Hi
wondered if anyone can help me ive brought some coilovers for my st170 which stated they have 100mm drop but after having them fitted the rear is wound all the way down and I still have about 20mm arch gap. Is this normal??

normally I would not advise anybody to fit coilovers on a road car, as for yours there must be something not right as you should be able to sit that on its arse big time as when I had mine on eibach springs and std shocks you could hardly get your little finger between tyre and arch

Thank you for your reply and do you know what could possibly be wrong as im not really sure what to look for?? Thanks in advance.

wrong profile really for st170 as they run 45 profile on 17s but saying that the coilovers should still drop that way down lower, I take it they are not gaz etc as I have seen gaz coilovers used on these which slam it

Do you know were the adjuster cups should go top or bottom as people say different things and mine are on the top. Dont know if this would make a difference.

And the coilovers are FK ones suppose to drop 100mm.
