advice needed in relation to philj coilovers...

Featured Replies

hello people.

hope some of you may be able to help me.

I'm thinking about purchasing some coilovers from philj for my 6n2 (the cheapest ones he does).

however, before i dive in and buy them, i need to know somethings.

basically i want to know whether or not I'm gonna get any rubbing going on if i have 4 people in the car (2 in the front, 2 in the rear). my wheels are 195/45/15 35j.

I'm not bothered if the car is not slammed.

ok, thank you.

Depends how much you wind them down.

iv been told that the highest setting (i.e. not wound down at all) they can be on is -30mm. so if i kept them at this setting, what are the chances of rubbing on the back with 4 people in the car? I'm pretty sure myself that there would be no rubbing on the front at this height.

Depends how fat your mates are...

I'd say no rubbing i was down 80mm on 15's with 195/45's on

with 2 people in back it rubbed on arch really bad but they were et 25 so et 35 should be fine

Simple really... Don't let people sit in the back of your car! :D:thumbsup:

ok, thanks for your really helpful input.

i ran mine down about 80mm at the front and about 70mm at the rear on a 15x8" rear wheel with a 195/45 and even with a full car i didn't have any scrubbing!
