installed my stuff today. i am really not tat impressed. it seems like the coilovers didnt even move my car down. probably just going to wait for springs to settle. and then they pop which i know can be controlled. so what should i do for ythe popping? and will time let coilovers make my car lower?

coilovers are adjustable, you just move the bottom perch down that way it lowers the car.....for the pop go to evilspeed.com and get the coilover bearings 80$ i believe

here is a pic
 for an agressive drop make it so the gold perch sits ruffly 1" from the bottom of the shock or 1" from the bottom of the sleeve that it rotates on This post has been edited by playr158: Oct 10, 2004 - 4:02 PM |

I really notice the drop on my car. I should warn people. My fender is starting to tear because my set up is too stiff.

What do you mean by a tear in the fender? wouldn't you notice a tear in the rubber? I've had my Ground Controls for a year and a half set almost as low as they can go (my profile shows my stance) and I've never had a problem with it. The popping does need to go. Where to those bearings sit on the coilover?

I'm not rubbing at all. I'm still running stock rims with a lower profile tire. I've shot to **** all my bushing and my fender is starting to tear because of the stiffness. Try getting koni yellows and GC coilovers and set the konis as stiff as possible. |

I haven't noticed any tearing either. but I'm curious how do you drive around with the koni's on the stiffest setting every day? the softest setting is jarring enough imo |

you can't seriously think that. it happens. I've even see fenders tear because they have too much bass pumping out of their system. |

I have it set to stiff cause I'm at full drop with the GC's and I got a veilside bodykit. Being that low, I need to stay stiff. |
