I chose coilovers because the spring and shock rates are matched as a system.....
the height adjustability is for fine tuning the ride height and never gets changed. Can't get any more performance oriented than that.

hey .. well i was actually thinking that the wheel well would not be so much or not so noticable.
with 19s.. i just saw a guy with axis milanos with hr springs on a 2003 model i have 02. and it looked not soo bad.. i mean it wasnt slammed like a whole lot but, my car was def. another inch lower than his .so im asuming that it shouldnt be too far off.. from what i have looked into .. the 00 ,, and some 01 s have a built in pirch pad on the top of the spring (support thingy ..) can anyone verify this ..
on mine and im assumin alot others dont have a built in bump stop so say the spring could sit on. mine is flat and and they give a spacer thing (looks like foam or somthing with a nipple on it .as the bump stop) but in some of the earlier models the pirch has a built in nipple .bump stop thing .which if you put your spring in .it would sit nicely on it and it would also make it sit lower than it says ..
anyhow i know i probablly dont make sense but if you do know what i mean. let me know.
also BIGDROCH . on your lower pads.. i never took them out . but i was talking with my mechanic.. and he said that i could take that spacer out .. it looks to me like theres 3 spacers. one that has a nipple built in which is your bump stop. second which looks like a 5mm grey beige thingy .( that can go ) and the bottom one that has no nipple no nothing just a spacer , well he said thats about 10 mm maybe a lil more. and if theres nothing connected to it. and the top one with the nipple can sit alone then it can go too . also . which i have noticed on the r32 ..the top pad stock is a rubber pad with a nipple in it.. and i had a chance to look at one and its only about 5mm thick with a nipple . i was thinking of running the coilover spring alone wiht no adjuster, and getin one of those r32 upper pads.. to keep the spring in place. has anyone done this .. speciallly with a kw coilover ??? becuase then i would be at the ride height i want and be happy ??????
