spadam 7 Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Coilovers went on last weekend couple of pics need to get some better quialty pics with my camera at some point when ive lowered it a bit further. Think i may need to remove the rear adjuster. It has settled a little lower since i took these pics but need to space my rear wheels out now so on the look out for some spacers.

spadam 7 Posted July 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Yea cheers to Jim for supplying the coilovers and Paul for the fitting. Yea Il have those spacers I think Jim do they come with extended bolts. How much do you want Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Spacers don't come with extenjded bolts . They are h and r . Ill dig them out later and measure them . Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Next up is to remove the rear adjusters so it sits a little lower and then get a decat fitted along with a unitedmotorsports map. Wanting to get my wheels refurbed around christmas time with some new tyres. May get some new wheels and sell the Santa Monicas. Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Progressing nicely Adam. I had to remove my rear adjusters to get it sitting lower and a de-cat makes a noticeable difference in throttle response but no noticeable increase in power. If you have a re-map you can opt for launch control aswell and I would thoroughly recommend seeing Matt. Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Small update coilovers are great and ride really well really pleased with them.Got a knocking from the rear end so will be changing my rear drop links next weekend which should stop the noise with any luck. The hard job will be replacing my front drivers side window clips. On the way home from work today on the motorway i hear a loud bang and my window had dropped. So had to rmove the door card and inner metal section and pull the window up and support in position and tape it up. Need to buy myself some new metal window clips and replace them. Anyone ever done this on a mk4 4motion looks like a challenging job lol. Link to post Share on other sites
