Jarrod Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I've passed on basically what Cj told me when I had the same issue with rear hight seams to perform perfect thou tbh Quote
har-vey Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 get them sent back bud, i now when the meister r coilovers came out on the gen7 celica they sat similar to this and a gen2 set had to be designed. may be the same issue with these Quote
Idrees Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I've passed on basically what Cj told me when I had the same issue with rear hight seams to perform perfect thou tbh It can be dangerous. Maybe shorter springs would help you go lower (safely). Quote
Jarrod Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Okay ill keep that in mind cheers hopefully nothing bad Happens Quote
Asad Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 pre-load messes with compression etc of the damper stroke something along the lines of that for weight transfer when braking and accelerating im not too clued up on it but i do know that....it has no use on a street car and should be left alone (should actually come pre-set when you buy them) as idrees said i can be dangerous, get in touch with CJ im sure they will sort it Quote
Dan B Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 The cars my daily and I've sold my standard setup so I'm in the shit really, I could ask the machining shop we use at work if they'd shorten the threaded tubes but ill be out of pocket then. Quote
Jarrod Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I did same as you sold my old trd shocks and springs Quote
james@cjperformance Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 ive emailed dgr guys will get them to send out either shorter springs or complete units to resolve it Quote
Dan B Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 ive emailed dgr guys will get them to send out either shorter springs or complete units to resolve it Nice one James, I'm having it all aligned after work so can I keep the front ones and just send the rears back if I have to so I don't have to get it all aligned again? Quote
Jarrod Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Think it would change again mate the lower you go on the back you need a adjustable panhard to pull the wheel back in I'm waiting to have this done glad I didn't if going to b getting shorter spring or shock Quote
Jarrod Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Yh I got a cusco adjustable panhard there is a thread on panhards in suspension section everyone recommends them 100 pound new I think they are I got mine second hand think was 75 posted Quote
james@cjperformance Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 should have it sorted in a couple of days buddy Quote
Dan B Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 Nice one thanks for sorting it out so fast I know the mistake wasn't down to you mate Quote
Amjad Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 You shouldn't need alignment doing again. It's easy to adjust panhard rod yourself, doesn't have to be exact like the front. I mean most of the forum probably drives lowered cars without an adj panhard rod at all! Quote
Dan B Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Cool cool Edited February 28, 2013 by Dan B Quote
Lawless Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Is this gonna be the same for people just buying these or will the issue be resolved in the ones on the group buy as its slightly put me off if I'm gonna have problems with them Quote
Jarrod Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Am I also being sent springs or shocks to rectify this James ? Quote
StuDoc 72 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Dont do your alignment until you have the suspension set up. Its a waste of time. They will use guages on the back and front wheels to set them up and if they are doing full set up will adjust the camber also. Bringing down the back end will then upset all of this. When doing alignment the 1st thing you do is check tyre pressures. If a few mm in your tyre wall makes a diff then it sitting like a monster truck at the back will send it way out. I 100% would wait untill its all done 1st. Quote
Dan B Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 Thanks for that, I need my tracking doing bad so ill just get that done Quote
james@cjperformance Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 sent you a text jarrod @ lawless yes dude will be sorted for the order on the group buy will update once ive spoken with them Quote
Dan B Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 Won't fitting shorter springs effectively be creating more slack aswell? Quote
Mikep82 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Ok james way to go, i want to get mine slammed to. Quote
