Title: Quick coilover question
Post by: craig_t on August 22, 2012, 08:09:09 pm

Can anyone tell me or recommend which coilovers give the lowest stance? It's the rears I'm specifically after. Pics of what your running would be great too  :happy2:

Cheers

Has that Blue R32 got a static kit or is that airbags?

Are you able to give springs rates for any of the kits? :party:

Fk's do go low but in my experience ride a little harsh and crashy when running low

H&R's would be my choice well engineered kits using either koni or bilstein shocks with matched springs and with the tuner/show Market in mind, they are expensive but your only need to buy them once!

Or just go for airbags. They will have you siting on the floor.
