Got some brand new rear 6n coilovers and was wondering if any of you knew if they would go onto a mk2f before I take my shocks off, I know that I need a washer to mount the bottoms to the rear beam but wasn't sure if they'd be long enough as everything I've read has said they're super low. Even to the point where they've had arches sat on 13's with them wound all the way up! Also read that @KiZ sells spacers for them to overcome this issue?

Any help would be great,

Tom.

I believe when thier wound all the way up thier 70mm down

That should be alright i'm hoping as I've got 175/50/13 on 7j so if your right i should get away with it with some luck, any idea what size washers I need to get?

I think thier m8 size washers but not certain :/

Rear coilovers on now, well they've been on a while now nearly 2 months haha.

Next is to sort out the fronts!

Out of interest, what made you use 6n coilies?

I would assume thier cheap and readily available second hand.

Yep, picked the rear pair up brand new for £42!

That's well cheap 👍

Exactly why I ordered them!

Just need some for the front so I can weld up a set before summer comes, still not 100%

on how the steering arm angle is maintained once the welds have been ground off though?

You have to make a jig up or another way to get the steering arms perfect, also the welds need to be good, or your dead 😣

There is a guide here.

Exactly, might end up getting a friend to do the welding as i need quite a bit of practice before i'd trust myself welding them myself!

Might get a pair of struts to start on so I can get them stripped, painted and welded up.
