Agree with you Stu, raise it, aside from scraping it all the time it looks too low

Hi Stu  

hi lee

when we fitted these last friday we raised it so there was 20mm of thread on the front and 30mm at the back

today i raised it so there is now 50mm on the rear and 45mm at the front

heres the pics of how it sits now









like i said,i havent drove it much but its got to be better, right?

I still think that looks slightly too low to be honest mate

it might still go up yet

Nice job,the engine bay looks spot on!

Going on my experiance of coilovers, there wasnt a lot of difference in ride quality with them all the way up compared to all the way down.

Either way they are designed not to have give in them.

Looking better, I would go a tad higher personally, but only for look and not to scrape all the time. Like Norm says, may not make any difference to the ride.

Still looking sweet though

rides so much better and it doesnt scrape any of the bumps around my area aswell

result!
