Coilovers have arrived

[rossmarts]

Decided to buy myself a Christmas pressie and they just arrived



Just got to figure out if I should have a stab at fitting them or not and thereafter get the geo sorted.

fit em yourself, easy enough. are they BC's ?

if they are BC's, the top bolt hole for the rear hub is bigger than needed so you can fit a camber adjustment bolt (They dont tell you that though). if you dont have a camber adjuster bolt for the rear coilovers, just make sure you push the top of the hub assy in towards the car when you do them up otherwise your tyre may just touch the wheel arch (Mine did).

if you do the front first, you will see what I mean about the camber adjuster bolt

Good advice, thanks Andy. So reading your note, they can be fitted without camber adjustment bolts but is perhaps better to have them?

Cool....obscene cornering awaits!

correct. I had to fit mine without the camber bolts because i didnt know about them at the time but it would be better to get the camber adjusters, do any re-bushing to to the rest of the suspension as necesairy, then go for geo.

Looks like camber bolts are about 30 quid so I think I'll get some on order ready for when we give fitting a go. Thanks Andy

Fitted these (with a more than a little assistance) over the weekend. Even set to their softest it is still an improvement over the Prodrive springs.

Can anyone recommend somewhere to get the geo done in the T Wells / Sevenoaks area? Will obviously go further afield but don't want to miss anyone right on my doorstep who can do the work.

Thanks

Thanks Jura. Going to give Steeralign a go over near Maidstone. A few people in my motor club have been there and all seem to be pleased with the work.

DMS did the alignment on my S2000. Dixon Cheng then took me out for a shakedown which was exhilarating to say the least. Going that sideways in the passenger seat of your own car is a touch worrying though!
