Default New Suspension

Fitted my new Apex/BC coilovers on Saturday. Really impressed with them in terms of quality and features Currently on damper setting 8 of 32 which seems to be ok for the roads in my area.







Will have to get my geometry set up now and add a bit of neg camber on the passenger rear as it doesn't seem to have as much as the drivers, and is rubbing occasionally. Apart from that, Fantastic bit of kit

Rubbing issue now sorted with the aid of negative rear camber

Thanks for the comments guys. They were the group buy coilovers and i'm not sure how far i've lowered it from standard? Measured from the top of the rim to the wheel arch is 70mm all round, So it sits nice and level

Awesome what's the ride quality like now compared to before? Harder but not uncomfortable?

On the softest setting i think its about the same as the Sti dampers and whiteline flatout springs, Its on 8/32 at the moment so it does feel stiffer, but still comfortable as you say.
