If you want to lay the frame, modify the link aka, saw it off, which would be dumb. OR, or go buy some coilovers thats around twice the amount...And to only lower it another half inch....if its that important.....
If you cant drive it hard, whats the point????? laying the frame....well, i never got the purpose of that....I guess i`m just more of a performance>style guy......well, still need some style hahah..






New update:
Topspeed customer service is terrible to say the best.....There was the whole toe arm/ spring bucket delete arm confusion....

When i bought them over the phone i asked: "I need the toe arm that, REPLACES the spring bucket and a camber arm...'' George responded, yes. that will be 180 for both camber and the toe arm that replaces the spring bucket"

Long story short, wasnt toe arm that replaces the spring bucket. It was the radius arm/traction arm or whatever... He said today if i wanted to return it, i had to pay for the shipping 10-20$ dollars and then the restocking fee, 10$. So I`d be roughly getting half my money back for a product that they said replaced, but didnt.....So a mistake on THEIR part, but yet the customer has to pay for it.....Therefore, I`ll be never dealing with them again.....Which i still never got an invoice or mailed receipt...Been coming on two weeks....
As for the coilovers. They ride very smooth so far, yet starting to hear some `jittering` which might just be fixed by tighting some things down.

Getting some sick pictures soon. Have a friend thats good with pics and has a badash camera...So stay tuned.

You guys really trust the advice of this vendor? He cannot sell you the right parts ( tough life of a sales guy) but you listen to him that it is ok to put the spring on the strut.

What is the length of the spring in the rear?

Since you are putting the spring on the rear you cannot get the full use of the threaded body. That body also looks shorter that some of the other brands out there, how much threaded body is inside the orange piece in the op pictures.

Im not quite sure what your asking. The rear can go about 1/4-1/2 inch lower and if i understand you correct, the part where you adjust the preload, or tighten the spring, Im not sure. half inch? Sorry. I`m not sure what threaded part you mean.

Threaded body of the rear strut.

I bet you could go lower if you put the spring in the bucket.

porbably. But well, where I`m at is perfect for me. Specially since I`m going to adjust my camber which will close that gap a bit and then if i need to go lower, i still have .25-.5 an inch left to lower in the rear.

yeah, i got the same traction arms... i'd recommend to anyone looking to getting these to just get the coils and source the bucket delete elsewhere. I don't think they know what they are talking about when they say they have the other suspension stuff... like their part numbers are wrong or something.

There are just way too many reasons why I won't buy these coils. Everything behind them has been a mess.

Meant to say review instead of install... If anyone can edit the Topic title, then do so.

I've read it. It's good that you're happy with the purchase. It's more than just the mess really. I never had the intention of buying them. It just isn't feasible to get a quality suspension setup for $560. If I wanted a show car to sit low I might slap them on, but not if I'm going to drive on them.

Hopefully you guys have good luck with them. More importantly, I hope you guys learn more about suspension and go with a quality setup next time.

I'm not trying to bash anyone for buying these and spark another debate. It's whatever works for each individual. I'm just saying that as I've been reading alot about suspension lately I see that there is so much wrong with these.
