Default Coilovers now fitted to Wife's SportKa (Fresh Pictures)

Got the new AP coilovers fitted to the Wife's Sport Ka
Also de-catted the standard manifold, which was fun!!! Has a nice burble tone to it now

Looks good, but also looks like its a bit too low for handling? What are the angles of the front arms like? Are they still pointing downwards in terms of the outside balljoints being lower than the inner bushes?

Who cares? It's a cool little car and I bet his wife couldn't give a monkeys if her balljoints are lower than her bushes.

they are just pointing upwards at that ride height chip, but i've only just fitted the coilovers so they need to settle abit first then i'm gonna wind it up 10mm as it catches on the arch liner on full lock.

TBH the handling doesn't seem to have been affected on the open road it doesn't roll as much anymore, but i'm sure on a back road pushing it on abit it will be worse. But as its not normally me driving it and Emma doesn't drive like i do it will be fine lol!

For Emma its looks over functionality, for me it funtionality over looks

I have the same setup on the PumaKa but set higher and it handles like a dream when blasting down the back roads

Heres a pics of the PumaKA not even washed it since i converted it over nor do i intend on doing so

Bet the lads on the KA forum properly knock one out over the thought of your very attractive mrs in that KA, you're probably the envy of the site cause you get to smash her pasty in whenever you want
