Are many of you running coilovers?

not yet, in the garage waiting to go on

thank god they aren't on yet with this snow, engine tray & under body plastics have all been removed on standard sport suspension

Will be very very shortly - I had them several times in the past and would always spend more to have them over lowering springs etc.

I was thinking of buying weitec ones.

So what else needs to be changed on the a4's?? On my last mk4 I needed to change the top mounts and bearings

[CHRIS555]

Cheers for that mate! They look great

 

[jd26]

Thanks alot

 

[CHRIS555]

Thanks alot

My pleasure mate - may I ask - what wheels are they, and what size are the tyres?

Cheers, Chris

 

[C17LJR]

mk5 r32/passat r36 omayts

think the tyres are 225/35/19 ?

Is it possible to adjust ride height on coilovers? (I am thinking it is, but have limited knowledge haha). If so, how much could you adjust ride height by? Surely in the snow you could lift the ride height to stop your front bumper becoming a snow plough?

Some really nice looking cars in this thread though, very nice indeed. I have come to the conclusion that if I do anything to my car it'd be lower it and put some decent sized wheels on it. Other than that, I love it!

 

[Jine]

Jd26 what size spacers are you running??

 

[CHRIS555]

Yes you can alter your ride height normally but if you dont know what your doing you will need a good mechanic to do it - personally, just dont take a low lowered car out in the snow!
