I've already got coilovers on my gp. So I've got Jom coilovers lowered max at front an running no adjusters at back. I'm also on 17" rims with 40 profile tyres. However the coilovers just won't go low enough for my liking as there is still arch gap at front and back. Thinking of switching to fk's as heard they lower a lot more. Anyone else got any suggestions about coilovers I could switch to or if fk do lower as much as people reckon?

Fk maybe lower but they are terrible.

Terrible ride and more than likely snap after few thousand miles.

Oh right. I've got joms at the moment and they've being brilliant to date but have heard mixed reviews about fks

Hey, I just fitted jom coils about week ago.. Rear with no adjusters and it is fine, but front is dropped like 3cm however it is almost fully lowered, still bedding? Any idea?

HarryS18 · Mar 29, 2015

Eeerm not quite sure mate. Have you wound it all the way down yet? And might be still bedding in.

multiair · Mar 29, 2015

Almost yes , front 1cm adjust left and helpers is still there.. I have seen pics with helpers and it has been much more lower than mine...

HarryS18 · Mar 29, 2015

Hmmmmm. What rims and tyres do you have?

multiair · Mar 29, 2015

Now 195/65R15 but diameter is same im my original summer wheels 215/45R17 multispoke

Looks very low already.. And clean

multiair · Mar 30, 2015

Yes I have exactly same problem... But my front is much higher than yours... Do you have bump stops? Original or the jom ones?

multiair · Mar 30, 2015

Ohh, and do you have helper springs on front?

Just have the original Jom setup on front so no bumpstops don't think. I've just got the standard Jom setup on front.

HarryS18 · Mar 30, 2015

And helper springs are still in on front.

HarryS18 · Mar 30, 2015

Can you take helper springs out on front?

multiair · Mar 30, 2015

Off course you can.. Might be MOT fail but you can get it much lower...
