bumping this thread for all the new coilover owners

 

[op55]

looked around but havent seen springs that drop over 1.5".. do most people just cut extra off to get the farther drop? and is there risk when i drop farther than 1.5"

 

[ThE Fx 45 BeAsT]

If you want a lower drop with adjustability n smoother ride coilovers are to go! Money well spent

Great lookin car

anyone running air runners?

 

[Ran2tho]

I have an 05 fx35, lowered on H&Rs on stock 20" and I'm looking for adapters for a more flushed look. Anyone with the same set up? Recommendations ? I was thinking 15mm front and 25mm for the rear

 

[AeroBFA]

I ran H&R DRM 25mm spacers on all fours and I liked that setup.

 

[GetLuckiFX]

^Like Andrew, I just put 25mm all around and it looks real good. (Pre drop)

 

[DoN BLaZe34]

I'll vouch for 25mm as well. When I had 20mm all around, I regretted not getting 25mm

 

[Ran2tho]

My gaps from tires to fenders is a little different from front to back, I'm afraid 25 upfront would poke it too much ?

Bump for coilover owners, trying to get some spec ideas

Im lowered on hnr and have 25 all corners rear is pretty flush

Sometime under load they get as low as one finger gap lol but sits flush

Fronts even with 25 is not exactly flush

 

[Ran2tho]

Thanks Angryfx

 

[angryfx]

Youll be happy with 25 all corners !!
