Have you tried fitting these? Any pic of the height of the car with them on? Looks like you have a tiny bit of adjustment left.....id have thought it would have been on its arse tho with them on adjusted the way they are, were they off an evo 4?

Spelling is all over the place sorry about that...
So the evo is parked now looking to lower it 13 cm on the front from the top of the tyre to wheel arch once it lowerd more its new tyres and off the get the camber and a linement don.. Not sure if I can lower them much more think it's set up for off-road rather than track... Do u think I need to change the springs?

I couldnt tell you mate. Iv never heard of coilovers for off roading but iv only ever bought them to lower a car and never done any rallying. Bit baffling to be honest, does it sit higher with the standard springs on or is it higher with the coilovers on?

A would say it's sitting higher only just... A cant see how I can lower unless I buy new springs... Abit pissed off they should be sitting really low ready for the ailment and camber to be set...
Going to try and compress the springs a bit before I buy new ones.. Unless it's something I am not seeing the only thing I can think off is the ride hide hight is set for rally

Get back on to the fella who sold you them and just ask how low his car was sitting...or if he did rally. You say you want to lower it 13cm that 130mm thats a bloody lot, your wheels will be under your arches which will be no good for track days anyway. It looks like the rears have a fair bit of adjustment left in them so they'd probably drop enough for what your after but can see how you will do the fronts. How are you planning on compressing the springs?

Hi andy
13 cm is the hight front the top of the tyre to the wheel arch only really looking to lower it by half that..
Think it's really smaller springs I need on...
Ur right I'll contact the person see how it goes
The other way I was going to try was spring clamps the adjust the coil over up the way...
All knew to this so not that sure
