I was thinking of initially doing a 1.5" drop...n see how that feels...n if its all good then prolly go down further to 2" (if i can still clear my driveway that is :P)
Now with wearing the coilovers in...how do i go about that...or is it just a load of bs?
from what iv been told wearing the coilovers in or bedding them in is easy. its done on a pretty soft setting and about 200km or a week of driving depending on conditions. everyones told me it needs to be done so im assuming it does. i dont know how important it is though. a mate ran his in on the drive to wakefield so who knows get a experts advice. il let u know on fri cause bells installing mine then.
dont worry about it -Scratch each others backs :wave:Quote:

BTW is this Shants gf ?
haha....mate...im a 19 year old guy...and i got no idea who Shant is.
Regardless, i think ill prolly do a 1.5" drop on 0 damper...and after a while change damper to a softer setting and if i see fit...lower to 2"

Yep, the concept is the same with all coilovers. The weight of the car, makes the springs compress more than where they started at. That being said, I dont think it moves as much as an inch - more like half an inch from my experience. One way to start to see the drop, is after the install sit on the boot with a mate and it will compress the springs a bit faster than with just normal driving.Quote:

Got my SS coilovers on order from japan (for my EF8). Probably still a few weeks away though. Can't wait coz my shocks are buggered. haha I'll probably cruise over to modproject as well put it on around 4/16 or so damper and lower it a single inch.
