Jack up the rear a bit, the camber is way out

[Damon]

But it looks good i had camber adjusters fitted, but when the wheels went straight they caught on the arches,. so took them out

[Bud]

Does it handle well or does it driving like sh!t?

It's a nice car though, good pictures to

[Damon]

I find i get less oversteer now, and the handling is still very very good. My old red EP3 wasnt so low, that was on Tanabe Sustec Pro coilovers, i had all the camber arms etc, so was sorted there, BC roll centre adjusters, and i think my Black one handles just as good if not better... all it has it XYZ fast road coilovers and the front camber and toe sorted thats it

looks good mate mine wos that low on the back! but i had to raise it up a bit because when i put my tools in the boot it wos nearly scraping on the floor , they do handle well this low dont they, mine had a frsu and handles out this world :thumbup:

[Damon]

Yea handling is very very good mate :thumbup:

I think the key to getting a car to handle well, is just to make it as low as possible.

[Damon]

handles good enough for my liking mate

We were both being sarcastic mate

would those -30mm springs from ABP or w/e have a negative effect on handling?

Not if setup right. This car is waaay bigger drop than 30mm......

I was just going go in some random garage and ask them to be fitted cause I thought its a direct replacement of OEMs?

You can do a direct replacement but your geo will be all over the place and the car will handle terribly.

Camber bolts and camber arms and a full geo (fast road setup) and it will be good to go.

Its lowered about 70mm front 80mm rear, i want to raise the rear a bit as it is too low.

I have had full Geometry setup done, camber, toe etc. Just not on the back

Will find out how it does on the track in April :thumbup:

[Carlos420uk]

1" gap above each tyre is best on coilovers, and also looks just right.

[Rebecca]

Mines about 1 inch gap and feels amazing after my FRSU.

i was under the impression your supposed to have the front lowered more than the back, surely with the front slightly lifted your going to create lift at the front of the car?

[Damon]

I didnt plan on the back going so low lol.
