Fixed height suspension kit recommendations. Racingline?

Sure, here’s a photo. I don’t believe it is 40mm but will try measure the arch heights tomorrow.

Definitely looks more than 20mm though!

Kit sounds exactly what I’m after but the drop just looks a little too low.

The arch heights are 63cm front and 64.5cm rear. Perhaps someone with stock suspension can measure theirs to confirm? Racingline claim 15-20mm drop

Thanks for measuring the arch heights,  I am considering swapping my coil overs for this set up due to the bad roads I have to drive.
 I have measured where I had set my coil overs 63 cm front and 64cm rear so would be no noticeable difference in height . How long have you had these fitted ? long enough to fully settle?

Just measured mine. 17" wheels.
657mm F
665mm R

Hope that helps someone.

That would seem about right then.

I’ll check mine (18’s) later.

@mk1mad - they’re pretty settled as they are two years old and just 6000 miles. Since a couple of people have pm’d me, the reason for sale is that I will be taking the plunge for Ohlins and I would like £340 collected for these.

Thanks for the info  :happy2:as they are collection where in the country are you ? just in case the others don't purchase?

Also what size wheels are you running ? not sure if that would effect the measurement.

Am in West London but can pack them up if people want to send a courier.

Only a couple mm difference in tyre height between 225/45*17 and 225/40*18

I messaged him to say I was interested and had anyone been in touch for them  As it's your original post I'm not going to jump in first. Out of interest would you be interested in my ST coil overs

Guys, I’ll give you both a heads up on this thread when they become available. The car, incidentally, is a manual as well as 5 door.

I’m just mucking about. I’m not bothered mate, do what you need to do, it’s all first come first served isn’t it?

I’d be interested in ST shocks and springs but probably not the coilovers, unless they ride really, really well.

But seriously treading on no toes if you’re after a set of racinglines too. As I’ve said I think they’ll be a little lower than I want to go, and it’s whoever comes up with the cash first end of the day.

How do you find the ST coilovers? Not really considering coilovers but happy to hear all options.

Cheers
