coilovers help

Featured Replies

Ok so ive gone down the route of lowering my felicia with some FK 40mm drop springs but there not low enough to pull off my ronal turbos so the only way is to go coilovers

I have searched intensly on here lol and from what I understand is , ford focus mk1's on the front and mk3 golf on the rear , before I order some can anyone just confim this for me please

My friend can special order me some from both ford and vw so I won't end up wiith a kit off each car

thankyou in advance

Yes that is correct, if you lower it too much on the rear with mk3 coilovers it will be a very harsh ride. As for the front i would say get fk automotive onesas the the thread goes all the way to the top so dont need to modify anything....

thanks mate it was your thread I looked at for the information . Ile have to keep checking the bay for some in the future

thanks mate

Yes mk1 focus stuff fits but it's a very tight fit into the uprights, you would be bet off getting them machined out rather than trying to force them in.

so tight that I had to use sheer brute force to help them in, I recommend getting the hubs bored out, it's about 0.4mm ish, doest sound much but you'll never get them in by hand.

Spot on mate I can get them bored out at work no bother , cheers for the pics

I bought the fk springs direct from them , might be worth a cheeky email to see if they can do me a mix and match set of coilovers from the mk3 and focus .Just out of interest are all the mk1 focus coilovers the same over petrol and diesel range ?

thanks

It will early next week maybe Monday or Tuesday I'll dig out the rears and put them together and take some pics.
