Not the greatest of photos, 100mm all around on Bilsteins + Accustom springs ( Or whatever the guy who makes them on here trades under ), got them from Plug though. Want to go another 20mm on the front to make it "visually" more even. (because of the Nova square arches it looks lower on the back than the front, when it isn't).

I'll just point out that a Nova 'over lowered' will drive & behave like a dog.

Gaz coilovers all round.

[White Nova Man]

just novas fellas

[White Nova Man]

lee what are you using in the back of urs ?

[Lee H]

Gaz coilovers on the black one. Go any lower and the wheel rubs on the top of the inner arch though.

*on a poor setup.

Mines 100mm and handles brilliant on the backroads, on harsh roads it is slightly uncomfortable as the ride is hard, but everywhere else it's a nice smooth glued ride :)

airbags?

Sorry but no

Anything 60mm plus is a shocking ride been there and done it many times

100% agree with you guys, I'd also like to point out that the lower you make your nova the more you increase the compressive stress on the rear spring cups...

Dont know how much experience you lads have but I've welded up a decent handful of novas that have popped the spring cups through the floor!

Look after your novas boys!!

Theres no need for going any lower than a 40/60mm drop anyway...

The coolest thing about this car is definitely the steering wheel!!

Nothing to do with its ringerage haha

[White Nova Man]

Is there anyone out there using fk coilovers ?

[swedge]

i am on the fronts, mines are the ones with the blue springs and have a the helper spring,

not sure what the difference is between the ones with blue andf yellow springs

the colour perhaps?

[stupot89]

I had the blue fk ones on my nova van with the front Hellers removed and the rear ajuster cups removed as well I'll post pics when I get home

[White Nova Man]

Any pictures ???

[swedge]

the colour perhaps?

i think that was a bit obvious mr mowgli

most of the kits for sale are with yellow springs with no helper spring

mine are blue with the helper spring

[swedge]

http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee127/swedge87/2ad96a5a.jpg

not the best pic but thats with the helper spring fitted and about 30mm left to go on the threads, those are with 50 profile tyres which arent the best but with 45 you could go a bit lower

more pics on there http://www.pngclub.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=44

[mowgli]

the yellow fk is cheapo spec, entry level (whatever that means), the blue is meant to be either the higher quality highsport or super duper konig sport...

[swedge]

mines need a good paint but the sticker says FK racing on them

[White Nova Man]

Any more pictures lads ? ..
