I like the new front but the old tail looks way better. Is it just me?

It has the angel light and the daylight LED, pretty pricy tho $650 but I'm sure it will look absolutely awesome!!!! Anyone up for a group buy and see what the best we can get?

ha ha Davo.....how low can yu go? Have you had any rub issues atall? expect any? cheers mate Cam ;0) Nice focus, welcome to the coilovers club. I have mine installed from osb park too, running at 18 front and 16 rear for everyday driving. Shame that I have rubbing on all 4 corners and worse, I've started hearing some knocking and squeaking noise..they really annoy me... I will have my tyres replaced and have booked in for alignment/inspection next week, hopefully they can sort everything out this time.

Wheel Brand: Osaka RS5 (Hyper Black with Mirror Lip) Wheel Size: 19" Wheel Width: 8.5" Wheel Offset: +38 Tyre Size: Kumho KU31 - 245/35/19 Tyre Pressures: 38psi allround Suspension Type: Pedders Extreme XA Coilovers, Ultra Racing strut brace & rear sway bar (19mm), rear camber kits. (Height - from bottom of rim to guard: 605mm allaround) Feedback: Scrub on hard corners/big bums, other than that, awesome!!

Just turn the music up / rev it harder

Not yet but soon be, just have to book another time in for that plus the rear camber kit. Also interestingly, after the alignment the whole suspension feel a bit softer, checked the damper setting but they are all the same as before...erm...

Some updates...went back from Pedders for another alignment....turns out...shocking!! Before After Front Camber -0.40' (L) -0.45' (L) -0.42' ® -0.46' ® Toe -17.01mm (L) +1.1mm (L) -17.40mm ® +1.0mm ® Castor +3.35' (L) +2.57' (L) +3.38' ® +3.01' ® KPI +13.22' (L) +13.25'(L) +10.21' ® +13.00'® Setback -4.1mm +0.9mm Rear Camber -2.54' (L) -3.08' (L) -3.08' ® -3.08' ® Toe -13.5mm (L) +2.8mm (L) -13.2mm ® +2.8mm ® Well...at least they didn't charge anything and the drive feels a lot better now, except for the rear camber which I will return to pur the kit on...

ill post mine later tonight when i get home... are u running any upgraded swaybars/strut bars? yep, Ultra racing rear sway car bar (19mm) and front strut brace.

Also out of curiosity... what alignment spec you guys are running with the coilover? I didn't ask for a printout (I really should have...) and I just don't feel right with the steering at all. To compare the before and after, basically the steering felt - a loooooot lighter - often wandering - like it has a bit of delay (play?) so makes it really hard to go through corner (its like you are oversteer everytime) and even on straight line you have to do quite a lot of corrections. I'm suspecting either there are too much toe out/ negative caster?? So I hope if someone can post up their spec for references... Thanks

Should be around the $2000 mark fitted with an alignment. Ok sweeet :) I spoke to pedders and they said $2350 fitted with allignment but they are specifically designed with camber control he said, have to buy different strut tops. But i also got quoted $2100 for K-Sport fully adjustable coilovers (damper/height/camber) fitted from a mate. Which one would you guys recommend ? And Sorry for hijacking someones post :P Mine cost $2060 fitted with alignment and the extension cables (for rear damper adjustment).

for sure mate trying to get more aurions together here in perth! have a few so far, and now the weather is getting better, photoshoots/meets will be happening pretty often! yay! yay! yayyay!!

Thanks for all the info..I guess I might have to raise it by 10mm the next time I go back Pedders when they have the camber pin. Hey Davo, maybe we should meet up

So finally I got them fitted this morning, looks really great with the lowered height but during the wheel alignment, both wheels in the rear (both sides) showing -30mm camber and he couldn't adjust it at all. The fronts are fine which set at 0mm after a bit of adjustment. Sad thing is they didn't have any camber kit in stock and have to order them in. Does anyone have this problem as well after lowering? Other than the camber, I also noticed some scrubbing in the front - when cornering, and in the back when driving over uneven road. I'm not sure if it is because my car is too low, I have attached two photos.. *EDIT* I'm running 245/35/19 Any idea/suggestion would be great so I can go back Pedders and ask them to check on the issues... Thanks

This is interesting, I was told differently (from Osborne Park Pedders) that it is fine as long as it is not too low. I also advised RAC that I installed the coilover, only question they asked was "how much did I lower the car?", I told them 20-30mm and they didn't ask anything else and then updated my policy....

Good to hear all the positive reviews, I just rang for a quote for my Aurion: $1600(coilover kits) + $320(Fitting) + $134(Alignment) = $2062 all up. How much did all yours cost? p.s. I'm from Perth.
