Coilovers on with pics

Post by KennyPOLO_Gti »

Got the coilies on this morning :-)

Cupra wishbone bushes and drop links were also fitted.

So far the ride seems a but bumper than the springs but nothing greatly! No creaks or cracks which i am happy about! TBH am very happy, they are very comfortable! :D

The guy that fitted them made one mate, took him two secs to do :D

They could go lower really with the rear adjusters out dont ya think, or am i being greedy!

Cheers folks :D

Very please with them, starting to get use to the bouncy ride lol!

The back could really go futher down but that the adjusters out and everything so gotta live with it. Looks good mind you with the nose heavier look.
