I think it was around 6pm(ish) give or take 10mins or so. Thanks, someone said something about reverse rake but I don't reli know what that means lol. I'm happy with my JOMs so far, they are my first ever coilovers so have nothing to compare them to

 

[char_baby]

Looks good, I also have no idea what the reverse rake means either

Just googled reverse rake lol, he said he has set the height higher at the front for now as he said they could settle quite a bit following previous experience with the same make coilovers on a bmw 3 series touring, he has done a lot of coilover installations so he really knows what he is doing lol.

I just googled it, something to do with the front being higher than the back lol

 

[char_baby]

I was in red lodge going to my sis about 6 mate, and yeha thye'll do for me

If you want it to settle quickly, stand on the boot and bounce haha. Looks like it could do with going down about 5 threads at the bottom!

And yeah reverse rake is where the front is higher than the back!

Lol, not sure yet, might take it down further still lol. Spacers won't be until half way through the year if I decide to lol

Just I saw a grey Leon with btcc kit at the bell pub cross roads and thought it was you lol

So does that mean if I want it to settle quickly at the front I got jump on the engine lol. 5 threads at the bottom?

Haha you can just push on the wing with the bonnet open.

Yeah 5 turns on each adjuster on the front (from looking at the pictures) and it'll be level.

Looks wicked lowered! So much better, and its just the right height, dont like it when cars are stupid low!

 

[blackmagicibiza]

Well I'm going back to my mate who fitted them on the 23rd so he can do the tracking as his new machine wasn't up and running yet. He said he will stick it back on the ramp and put it lower if I felt it was still to high by the time it has settled

Just realised it wasn't you coz yours has the square front plate

 

[Tricksc]

looks good on the coilovers mate, how does your ibiza handle now you got coilovers fitted.

 

[Mark_Karting]

Hopefully all will be fine once they have bedded in Just for example:

Reverse rake, looks terrible:

Forward rake, looks a lot better:

Forward rake is functional too

 

[LC_15]

Yeah and my car is black too lol, so confused what to get next for the motor lol got half a milltek sitting here lol might get it fitted or get coilovers and my rotiform wheels or get map **** its difficult lol

HOw is the handling with the Joms?

 

[blackmagicibiza]

Thanks its a different kind of ride to the standard suspension that I had on the car. It's not like my mums 1.4 sport like your but it's still kind of firm if that makes sense

 

[blackmagicibiza]

Didn't mean to put like yours lol, was meant to say. It's not like my mums older shape 1.4 sport lol
