That is going to look sick once you put the coilovers on it. Very nice car!

Without annoying the admins by selling on a build thread, They will be sold to first come first served. Already had some interest from a few people. And lets say they were for sale I would probably put them up for £50

This is obv all if, maybe and buts though of course hahahaha

[reece1591]

need to get coilovers fitted asap so we all have new pictures to admire lol

 

[t.oldaker]

Right well then finally got round to buying some coilovers for the car. Got all excited for some mega lows with the stated 120mm drop. However this is not the case.

I have since out them on and have only seen a max 50-60mm drop maxed out on the fronts and the rears ive had to raise as they tuck rim all the way down but the fronts dont even tuck tyre. Bit miffed to say the least so looks like im going back to the company to ask for a full refund or atleast 50% and then take the helpers and cut the bumpstops. :/ Other than that issue they fitted perfectly and the rears looked awesome!!!

ow yeh wheels are 17" as well.

And means my apex 35mm lowering springs are now up for sale, based in Berkshire. Pm me for details.

 

[reece1591]

ahhh thats a shame for the money people have to spend on coilovers you would think they would drop whats stated.....

 

[ayacoub92]

i'm sure you'll be able to get a refund if it stated 120mm on the box!

 

[mwillis551]

Is that as low as they GO?!!1

 

[t.oldaker]

Yep thats on max but still has helpers in so can drop a bit more. The rears can sit on the tyre pretty much. Trying to get 50% refund and keep them atm as compensasion for faulse advertising. They basicly said they wont go 120mm without modifying them.... But no mention of this in the ad... its either pay me 50% refund or face a 100% refund if i take it to ebay themselves. They offered me to box them back up and send them back for free but thats not the point as ive already spent my time and money fitting them and would have to refit my springs.

oh god sounds like isnt all going well for you... if it comes to it u may have to face the fat of jsut removing the helpers and having to leave it as it is..........

 

[reece1591]

yeah say its just cost you load to get garage to fit them and for you to send them back you will have to pay it all out again and get old springs re fitted etc. lay it on nice and thick and make it impossible for them to get out of it and not give you something in return.

 

[seatleon2012]

i was going to look into coilovers next but if tom having this much problems with it i dont think ill bother
