Okay, please dont flame me. this is just a question. Has anyone taken off one of the rear spring perches to go a little lower than all the way down?

Would there be a possibility that the spring could jump out? And, no i dont want to buy another set of coilovers to go lower. just want to know if anyone tried this? Please be constructive. thanks!

 

I have done that (another NorCal owner did this before me and persueded me to do it also). At least 30k miles without the bottom collar. Nice & low. I have at least 60k miles on my basics now. The shocks need to be re-valved so they'll be coming off soon.

That being said... I can't be responsible if something happens. ;)

 

yes craigster can do, from what my cousin did to the xa he did the same thing. of course he kept laughing cause he kept saying if you lift up the ist everything will just fall out.

 

I am new to coilovers and was wondering the same thing. For those who have done this, .... does it damage the threads if you take off the collar?

 

I have a coilover setup in my car... and have no hardware whatsoever... just a spring and a tender-spring setup... make sure with both wheels of fthe ground that you can't easily remove the springs with one hand...

a good tender-spring is VITAL here.

 

did Matt from eurosport tell you i went down there to snoop around your setup? lol he was the one that told me Aaron did it for shows.

 

i am running Tein Basic coilovers with the rear spring adjusters + lockers + seats out. i am on the spring only.

 

I took off the locking perch. I really dont want to take out the spring seat. It did drop my back another 1/2". looks way better now.

 

that persocon's an animal. ***** of steel this one. he's running spring only and heavy stretchin 35s on eurolines.

 

yea i don't have problems with the springs popping out, because i've got some big air over a bump with the spring only, and it didn't pop out. It was so big that on the compression stroke, my fender chewed out a strip of tire about 10 inches long.
