So I installed these coilovers today and was wondering what options I have to make the rear go just a little lower. The front is almost perfect (actually going to raise it a little). But the rear is maxed out and is higher than my D2 springs sat. I'd just like to fill the gap a little more. Maybe another 3/4".

What options do I have?



Front





Rear

 

Here is a better picture of the rear adjustment perches.. they're upside in this pic. but they go below the spring and the oem lower rubber perches are removed. i wonder if i took these out and put the oem rubber perch back in if it would lower it a little more?

 

you sure they go on the bottom and not the top?

maybe raise the fronts to put more weight on the rear?

 

It really seems like they are in the wrong spot to me too. Normally they replace the upper spring mount, and it looks like they should do that.


Please post a better pic with wheel removed.

 

I'll get a better pic. But the adjuster definitely goes on the bottom. It has a cutout that fits perfect over the lower mount area. Hard to explain but I'll let the pics explain it later when I get off work.

Thanks for the responses

 

How do the uppers mount, into the factory spring mount ?

 

Yes^ that is true. I could just put my spare cut upper spring mounts in too.

 

Make sure the collars are down all the way and install the cut spring mounts. Hopefully you will get the height you want, I kinda think you may have to slightly lift the rear slightly

 

Judging from the thread below, I would suggest removing the collar first and if that doesn't get you low enough then use the cut spring mount:

It looks like the rear springs taper in so I don't believe reusing the lower rubber will work without the H&R collar.

 

Collar can't be removed because the collar has a larger lip for the spring to sit on, the lip on the collar is larger than the base of the perch if that makes any sense... It would go through the spring if I removed the collar.

Yeah that's true. I'm going to try just installing my cut upper mounts and I'll see what happens. Pics to come.

 

I see what you're saying. My Eibach's do the same thing.

 

Sweet. Put the cut spring mounts in and its pretty much right where i want it. Can't believe that didn't cross my mind yesterday... Anyways here are some pictures. Also some pics to show you how the rear perch is.

 

Well I guess we were both wrong .... well kinda hahah

The perch has like a nipple...type thing?right? to sit in the spring bucket hollow center?

 

the little circle in the very middle? don't really know what its purpose is

 

I really like reading your threads and posts. Youre always very helpful and your threads are very thorough...

Z looks great BTW.

 

Appreciate it^

Old thread but hopefully burray is still around.

How much did you trim off the stock upper mounts? Your height looks perfect. I have the same coilovers and have the same issue you had. My collar is set to the lowest possible and I'd like it just a bit lower. Like you, I experimented with removing the collar altogether and learned the spring can't sit properly without the collar.

Stupid design by h&r putting the mount in the spring bucket. Makes adjusting them a process.
