That's looooow :lol:

Take out the # and a / from the links above, don't work otherwise except the last one. :thumbs:

looks great mate ive already got my 15 x8j wheels waiting to be fitted once coilovers are installed,how much mm have you got left on the front and rear to go lower?

 

[JBushell20]

I've got loads left if I want to go lower haha super bumpy ride if I go too low though... might try it though, see how it goes lol

 

[danbrush]

awsome.im going for a similar look but a bit lower! were they easy to fit?

 

[JBushell20]

Nice ! yeah they were pretty simple to fit, the only thing I'd suggest is getting hold of some spring compressors. If you don't get new top mounts for the rear coilovers, you will need to use the spring compressors on the old springs to get the top mount off..... Other than that, it went pretty easy lol

 

[danbrush]

oh right thats good then, just a hint,you dont need spring compressors if your taking apart original springs,or maybe its just me on my older 98 reg 1.7,i literally popped the circlip off myself as the spring is under hardly any tension! i think i might go for these coilovers if they are nice to fit and offer the lower advantage over other options,i am aiming for about 3 -4 inches between the arch lip and my wheel rim,dangerous people might say but thats the look im after,a difference! i really like your black on these wheels it looks a different car that low!

 

[JBushell20]

That sounds like a good plan, be good to see some photos when it's done.

Cheers, really pleased how it turned out, just need the new wheels in now ! lol

Just be careful how low you go. My arches are just above the tyre and I have trouble with speed bumps catching my Cat. The Miltek system looks like it sits lower than std so you might just want to check clearance.
