Fuzis Hello, I bought used KW coilovers variant 2 on my astra g coupe, and now im wondering if i need shorter drop links, or i can use my stock drop links? My car is going to be lowered very much. Sorry for my bad english and thank you for answers
5M1THY I have metal adjustable drop links on mine and the kit I got came in 3 different lengths for about £45 so you can try 3 sizes till you have the right size but mines pretty low and I'm still using the standard length so I kind of Wasted my money in a way as I could of used standard ones for about £8 each. I've been told that standard ones are fine up to 60mm lower than that you need shorter ones but maybe someone else can confirm that?
Fuzis You all use KW coilovers?🙂 Because on FK coils(which i had last season) there was shorter drop links in the package 🙂
evocarlos dont think i will ever go to coilovers genuine gm shocks 🙂 9 years and counting there still good only recently fitted new arb links standard size but then any lower than 30mm round here is pointless plus i have to go over 8 speed bumps to get to work each day and i like the smoother ride now im getting older hehe🙂
5M1THY After seeing carls car I seriously thinking about going to standard shocks I don't like how solid my suspension it the roads just aren't good enough anymore

Fuzis Wheel dimensions? Im using Irmscher R18 8J ET35 with 215/35R18 tyres and back was rubbing everything with coilovers, until i folded arch groove(idk how to say it in english).
