I have actually raised it up by 2cm as the misses is driving it soon... :'(

Ride is good considering its fairly low. it does however knock so in touch with supplier to sort this out.

Overall :thumbup:

Looks a gazzillion bazillion times better.. :thumbup:

the knocking will be your ARB on driveshaft or some form on knackered bushes. wouldn't have though it would be the actual coilovers.

:yes:

vast improvement :thumbup:

Height looks spot on!

I need coilovers now!!!

Its coilovers, the springs are knocking :(

Been on the 'jogger' at mates work to check bushes etc

:yes: :thumbup: looks really good,

how much the coilovers set u back?

Coilovers are AP coilovers - they retail at £400 inc vat and I got them for £350 inc vat.

First two pics are on standard shocks and springs :thumbup:

cheers adlav time to go put order in for the koni strt kit now, i didnt think the vrs sat so high lol :no:

loving the wheels too

No problem, coilovers always allow extra movement if you want to go crazy low - believe it or not I have room for another 55mm + to lower it! Mad!

Wheels are awesome, look good in the sunlight as they have lots of pearl mixed in the grey.

looks good imo not too low just nice ride height, can u tell a difference between ride and handaling compared to standard

Looks mint mate.

Bet you are well chuffed :):thumbup:

Ride is as standard, not too hard, not too soft! Very impressed so far! :thumbup:

I'm well chuffed, keep getting people point at it now :giggle:

looks sweet now mate, my first job was the coilies emoticon-0103-cool.gif ...emoticon-0148-yes.gif

**** me what a diiference. If that was silver it would look spot on :giggle:

I may have to invest in some octy wheels. Did your standard ride height chance at all with them on?

It's a good job you wasn't there on Tuesday.

I may very well have triumphed in my pants when I saw those wheels up close....

Don't take this the wrong way but...If you die... Can I have 'em?? :D

Absolutely love the colour and finish.Height is a bit low for me but I'm all old and boring ;)

The wheels are exactly what I want for mine... Just my cuppa tea :yes:

What caused the pain when fitting them - any tips to make it a bit easier for the rest of us??

Looks great mate, nice one :thumbup:

Looks well that matey, approx how low have you gone and is there any wheels scrubage at all?

sweet but needs to go LOWER :D

Coilovers were by far the beat thing I fitted to my Fabia, I have mines at the lowest with the adjusters and helper springs still in. Can take them out but the car would be un driveable lol!

I let my mrs drive mines as it haha

looks good though mate transforms the looks of the Fabias imo and yours with the spiders and coils looks brilliant

You need to update your sig pic Adam - the photoshop is far too high! ;)

Silver would look good with grey wheels, not better than black though :rofl:

Rather strange request to put in my will :giggle:

Colour is best viewed in the sun as the pearl sparkles :)

It was un-doing the bolt at the top of the strut, the one above the top mount! Best bet is to have the right tools to start, the list on Fabia-vrs.com is slightly wrong.

Looks great mate, nice one :thumbup:

Ta! B)

Looks well that matey, approx how low have you gone and is there any wheels scrubage at all?

Maybe 60mm +? No scrubbing, wheels are ET friendly and not too wide so all good! :thumbup:

sweet but needs to go LOWER :D

Lower, i'll have no sump left!

Makes the car look more aggressive. Front can go lower but sump would be a problem, rears are at lowest. Will leave it to settle then re-adjust.

New sig en route :D
