hi guys

on saturday i have fitted jom coilover kit off of ebay . easy enough to fit and adjusted the fronts to the same thread length , then put the wheels on and moved to a level and messured from the centre of hub to arches both reading the same but i can fit my finger inbetween the tyre and arch and cant on the other side (why is that) have i done something wrong/ also when traveling the shocks are screeching when moving is this just due to not settled in yet or because they are stiffer . thanks for any advice

yes all tyres are the same , just dont understand how the messurement from hub to arch is the same n yet theres more room in 1 arch than there is the other , would running them about for a while make them settle more ,thanks

Jom are known for screeching suspension

Fitted Jom to my Vw Bora and they did it all the time at low speed in town traffic

Hi sorry no it was old school shocks + springs unfortunatly


Id think you should get a meassuring tape and measure from the centre of the hub to your ajuster's to make it the same all round
