I'm going for the first time next month can't wait!

Are they worth it though, seriously

Second thoughts depending on what they come in at i may be able to jump in the buy aswell

Sweet going to grab me a little pot need to do a touch up on one caliper at the back, must be someone previous fitting pads.

To make sure the same wouldn't happen again, would you put the members name up?

No worries, any idea where he got them from?

I reckon about 450 to insure for you but then again everyone's quote is always different, Make sure you look for one that is a GT model, has heated electric leather, Bose sound system, cruise control and rays alloys. Worth the £500 extra on a used car Welcome to the forum by the way, the modding will commence when you get one

If you have two spare fella, il take two clear buttons Pm me for payment mate

Just for off the phone from driftworks, just aswell as the rear would be set up wrong. I need to raise the spring seat back to maximum height and lower the shock enough so that the rear spring is captive and not able to move, once done lower the spring to my height in my case 7 threads and lower the shock again so that the spring is captive. Sounds easy enough to me. The front is as I thought, as I need to take the fronts off anyway just to triple check the spring preloads weren't touched, measure the bottom spring collar and bottom shock collars as they are now then lower them another 10mm, check they are at the height I want, lock it all up and voila done. I always other think things

Right doing it tomorrow, found out we didn't touch the front spring preload after all so that's one less thing to worry about Think I've got it correct in method now, the front I'm going to measure what the thread is now as I need to make it ten mm lower, take out the cups at the bottom measure 25mm plus whatever the shock is wound in to get the height it is now, for now let's say another 25mm down so that's 50mm down the shock, basically il measure 60mm and lock it on that and that should be the front done and dusted? For the rear, leave the springs as they are, which is 7 threads down (say 7mm for now) then take shock off and measure 25mm from bottom then basically screw another 7mm down so 32mm down the shocks and I should be level spring and shock right? Hope that's correct

Balls I really want a set of these but just paid out £xxxx in other stuff

Rather decats myself that's where the best noise comes from IMO, I had silenced decats buy found them to loud with my current exhaust so bought some motordyne art pipes instead. There's no better sound than these bad boys trust me

Just a DE one with lines in then, I want a HR bulge carbon one

Put 25mm rear and 20mm front Eibach ones on few days back, hasn't made any difference to steering feel or acceleration, once I've had a geo when the HSD settle I'm sure the result will only be better

It's one picture in its wrap how do we know what it looks like

Shame they don't make pilot super sport in 255/40 otherwise I'd have them, not going to drop down to a 40 on the 245 size though, looks like standard size it will have to be

I plan on cutting a larger hole on the rear yeah but won't need extended adjusters as a long Allen key easily fits down there, so the front spring il loosen until it slack then just tighten up and lock in, sounds good! Hopefully can get it sorted quickly and easily the second time round, strange way of adjusting though I must say

Yeah the spring locking is easy to do bit wondered what length the spring should be at as the instructions say don't touch the preload but we already have just want to know what the stock setting for the preload is

Maybe il stick to stock size then, shame really want a bigger rear width

Yesterday whilst fitting coilovers I found a nail in my rear tyre got conti sport contact 3 in 245/45r18 at the moment but wondering if 265/40r18 pilot super sports will fit on the stock rear rays, believe they are 8.5j Anybody know?

I'm not driving it this week as I'm away but as soon as I'm back I plan to get it on the ramp, take it all off, reset the shock heights and find out the stock settings for the front spring preload and put them back to standard (unless you know the measurements on stock Pete?) then get it all back fitted and leave it 100 miles then get an allignment done. You reckon on soft the handlings no good?

Right managed to adjust all the damping to softest, found a long Allen key for the rear. Went for a drive round the block, suprised how much the damping changes! It rides so lovely on full soft! Still think the top of the nsr shock is slightly loose as there's a knocking noise I believe, will check it all next time it's on ramp

I must need to screw the front shocks down another 10mm then and leave the preload for the spring alone, that's easy enough. Going to set the front to softest today aswell but the rear will be a pain as there's no hole big enough to get the Allen key down

I'm going to be re doing it in a week or so, I'm not using the car this week so will let it sit. The springs on the rear are only lowered 7 threads down which is perfect for me but I think the shock may be out of sync, what I plan to do is take it all off, take the cups out of the bottom of the shocks, measure 25mm then screw the cup up to that then adjust from there, so I'm assuming once its at that 25mm length the shock will be at its lowest point? I'm pretty sure we moved the front spring preload a tad aswell

Evening all Got my HSD DT on today with Eibach spacers,, however I need to re adjust them again to make the front about 10mm lower, just want to find out how you boys have adjusted them. The adjustment is nothing like I've seen on others so just want to check I've done it correct. We twisted the shock body to do tha height but couldn't quite work out how and where the spring preload adjustment should be sitting in relation to the length of the shock, same with the rear as they are inboard rear springs which the height is adjusted by the spring collar that's fine and where I want it but can't work out why there's adjustment in the shock to go up and down when the height is done by the spring. Going to adjust the damping aswell two clicks softer front and rear just a little to bouncy on rippled roads but so far with these on so good, the ride and handling is much better than standard So how have you guys done yours? Cheers Arran
