‘16 Vivo coilovers + c notch

Post by Polow27 »

Howsit fellow VW enthusiasts,

I’m pretty sure these subjects have been covered a million times in this forum but I’d just like help to my specific scenario please.

Currently looking at dropping my vivo in the next month,

I’m looking at doing coilovers - Fk’s perhaps or maxtrac(for the price tag - advise needed) I’d just like to find out how low would I be able to go if I leave the helper springs in and the bump stops intact. Second to that would I have to do a c-notch for the clearance? Then lastly will I need shortened drop links?

Pictures, recommendations and advise all welcome. Thanks :wink:

Hey buddy yeah it has been covered so many times

Well leaving the helper spring would give you some sort of low but not the low you want(Trust me, one you go low your car wil never be low enough) id suggest you remove them upon fitment however make sure the ride height is where u left them after taking it out yes short drop links is needed.

c notch is only needed if you taking helpers out and intend on turning down to the last thread then yes you will need a notch to avoid damage to your shaft

other then that you should be good to go oh and yes make sure you cut some bump stop if u lowering.

Hey wolfburger,

Thank you for the update mate. So I’ll look at it that way and see about doing a c notch around JNB.

Safe driving man! Ciao.
