Sportline BE Lowering

[Stay Frosty]

Wouldn't a larger wheel do a better job of filling the arch too or at least taking your eye off of the present gap while you admire the rim?
That's an 18" with 255 45 18 sitting on H&R coilovers...

Mines already sitting on 18s with the 255/45 18 I’d like to keep them for the moment. May have to go NSL if I can’t get the Eibach down to where I want them

We got down in the end

Sitting properly now with no arch gaps and closer to the brochure picture!

What did you use to get it lower?

What did you use to get it lower?

Solow low suspension

It was the front to at wouldn’t go lower, machined top mount and there was still a 15mm gap rear was ok as it’s loaded.

I will add that the Eibach is more comfortable at its lowest setting than the Solows are at just below highest setting. Not horrendous but in my opinion the Eibach was better.

Have you still got the eibachs?

 

[Jayjmac]

Yes I still have the Eibachs. No rear adjusters as the grub screw had seized.

I've just done a mod on the eibach coilovers with shorter helper springs on front and rear adjusters removed, its worked a treat, didn't fancy removing the whole helper. That's crazy stuff! lol

Any photos of how low it sits?

Its down an extra 13mm when fully compressed, I believe Eibach state there kit to be 60mm all round.

This mod coupled with the rear adjuster delete takes the kit to 73mm front and 77mm rear
