Freebird Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Spent today attempting to make the car look pretty after I fitted my XYZ coilovers over the weekend. Here are some pics. I want to go somewhere decent to take some nice photos with a decent camera but for now just iPhone pics im afraid The fleet Bonus of my old car too (still miss it) Oh and the one that burnt down....sadface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gudzy Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 One word, spacers. Does look good though. I'm tempted by some coilovers to go with my new wheels, I nearly got these HKS LS+ earlier: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190646331676 but I only went to £400 as I've not really decided if pratically they'll be a good idea yet as I think I'll end up scraping everywhere as there are a couple of places on my journey to work which could cause a problem. Someone I know has a yellow vx220, he loves it. Hes a bit on the large side though, I've got no idea how he manages to get in it (or out). The only journeys I ever did in one was as a passenger in my brothers lotus elise 111s on the motorway for a couple of hours. It's not really much fun when not sat behind the wheel.

Freebird Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Coilovers are a VAST improvement imo, its a must buy really. You dont even have to do a large drop in height its more the fact its stiffer and the fact that you can adjust your dampening settings for mood. i.e. stiffen them up for a trackday or wind them down a bit for a more comfortable ride. I personally wound my dampening up to max and it doesnt really feel that harsh, could do with dropping the dampening down on the rear slightly for a more comfortable ride. But then again my VX220 was on coilovers (both cars) and they were set very harsh and stiff. Also tell me about the spacers! sweet jesus lmao, I dont want to fork out £200 for spacers when I intend on buying wheels that actually fill the arches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
