Hey, Does anyone know how to lower the rear coilovers? I've raised the spring perch all the way and raised the lower mount all the way up, and then dropped back down the spring perch to a 1 wedge gap between the lower mount and the spring perch. It's still a finger gap. Help please!

 

Finally installed them Ben?

 

There is a perch up top where the spring sits, as well as an additional collar at the bottom where the entire shock body goes into. This additional collar is threaded and allows you to lower the ENTIRE SHOCK BODY without messing with the spring and perch at the top.



Where it says 'threaded collar' is where you're making your height adjustments. Visualize this: you adjust the height by using the collar on the body of the shock. The spring perch has not been adjusted. The shock travel has not been adjusted. The shock travel is the same, so its no closer to the bump stop than it was in the first place.

 

The threaded collar is twisted all the way up and cannot go any higher. I then lowered the spring perch all the way down to just about a groove difference with the threaded collar.

 

lowering the perch just adjusts the tension of the spring. The only adjustment for ride height should have been then threaded collar at the base of the strut. I guess the only thing left to do if that didn't work is to contact B&G. Ride Height Adjustment should have been as simple as what I stated above.

 

hmmm...i see. Alright thanks dude. This whole time i thought i was doing something wrong. Guess it wasn't just me..

 

Ben, you're sexy.

 

Thanks!


(yeah I know you weren't talking to me)

 

...

 

Did you buy a brand new set or are they Jordan's?

 

they are a new set..

 

i've been reading and i'm deciding on b&g or h&r...what do u guys think i should get and why...thanks

 

which ever you can get for cheaper. both are of good quality and ride. like someone else said here, jordan from socal tc club is selling his set of coilovers. i know he got them last november and has to sell due to a new baby in the house.

 

o snap! I'll see him at the edrII show.
