Hi Eddie, what have you fitted?- Springs, or springs and shocks?

[cov_street_racer]

alrite mate it come with the car it has standared shox at rear with gmax springs n gmax shox n springs up front

[Jon_nova1]

it should only be like that if they're fitted wrong, the rear is stripped, or maybe if the front shocks have gone

[cov_street_racer]

humm
perhaps if i re fitted the rear? cos the front is right

[Jon_nova1]

have you got pictures from the side? 60MM lower the wheels should sit pretty much in the arch, on the front they should just clear it

here u go mate

[big gra]

find some beafy mates!! hahaha

[cov_street_racer]

lmao lol gd idea mate

[pow]

fitting shortened shocks on the back mite help

[Jon_nova1]

oh yer, its standard rear shocks lol to be honest it doesn't look too far out

[peester]

ive always found the rear never sits as well as the front does - even with matching, uprated shocks.. its just how they are..
Hence many people pay www.coilsprings.co.uk (http://www.coilsprings.co.uk) a visit and order 80mm rears, only.
Game on.

If there 60mm springs on the rear something is wrong there mate, the front doesnt look bad are you sure there 60mm and someone hasent rovved them and awaped them for there own motor?

[Jon_nova1]

with a crude bit of photoshopping......

if you look at the rear arch and wheel they're both the same

The arch should be just over the tyre with the 60mm springs mate

SUP4NOV4 (http://www.novaload.net/forum/member.php?u=16902) vbmenu_register("postmenu_650757", true); that sounds about right, mine sits somewhere in that region with my 60mm springs on, but as it stands you can't see the top of my alloy as it's lowered at the moment, running 17's :-)

[cov_street_racer]

nice 1 guys thanks :D:D

My car sits pretty much like that possibly a smidgen lower but im on -30mm springs all round.

Hmm interesting, would have thought it'd be a tad lower at the back with 60 but I have had no experience with 60 springs.

[bigbened]

looks fine to me

[Martin]

it looks abotu -40mm to me mate.. sure its not a corsa 60mm kit?

heres a few pics of my novas..

grey one is lowerd about 60mm on coilovers tho.. on 15s

red one is just on -60mm springs and standerd shocks..on 14s IIRc(lol)
