i need help with installing the rears.
do you put the stock upper rubber on the top of the coilover crank??
does anyone have a pic with their rears installed?
i have searched for two days and cant find anything but reviews(and they only show pics of their car or no pics at all)
thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


this is the kit i have

 

anyone?!!!!!!!!!

 

good luck, I need some of those

edit: I mean I need some of those coilovers

 

Sure it goes on top? As my tein basic did. I have stance but true set up so I got rid of that.

 

yes the springmount sits on top of the metal collar on the rear

 

this is why you go true coilover.

 

I would never tell another owner that. Because I'd never tell someone else to do something that would never ever be installed on my own car. Give me the parts for free for that matter, and I still wouldn't install them. And we aren't touching on how much rear spring rate some truecoilover setups leverage to the rear (Stance not included).

Yes, you reuse the oem rear upper spring seat. You should also attempt to reuse the oem rubber pad at the bottom in the lower control arm (I wouldn't call it a lower spring seat, you could I guess).

 

I was making a joke.

 

why is my ride so stiff?i click the coilovers 7 times counter clockwise..
i was expecting a way better ride?any opinions on the set up?

 

Thin skinned today eh. You could have simply not quoted me and I could have edited my post, but you've got to make a big ole fuss. Believe it or not I'm not here to **** on your corn flakes.

What SPL is dong is pretty simple to figure out and they wouldn't be the first business to do it, selling stuff they themselves don't believe in to earn a living. Am I disappointed, maybe "chastising" them a bit, yeah cause I won't sell anything I don't believe in, takes your credibility with it. Which is why I have the text in that link saved in case is mysteriously disappears.

 

You didn't look at the spring rate specs before you bought?

Your running 672lbs/616lbs, that's what you get, spring stiffness doesn't operate in a vacuum. It's a cheap setup that not going to have the R&D or adjustors that you get when you buy quality.

You wouldn't be the first person that has pulled them and resold them because you aren't happy with them, sorry to say.

 

I didn't quote you to not let you edit, just because there was another post in between.

I need to start using emocons again, everyone takes me so seriously if I don't use them. lol. I never had a problem with you, you are honest in your opinion and experiences.

 

how many way adjustable are they? I hope you didn't think that the range of adjustment would be that amazing... it's still limited by the spring rate you chose. The way I set up my coilovers is: I turn them all the way soft (if you know which what that is), and then work my way up two clicks at a time until it's just too hard and go one click back. I honestly can't remember what I set mine at, but it was something like 11 f 9 r, and the car is sold now. But that rode well for me.

It also doesn't look like you are running a progressive spring set up, right? if so, then that is also another reason you won't get a ride anything close to stock... you probably doubled the spring rate from stock, and there is less stroke travel too IIRC.

Just keep in mind that it's a sports car not a luxury sedan At the same time, the ride shouldn't be terrible. But it's subjective unless you have experience to judge how bad the ride is.

 

lol thats my pic, and i got more ofthe rears installed
