FK lowered suspension 147 GTA

Have just fitted FK coilovers to my GTA and the results are very impressive. The price was very reasonable from Rimstyle at £565.00.
Quality is good from the German brand.

The dampers are fixed but the ride height is adjustable. I have dropped the front by 20mm and the rear by 40mm.

The damping is much firmer but not too hard and the car is more chuckable into the bends and feels less likely to run nose-wide. Decreasing the ride height mainly at the rear has lowered the centre of gravity - the standard suspension makes the back end stick up in the air which aggravates the pitching and rolling effect.

The lowered ride height causes the plastic undertray to catch on speeds humps, but an aluminium tray has been ordered from Autodelta which should do the trick.

Just need to get the tracking checked now.....
