Ok, so im installing tein coilovers on a z. the fronts are good. FOR SOME REASON, the rear ones are sittin way too low. I have the spring coils all the way maxed out as high as they can go and now the tires are touchin the quarter panels. I looked at the shock when the car was down and the shock is pushed all the way in. That cant be right. Im so lost as to what to do. SOmeone help. thanx.

 

here are some pics to show you what i mean

 

are they used coils?

 

no brand new

 

Well i just called Tein and they told me to send them pics. Lets see what they say.

 

Any word from tien?

 

No, i fixed the issue. You should seen the smile on the guys face.

 

Uh how bout sharing it with us.. Howd u fix it??????

 

OOOH, so nobody wanted to help but now everyone whats the answer huh? lol jk

umm. honestly, the problem was so stupid, its not even worth mentioning because nobody will fall into the same problem i was in.

 

what if they do, just say so, im really curious at this point

 

ok its kinda hard to explain.

I had one wheel off and one wheel on. both sides had same heigh adjustment and exact same specs. i put some wooden board under the one wheel that was on so i can lower the car and see how the wheel gap is. The picture you see above is the result. When i lowered the car with one wheel on the boards and the other rotor on the jack. the car was level so it wasnt lopsided at all.

So being confused and everything, i was like fawk it, im gonna put the other wheel and just install the old suspension tomorow. After wheel goes on, i lowerd the car on the ground and the car sat perfect at stock height. Honestly, im still lost to why the heck it changed. So lets say the car fixed itself by accident. LOL. oh well, i was happy, he was happy, the car was happy.

so ya, see why it wasnt worth mentioning. REAALLY STUPID

 

LOL nice
