Grant Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Will look loads better when refurbs are on!They're almost there. One last one to finish rubbing down. Then get the tyres fitted. Will look lovely I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marv Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Are the ek coilovers a straight fit? Or do the rears require washers? Looking forward to the finished pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Straight fit mate. Well rears are and I'm almost certain fronts will be too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 So far so good. All the awkward front bolts have come undone reasonably easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 And so. Here we are, completed. Just about. Taken for a test drive and I am amazed, for several reasons. Firstly, it counquered every speed bump that I regularly encounter. (Except the huge one at work, but they lock the office complex down on the weekends. Will find this one out tomorrow morning lol. Secondly I am amazed by the ride quality. I loved these coils on the EK. They were incredible on track. But I was quite worried about what they'd be like on the M. I've wound the sprigs rates back to no preload and got them on dial 6 of 16 on the damping and the ride is great! Yeah ok, you know you have coil overs on, but no where near what I though they'd be like. There were no issues, no seized bolts, all came off hassle free (minus one from the abs sensor on the LCA. So all in all, am chuffed. Front could probably go another 10mm, but don't want to risk it with the speed bumps. I'll let the pics do some taking now As always, opinions/comments please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Looks perfect ride height to me just above tyres! Refurb wheels will set it off a treat. Can wait to see what I missed out on at japfest lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
