Had them fitted on friday (finally), well chuffed. went for AP coilovers, and got them fitted at tuning werkes in croydon. The guys down there done a great job. Its wound all the way down at the back and theres still few more turns to be had at the front. They said it will go lower as it settles down?? dont know if this is true? but id think so seening as they are new and all. How would I get it lower at the back??
Pics to follow tomorrow too dark now!

The suspension will settle a little. I have APs the backs don't really go low enough. Two options: take out the adjusters at the back or buy custom springs.
There's a guy on here that knows details of the custom springs, they could be from G Werks.

Looks similar height to mine at the back. If I were you I'd use this over winter and lower in the spring by taking out the rear adjusters and tweaking the front accordingly. I suggest something like 15mm spacers at the rear too to make the wheels sit better.

I used to have 7.5x16 et45 audi wheels on it with 25mm adapters. ie. et20. Filled the arches at the back with just a little poke (195/45 Toyos). Fronts needed to be in 10mm.
I now have et32 7.5x17s need 10mm at back really which I might do tomorrow as I have the spacers. Most wheels need some spacing to look their best.
