Coilover Question (quick one)

Post by Kieranyeh »

Recently fitted my coilovers to my 6n2. Wound them all the way down front and back and the rear seems to go down a hell of a lot further than the front.

The reverse rake is unreal, so i wound them up a good 9 threads to sit flat.. Have i done something wrong up front?

I have a feeling i may have fitted the front ones wrong, i took the whole lot off the top of the standard coilovers and put it on top the new ones.

Its a cheapy set of TA Technix coilies that are on.

Is there anything i should have disregarded from the old suspension that i havent?

Is there any adjuster or anything i can remove to slam it down some more?

These are what they look like in the box

They are sitting out of the arches, the centers dont locate to the bore, the tyres are racing slicks and they arent even nearly subtle about it

So yes 6 points if the officer feels like being nice, however i dont drive on those funnily enough aha..
