Why you not like yours being lowered?


Mines is 50% fitted fronts were a bitch but it'll be worth it. Gonna lower it about 60mm then see what its like. Might pick up spacers for the rear tomorrow and fit them aswell

 

[bbewekim]

how do you control the amount you lower? does it go on clicks? i.e. 1 click = 10mm? sorry for the n00b question.

 

[Matty.]

Theirs a c-cup adjuster which you use to spin the adjuster to what you want to lower it by.

As for 1click = 10mm etc im not sure

Just too much hassle with the state of the roads in my area and the speedbumps I need to go over on a daily basis.

 

[Red Rum]

Same here. Got mine lowered as far as it will go, which is 75mm if FK isnt lying, and they have got over all the speed bumps ive come across to date.

 

[Matty.]

Got speedbumps here too, but their the kind that i can just fit through the middle

Just leave it like that, so it looks like a top-fuel drag car!!
(if you've seen the american hot rods going up the strip you will know what Im on about).

 

[Rosco906]

thats how mines looks the now....

205 40's on the front and 225 45's on the rear lol

 

[Matty.]

Just finished mine now

Freezing as ****, but worth it.

Have put them on with the highest it can go, so dont know how lower than standard it will be. But even at that it looks mint.

No alloys on it so no point in changing settings around as getting alloys poss in a week or two.

Then gonna put up a thread on my car

iv now fitted these coilovers, at first i heard a scrapping noise coming from the front so iv put the shortened droplinks on.
However this has lifted the antiroll bar up quite abit, its cured the noise, but now i can here like a rubber creaking.
My first thoughts would be the rubber bushes on the antiroll bar. Any ideas, and how to stop it??

Also since fitting the droplinks the cars handling feels different, steering seems stiffer ( maybe because of shortened droplinks moving roll bar?) and it pulls to away when driving straight. The tracking should sort out the pulling to the side, but stiffer steering what could this be??

Your help would be much appreciated

cheers griff

 

[mixupz]

Please someone answer the above question! ^^ same problem ive been having for a while...i dont think my anti-roll bar bushes are the problem...

 

[LUFC]

LUFC, I have absolutely SAME PROBLEM!!!
I was fitted the TA-Technix from HotTuning eBay seller last week to my iBIZA 6L 1.4 16v Sport. Rear ones was OK, but front was scraping and beating. Today I bought shorter Droplinks from G-Max Part No: SBE46 (was £49) and problems are rising!!! The droplinks seems to be too short, so whole car is now swaying when i turn the wheels, beating noise is still same and in addition the new shorter droplinks WAS BENDED BRACKET ON COILOVER!!!

I'm so shiftless now, I didn't expect so much problems, likewise I'm fearing to drive that creaky car...

PLAESE, CAN ANYBODY HELP, BEFORE I'LL RETURN BACK MY ORIGINAL SUSPENSION AND THROW TA-TECH TO THE BIN???
