Finally got round to getting the coilovers on the car. Also got the wheels fitted I got from Pez.

 

Looks fantastic, Ill post some pics tomorrow..

 

Problem is the wheels are catching now..

 

Should I raise the height or stiffen the ride??

 

Cannot decide which.........

aye no more interactive telephone dialler... lmao.. Although I do love those wheels, is anybody sees any advertised for sale please let me know...

Pics in the morning, ran out of light today...

Pictures added, got BC coilovers, stiffest setting and they still catch.. might raise 10mm and see what happens..

they're catching on your guard..... Rim and tyre are WAY too far out for how much camber you've got. you'll have to get your guards rolled. just to fold up the lip that steps inwards.

Are they catching front or rear bud?

 

here's a pic of them on the LWB fitted with TEIN's and DW camber arms

 

 

they look like 245's on the front which were the same I think?

NONONONO.... NO

 

NEVER ever ever set them to hardest or softest damping, always one click off or they will jam... if you want the shocks to have less travel up the spring preload the damping just controls how fast the spring moves, its the weight of the car that is causing the problem so more pre load on the spring is going to require more whack for the same travel.... there is some adjustment in the factory camber arms, and factory rear toe bars on an n/a toe can give u of more room if done right, but of course understeer/oversteer depending how you set it, if you have hicas it could be wreaking havoc in this department, and with all the altered suspension geometry it won't be working as it should anyway.

They are catching on the front and the back. less on the back though..

They are going in for 4 wheel alignment next weekend. You can see the camber is not right...

 

All new to me this, so playing to try and get it right...
