A new addition to the RB (Coilovers)

[Y7 ADW]

Well after a long think about whether I should leave it standard or whether I should get it lowered, I decided to go for the KTR coilover kit. After seeing my 182 next to other 182s at FCS last weekend it needed to be lowered.

They arrived Thursday morning (great service by K-Tec yet again) and had them fitted this morning, and I absolutely love them, it has completely transformed the look of the car. Anyway here are a few pics before and after.

Cheers

Ash

very nice keep the wheels the way they are the whole car looks mint

 

[walkie86]

Looks way better. Wheels would look black but it's also kinda cool with silver 182s... Something different

 

[Cal182]

I can't wait to get mine!! When did you order them pal? You get top mounts to?

 

[Jordi17]

[Charlie.]

Gotta go lower surely?

Not much of a visible difference imo

I ordered them on Wednesday morning mate, got delivered Thursday morning.

The guys at Rapid Fit in Royston fitted them mate.

Looks good, 10mm lower at the front and you'll be reet.

^^^What he said I didn't want to get it slammed to the deck, I just wanted to get rid of that standard look.

Nice one Ash, your RB is coming along nicely!

As said, I knew it would look loads better, no longer a 4x4 lol and the handling will be loads better than the standard setup

Are you the one that was asking the other day what the K-Tec coilovers were like?

Looks good mate, play with the height - you'll love them even more for that!

 

[Y7 ADW]

Thanks for all your kind comments guys, its finally where I want it on appearance I reckon, I might have a play around with the height abit more but at the moment im happy with it, nothing rubs and nothing scraps going over speed bumps.

did you have the top mounts as well

No mate, I didn't get the top mounts.

Looks great mate! Get it dropped 30mm more so its slammed to the floor tho haha

Haha. As nice as yours looks mate, it wouldn't be convenient around where I live there are a few big speed bumps which I would probably get beached on lol
