Coilovers on...

**Happygilmore78** · Saturday 23rd April 2011, 21:14

Put some time aside on Saturday to get these, fitted - to be honest glad I did, as all the old struts were leaking badly, and also was a lot quicker than i expected, real quick............... well apart from stubborn old nuts!!

Have only installed them, left them as factory set regarding the height, not adjusted anything yet, apart from damper hardness etc - once settled, I will lower some more if i want, but to be honest, looking at them i am quite happy with it as it is for now, plenty of time etc.

Have to say, I quite like the ride also, plus handling is awesome! just need to sort the tyres now so it grips.

Anyway, some pics - exhaust hopefully next couple of weeks.

looks a very nice set-up, how much did they set you back if you don't mind me asking

Looks great, job well done I'd say. I bet the handling is miles better than it was regardless of the fact you need better tyres.

One thing, do you not utilise the original rear bump stop with this kit?

Cheers guys, they cost 1p short of 700 quid, i think 709 delivered! which is a good price considering the ones I originally want didnt have any damper adjustment etc or camber like these do.

Very quick delivery also, from being made etc.

No, the back bumpstop is replaced with a metal spacer type dougnut, which slips over the pertruding nipple (so to speak) to which the spring sits into with a plastic washer at the top, I think you can just about see it in the pictures. The bottom bolts on using the existing hole etc.

The kit is off a S70/V70, but was tested on a C70 - to be honest I thought they would have all been different, but aparantly not

Looking good,what size are your alloys?

Very nice indeed, cars sits a lot better to.

Cheers, the more I look at it the more I am thinking of not adjusting anymore, could slam it, but think it looks good this height, they are 19"s bud

Mmmm.....very nice. What make are they?.

**Happygilmore78** · Sunday 24th April 2011, 21:20

Coilovers are made by BC Racing, think they make them to order, but like I say, real quick, and Kev, the guy that works there is a nice guy, was sending me pics etc to confirm positions etc
