height yet, I will do that today or tomorrow morning.
