Urgent Help With Coilovers

Post by stuart_hatch »

Ok, i have my AVO coilovers fittet, but when i take the car off the stands it drops a good 2-3 inchs, i belive im missing top mounts or possibly spacers.

Anyone got any ideas?

Even instructions would help!

does the post stick out of the topmounts like that when you drop it down. if so then the rubber brushes are missing. what you want is your old suspention struts and compress the springs and undo the bolt on the top and slide the rubber brush off the top of the post. then wind your coilies to the lowest they go then slot the brush on and put the bolt on remount them on the car then ajust to perfect height. then the post will only stick through about 10mm after the bolts are on the top mounts.
