Dude, im seriously jealous you picked up the coilovers

Hopefully i'll find some soon..

Ha well they're no better than Hottunings. Plus for that bit extra, the Hottunings come with strut caps I think.
What's an extra $200!

Took a spin in it.
Way too much negative camber in the front left, but rides soooo much nicer. Standard shocks/springs were well and truly past it.

Rides smoother, however how low have you got it? meaning if you go pretty low, do you reckon it will have a nice smooth ride, or will it be hard..

**Jace** · 24-06-2010, 11:47 PM

Nah it's legal height for now. Rides better because its firmer.
The standard set up was so far gone that the car would rock back and forth on gear changes and just had a stupid amount of body roll.

Moar low after RWC.

LOL i think my rear shacks have gotten to that state as well. In vic how low is legal?

I'm un certain if it were a pack if cigies, or a can of coke, care to elaborate.. ahaha im hoping to go low after i paint my rims.

it's 100mm to the lowest point of the car,. this is generally measure to sills/gaurds/arches/bodykits/exhausts etc. if a cop is really in a bad mood they might lean under the car and look for a low point. For us, this would be control arm mounting points and the sump/gears.

gday mate,
how much did it cost to get your rims sand blasted??
i bought a set of mint vw hub caps nd the way you have done your rims the hub caps would look great on.

cheers Ethan
