Have fitted a set of these to my car today. Now am I expecting too much from the kit that when the adjusting collar is wound right to the bottom that it hasn't lowered that much?

To my understanding coilover allow a greater lower capability which mine don't seem to have as when i have put the collar in the middle the car looks like a 4x4 now.

Could it be that I have put the alloy top hat in the wrong way round?

 

no idea on the escort, however on my xr2turbo i have to nearly have the coilover platform set to the top, anylower and they scrub the tyres on the arches.

 

which leads me to think i have min correctly fitted some how. gonna take them off tomorrow and fiddle about with them more i think

 

you can see where mine are adjusted to:



and sits like this:

 

check they are the right ones for your car!!

 

have sorted the problem now it was sitting on 12" springs as opposed to the 8" its supposed to be on. Have to say look alot better now. will post pics soon
