After going in Skudmissile Johns car when it was lowered and then on normal suspension with a RARB fitted I'd say lowering pretty much adds nothing but an aesthetic improvement.

Apart from the reduced nose driving when braking that is.....

Having said that he never had it lowered and with the RARB at the same time to my knowledge so that would be interesting......

But, I agree, the standard ride height is a little much. Too much air in the arches makes it look like a 4x4.

Wont be long coilovers

Wont be long coilovers

LOL. Good evening. :P

That'll be a right machine when you've finished with it. Students....you're all nutters.

Lets face it the original ride height on the Fab is :eek:, once mine is out of warranty it's getting slammed. Can't decide between Weitec or KW coilovers - or maybe air-ride

air,pah bags are for:gay:

Will look good once the fronts are a bit lower Stuart, any more pics with the coloured centers?

Shaun

That shows the pollished dish

And you can sorta see the colour there.

Ive got a alloy sump guard on mine which is frequently used, have you wound your coilovers all the way down?

That is low.

Davy

Looking good Stuart, would say the fronts down so the tread is just in the archs.

Yeah got used to the noise of the guard hitting the floor now. Wound all the way down but I have 16's with a 40 profile so sits a bit lower. Just need to get on the phone to my uncle about the wider adaptors he is making, should sit just how I want them then.

Shaun

oh but its not that low lol ive got lower,

if it not rubbing ur not dubbing

I would probably have agreed with you a couple of years ago but having done some research on the some of the VW websites, and had a ride in a mk4 Golf with airbags I'm converted. Handling was very good, ride quality was excellent even when running quite low and when we pulled back on his drive he just flicked a switch and raised the ride height by 3" in about 2 seconds!

Shame it's so expensive though. :(

Err, not fiited yet because it's cold cold out there :(

Gary, if you want a warm location to do it, just drop me a PM

yeah coilovers are quality, if u can handle the bumps. It makes up for it in the corners, its like the car is on rails !!

here is mine , it canny go down much more.....

oh but its not that low lol ive got lower,

Holy hell that's low.....that key pic is scary.

312's look massive too....properly fills the alloy.

I think this is acutely to low :thumbdwn:

My key does not fit under the car.

And its only 3cm so the car is +- 2.5 cm of the ground

It probably will go up :thumbup:one these days

I take it you don't have speed bumps in belgium.

Now, That's really low! My Weitecs arrived today!! Can't wait to get Felix running low on them... i'm thinking -35mm.... that's on a standard fabia mind.

YAY!

-Duggie.

Just ordered my tuff tray, and coilovers, tuff tray is a reinforced sump wicked bit of kit! But has taken me forever to find a place that sells them, then just down the road TOTAL-VAG a new company/vw audi specialists are selling them! Mine is there tomorrow then just waiting for coilovers to turn up! ill get pictures for everyone when i get to see it finished!

Anyone here got FK coilovers? how low can i go? with the new sump im not going to be too worried about dropping it now!
