hey all got them on ok and iv got the adjust nut wound all the way down does that mean thats the lowest or the highest the suspension will go cause i wana go a bit higher and i assume with the nut all the way down that means thats the highest it will raise the car???????? because at the moment the car is tooo low

[Pullstarter]

If its the nut below the bottom spring seat and its all the way down the bottom of the thread that is the lowest you can run them, should be scraping its ass on the ground at that level I imagine?

can't wait for a review and some pics!!!

pics or ban!!! lol

[evorobin]

Rude awakening after oem. Handling makes up for the ride though

lol driing around with your sump scraping on the ground aye

[mk3pete]

ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeeaaaahhhhhhh f**k yeah thats right soooooooooo much better, excitement is overwhelming if anyone is thinkin bout gettin these it is well worth the money, they all seemed to bolt on allright except the front ones have an allen key insert on the top to hold the strut so you can tighten them up 7mm and the kit didnt include a 7mm allen key, 7mm is an odd size so i had to grind down an 8mm allen key to get it in, extremely annoying

anyways that was the only down side to this kit ride quality has improved ten fold
no more body roll
also traction has improved i assume that because of the stiffer suspension there is less weight transfer hence more weight on the front wheels

and i cant put my 16x8s on yet cause i have to get my guards rolled and some thinner tyres so runnin the stocks for now

il post some pics wen i get my 16s on theres not much to look at yet not very exciting but yeah very happy

for those who want to get these on the fronts i measured 45 mm from the bottom of the lock nut to the bottom of the thread
the rears are about 65mm

PICS petey PICS!

Glad to hear they all worked out though. It would be interesting to compare these to another brand of coil overs. see if there is any real noticeable difference?

[mk3pete]

me not knowing how other brands feel i have no idea but they seemed fairly comfortable to drive with a lot firmer but the ride wasnt too harsh just rite i must say

[ScienceVR6]

good to hear, looked sweet as sitting on its arse when i left.

[mk3pete]

yeah man thx toobad i cant roll on me 16s yet

it drives as good as it looks

[rayray086]

Good to hear you got them in alright - did you get an alignment? But duuuuude we need pics!!!! Even with the stock steelies on, don't care!

[mk3pete]

ok ok il get some pics tomoz after i wash the dam thing there the stock bbs 15s

iv booked my car in for wensday all well better late than never i finished my car at 430 and quickly drove it down to wheel and tyre place i was too late and my car was way to dumped to even think about driving on to the hoist lol

[bboyskidz]

dammit mk3pete... you are not making it any easier to decide between a set of these or a new sound system :j lol

At <$600 I'm thinkin its a steal. Especially if they are just straight up bolt ons. How much for a set of mounts and where would I get them? I've not checked the old ones yet.

[mk3pete]

f**k the sound system off and get yourself a set off these my man, money much better spent yesty and today iv been havin a ball hoonin around my back streets and such cant get enough out of it, today i went down the street twice for food just to drive the thing lol

[mk3pete]

ohh yeah another down side to this kit is the c spanners they came with are useless they dont fit and slip off so i had to borrow some from work you can get a good adjustable c spanner from cbc bearings or a industrial supply shop 30 bucks i assume, you will need two of them im going to order some decent ones tomoz

as for the mounts i used the originals cause they were in good condition somone mentioned that earlier in the thread there not too expensive but
