I've tried looking for the brand, but without success....so have to ask....what make/brand of coilovers did you fit to Laura?

JOM's dude :)


:love:



Right, thought I'd update on a few things that I've been doing!

Firstly, got some rear camber!
Hub off

Washers in

And in the calipers to bring them level with the discs

End Result, no more scrubbing at all! Though I think it might need a couple more mil spacing, but nothing major!

Next, cleaned out the inner arches, rolled the arches flat and pulled them slightly, then fitted new arch liners

How it's sitting atm, got some 10mm H&R spacers on order for the fronts so should get it sitting well!

Like the ingenuity of the washer spacing although I'm not sure I'd have faith in that as a permanent set up!

Can't really see much to go wrong, bolts are all tight enough ;)
Plus I had a choice of metal washers, or nylon shims....Don't think I'd want to use plastic lol


Got my tracking done today...both fronts were facing out by about 1-2 degrees lol, no wonder I only got 400 miles out of the tank last fill up!!

Babes! I'm loving the OCDness. Are you sure that's safe mate? Granted, you're only losing like a mil? of bolt length... but still. Spaced on the front and that should be sitting very nicely indeed! Good work on the arches babes :)

Thought you might like it :love:

Yeah it's pretty safe, i've heard of people running 2-3 washers, or wider shims, and they seem to run with no problems! Mine is only 1 washer, and there's still 10-15mm+ worth of bolt threads hold the hubs and calipers on :)

Your car is ridiculously low fella! My mate didn't believe me when I said it was on coilovers, he was sure it had to be on air :D

:happy:
Quite a few people said that too me, made my day haha!

Good shot of the rear camber! I like.

Cheers dude [B)]




After seeing a lot of the cars at UD, I now want another set of wheels :blink:
