Hey ye its defo coilys I have wound them down to the max they will go but they only drop 65mm
ermmm... think there is some pics of it on here already at the Glasgow meet not to sure if they a clear enough to see what I am on about lol
I am the bright yellow car haha
Gallery's not up yet, so can't unfortunately illustrate with that at the mo :/ From memory it did indeed look a little lower than Craig's (black mk2) that was running 40mm springs which sounds right.
Often coilovers I've seen do only offer a limited drop compared to some. I've seen kits for the Stilo that only go to 60mm odd BUT the benefit of them apart from normally being cheaper is the adjustment they allow if you want a normal ride height. From the sounds of it, that's something along the lines of what you may well have.
Something like these...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FK-AK-STR...CarParts_SM&hash=item415f3a111a#ht_1199wt_952 ...may be a good option...bloomin half the price of equivalent ones for the Stilo :laugh: That said, another seller's showing what looks like the same product...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FK-AK-Str...arParts_SM&hash=item35b2cdc06b#ht_4401wt_1185 ...and saying they only lower to the 65mm as you mention. Noticed this with an AP kit I was looking at recently, so maybe enquire directly with the seller to confirm for sure the drop each kit will give before buying.
There are other kits on there too, some a little over £200 but then most others are double, triple or quadruple that so quite a range to choose from. Before buying though, I'd certainly get feedback on any of the forums from those with first hand experience of them. Did that with my Eibachs so knew what I was getting before I handed over any cash
Also if you're lucky, someone returning to standard could well be selling their old kit off cheaply. Craig's selling his springs and front shocks off for example on here, so maybe be on the lookout for anyone doing the same with coilovers on here, other forums like Fiat Forum, eBay, Gumtree, etc.
Anyway, hope that's helped
