Suspension: - Pictures of V40/S40 ride heights on coilovers/springs

gazzi123 · Mar 20th, 2015, 19:43

Hi All

I'm looking at purchasing Coilovers or springs for my 03 V40 , currently on arcadias.

Just like to see other peoples s40/v40 on aftermarket suspension + what set up you are using

I've looked into FK Coilovers but seem loads of bad reviews regarding spring rate / banging over bumps etc.

Springs don't seem quiet low enough for me , but would like to see what other fellow enthusiast are using.

Cheers

Found using toyo T1Sports tyres are absolutly awesome for wear/performance - bought on mytyres (they come with a 20k mile guarantee) only tyres I buy now (as I do 80miles a day) and cannot fault them

That's a tad too low. But not far off.

Unsure of FK Coilovers due to mixed reviews
