Charlie28 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 So, all 4 of my coilovers have seized and I can't raise my hide height to fit a 195/50/15 tyre. Can't seem to find any half decent road/track tyre in 195/45/15 expect Avon CR500's which are £150 a corner!! Any suggestions?

richardc9052 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Unsieze them. Buy new rings and cut the old ones off. The. Get a set of ns2r for 70 a corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie28 Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 I got the rings free, but the coilover won't wind out the bottom part to raise the height Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardc9052 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Gentle heat on the Mounting bracket and put the shock strut in a vice. Tap the bracket with a rubber mallet. There are also loads of penetrating fluids that are made to release siezed threading so have a look into those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
