ive slammed my car on FK highsport coilovers with 14inch Gsi rims, and am very pleased with them! the handling is amazing compared to gsi standard set up before

no scrubbing or scraping at all when turning or over bumps!!
i did have to cut the front metal arch lip and plastic inner and outer arch lips for some clearance!
ive got the rear as low as it can go, infact i did not even use the height adjuster for the rear just installed the springs in straight, its about 65mm the front however is down between 55-60mm it could go another 20mm but i tried it and couldnt even turn the wheels lol

i cant imagine how it will handle with a front and rear strut brace and rear anti roll bar!!!
i have noticed the steering has got a little heavy though???
but the brakes and ABS are not affected at all!

what you guys think??

front:


front side:


front side again:


rear side:


front left:


rear left:


front right:

Looks good. Mines about that low at the rear though with the adjuster on.

cheers guys
it does actually look lower in person!

any idea why the steering has become a bit heavy???
which of these would you recommend to make the handling even better??

1)front strut brace
2)rear strut brace
3)rear ant roll bar
