    Arrow Do you think I could get just the rear coilovers? Gsi sitting unlevel

    I have bought a set of 40mm lowering springs off a Vec gsi but now fitted on my gsi the front looks mints but the rear sits higher than the front slightly and it's driving me mad, could I get just the rear coilovers as don't want a full set, or where could I get a rear set of springs from what match the front.....I want the back to be about 10mm more so it looks level, cheers

    I bought all 4 springs and fitted them, don't know what to do really, I even thought about having the springs heated up and lowered the extra 1/2 inch :-/

    Has anyone got the rear coilovers left as I've heard a few story's about people removing them?

    Cheers

    Depending what engine you have they may have been the wrong "strength".

    You can remove the rubber seats that the rear springs sit in can't you (sure some one here did it with a silver pre-face SRi) - his sat much better at the back.

    Good idea I will just put a piece of hose pipe on the end of the springs just to make sure :-) cheers
