am i also right in thinking that even adjusting coilovers wont effect droplinks as its the size of alloy thats effected it . i have tried lifting them up but still the same awfull knocking

i thought it was if you lower over a certain length then you will?
so a combination of coilies + smaller wheels would do it!

wheels look good mate :)

i always thought they would look to small but when seeing them in person they did look great . would love to get them on bit the knocking is crazy and i couldnt see any evidence of droplinks hitting , if there was a easy fix to the prob i would keep them .

what sort of noise is it mate? Sounds silly but you 100% sure you cut down all the bolts enough? As one bolt might be a tiny fraction too long and casusing the wheels to not sit on tight. And you sure the adapters are bolted down tight?

Just last time i lowered my car some more i was getting a horrible noise and it turned out couple of wheel bolts had worked abit loose and it was the wheel making this horrible banging sound as it rotated at slow speeds. didnt make any noise at higher speeds!

its a really loud slow knoking at low speed then at higher speed like a galloping horse sound eg quick knocking . i really cant see one side hitting something so much and the other being perfect . :cry:
