lol at volcano...can you take pics of front coilover on car?

 

Maybe cause mine hasnt settled??? And my rear hasnt been done yet till yesterday which ill get some pics up today....That could be tricking the eye

All i know is I`ll be rolling my fenders today cause i cant even drive it on smooth street without it rubbing in the rear. Front seems pretty low guys. I feel like Its just cause it hasnt dropped.....

Let me take some pics....But as of so far, I`m satisfied with them and the drop. Just need to tweek the toe a bit cause i dont even want to drive it cause how bad the toe is.

 

settled? that's more of a spring only type of thing. this is a coil over. if coilovers settled that much, whats the point of adjusting to certain ride height?

ive had over 6 diff types of coils on my car, most to which wouldn't give you a low drop but all coilovers would let you slam the front where you are almost tucking rim.

most likely, you are adjusting the coils wrong.

 

ONly other thingi can think of is that i didnt max the pre load. I didnt tighten the spring to its max. You understand whatI`m trying to say??

But then again, thats maybe 1/4 inch at most.


Heres a couple quick shots of it all on there. Rear could be dropped another 1/4 inch or more. I need to roll before i`d go any lower...

 

Are you sure you're going to have to pull the fenders? I would roll them for sure and see where you sit at that point. I don't remember now... do you have adjustable camber arms?

 

Thats the thing, i for sure need to roll, i cant fit a pinky, But i have camber arms yes. I have a bit of camber probaly more then -2 so i want to bring it out a bit and maybe put some small spacers on....we`ll see on in time after i roll, adjust etc

 

how are you adjusting the coils? just by the perches?

the fenders dont need a pull at all. just a roll. that's not aggressive enough.

 

^ I`m lowering it by the lower piece where your suppose to adjust it by....ONly spot i knoe of where you can adjust height...
Anyways give me a lile and ill have some better pics...I rilled the rears a lil...I know the front dont need to be pulled or even the rears......I will have to when i adjust the camber so its not so negative...plus I might put spacers one...hint why i said Maybe pull fneders, we`ll see sfter i play with it more....

 

Well it is your car of course so we can only offer suggestions. It looks to me like you are sitting quite well. I think after you take out some of the negative camber it would look a bit more flush. Then just a roll to the fender and you would be fine. Just letting you know how it looks on my end.

 

^^ thanks. I already roller them and adjusted the toe a bit. Now i can at least safely drive it without it rubbing every 2 seconds. I washed it and of course, camera is dead and wont charge, so i had to take phone pics, I posted them in the varrestoen wheels thread. I`ll wait for my camera to post more in here.

 

Your car looks good man. That drop sets it off well! Since you finally drove it, how do you like the ride quality?

 

My quick and dirty review of these is that on the sedan you can go as low as you want without question. Only bad thing I have to say is the dampening is a joke. Full stiff and full soft is almost no different. Ride is great. Honesty feels like oem shocks and aftermarket springs.

 

pics?

 

Totally agree with you on this, I got mine in the mail yesterday and installed them today and yeah, dampening is a joke..

 

hey bro, we want wrenchin pics

I haven't been able to get out to install mine, still pulling the subframe for the rest of the suspension install... but i'll throw up some pics when i finally get her in!

 

^wheel and tire size also impact ride height

 

Agree with the JaE.

Although everyone said the true style in the rear would be stupid stiff, its not. I have both f/r set about 6 clicks to the right and they`re pretty good. I deff going to set like 3 clicks from the hardest setting cause i like mine stiff. Weather or not there will be much of a difference idk.... Ride quality imo is actually pretty good. After i slightly rolled my fenders. I hardly rub, only sometime pulling into something steep. They can be a lil bouncy sometimes but overall handles well. IMO, there a buy....if your looking for something that will be tracked often and want the best handling car there. No these aren`t for you...But they obviously handle better then stock. better then spring obviously, but aren`t as good as a 1k+ coilover....They are completely worth the 560, no doubt. Even at full retail of 699 or whatever, there worth it.....
No clunks or rattles `so far`. Once i get an alignment etc, I`ll drive it pretty hard and give more review on how it handles in corners at semi high speeds.

 

There will be a few benefits of getting your camber set right.

1. You shouldn't rub anymore.
2. You should have better turn-in and steering response.
3. Your tires will last longer. (this is assuming you are in a good range)

 

Actually a set of 04.5 stock spring and shocks will handle much better than these. Also a nice set of D-Specs with Ark or some other drop springs will also handle much better.
Looking at the spring rate combo, the stock 03 spring rate with working shocks will work better.

 

Any other thoughts on how these would compare to D-specs and OEM revised springs?
