Chandler Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 much better mate i set my coilovers up parallel so i know they were going to be the same height, but the drivers side seems to be slightly higher :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Looking good mate! Regarding height, I did the same as Alex, set them up equally, however unless your on a perfectly flat surface, and I mean absolutely perfect, the ride height isn't equal. Only by 4-5mm. But I'm anal like that and can see it. The woes of coilovers lol. But she handles spot on so wouldn't want to sacrifice normal ride height for handling.

Tape measure for the win! Check and check again and when you're 100% sure, check again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey135 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Thats it Alex, mine is on the drivers side too... Same thing with coilies when first fitted... Set them up next to each other equally then when fitted the N/S/F arch was 21.5" from floor and O/S/F arch was 22" from the floor... Same on rears lol but nvm!!

snakey135 Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Got a 4 poster at work, probs would have been best to measure on that but never mind, i know theres roughly half an inch in it between sides but not too fussed at the moment lol... Blue is what im after mate ideally, and need to have the hex attachment as the rim holes are proper tight lol!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
