aren't coil overs adjustable , are you on about shock absorbers by any chance ?

yhh that would be great, if you could

[Cian 'the pain' MPI]

Coilovers are the same height, rang gaz and they confirmed this a while ago, could be the brackets that are different though

[100ev8]

i thought it was the shock that was different ?

[Cian 'the pain' MPI]

nope sure that is the point of coilovers, you can get standard or shorted shockers but coilovers are all the same or so i believe!

[miniallsort]

yeah u can get lowered or standard spax coil overs

[Cian 'the pain' MPI]

But if they are lowered height does that mean that they are shortened? This would not mean that they could go any lower than a 'standard' height coilover it would only mean that when the spring is on full rebound its not bouncing loose in the coilover

[Ethel]

Lowered would mean shorter when closed up (bump). You're right in thinking that the ride height is largely down to the spring - and how much of the coil over damper sticks out above & below it.

Spax list std & lowered coilovers: g893, g894, g895, g896

Larkspeed claim the difference in ride height is an inch.

Wen i had mine at the lowest they nocked off the bracketry and the ball joints were seriously angled, if you want it low there is a price to pay, i wouldnt get coilovers purley to deck it i would stick with hi los etc but coilovers are easier to set up and simpler set up and handling is awsum imo
