MY GE8 Project

[040501912]

Got the coilover today,

but having trouble installing it, as the bottom studs holes on the coilover doesnt fit onto my front arms...

the holes are smaller than the stud bolts =.=...

will see how it goes in few days lol.. and put on some installation pict

[dyljoy]

doesn't fit onto the front arms? i thought AUDM jazz would same as JDM fit, what happen?

[040501912]

I have to check it again ... =.= most probably its GD model !! OMFG !! not GE .. i might have to re-drill it .. to make the studs fit..

[FitRS]

doh..!

[dyljoy]

WTF, they gave u GD one, not GE? u should have a talk with them, see what happen.

[Zimp13]

ge is heavier than gd.... coil designed for withstanding the weight for gd may not last as long as it should b if installed on a ge..... i might b wrong.....

[040501912]

Yep JDM have different sized holes than others. Drilling carefully to the correct size works with no problems.

this is what i was thinking too..

no more DIY gotta go to the shop on friday ..

will let u know by then .. damn its annoying!! argh..

now im scared that my cusco front n rear sway bars are going to be like that too ....

[dyljoy]

I think u'd better double check it by contact to the seller about this, coz i am strongly concern that they give u the incorrect model of item, if so, u can exchange it rather than mod it to suit your car, just my thought, mate. Good luck!
