Am not sure if they are bud how can I sort this?

[akyakapotter]

Take some picks of it bud if they have the elongated hole you need to loosen both bots off and push the strut in or pull it out to ajust it

Here is a pic of one of them bud

[akyakapotter]

Bottom part bud where it attaches to the hub ect

I dont get how you can adjust it from

There as 2 bolts connect at the bottom it's for my brothers ep82 gt if that makes any diffrance

It's my first time fitting coilovers so bare with me lol

[morgey]

Leave the two bolts at the bottom of the shock loose, lift the bottom of the disc up, this will take up the slack and eradicate the adverse camber, whilst still supported/lifted tighten the two bolts.

Repeat on the other side and check again.

If all seems good, get the tracking alignment setup to assure correct alignment

Cheers morgy I'll try that

You can also get camber bolts to allow more adjustment, bare in mind tracking will be majorly out so get the car set up once ready

Mine are the same on my dgrs! Annoying but my dad said defo tracking and gonna get the camber setup too both so there perfect I think I want -1 camber and no toe in or out.

[rmsnoel]

Its your tracking. The more u lower the car the more your front wheels will point inwards

[Amjad]

You can get a bit more camber than that and the steering will feel nicer

How much should you screw the thread into the body of the shock? And how much doyou need to tighten the locking rings so the spring iisn't lose, just enough to take up the slack or what ?

[akyakapotter]

^^^ yeah mate just enough to hold the spring so it's not loose depends how stiff you want the ride in regards to screwing it on more you screw it In harder the suspension we become

[EP-Azz]

So the more I tighten the rings the more tension the spring will be under so will result in the ride being harder? And can you screw the shock into the body of the tube so it comes out the bottom or is that too far because I want it lower, apparently ypu shouldn't losen the rings for the spring to make it lose and then lower the car ontop of the lose srping?

[akyakapotter]

You got it right mate don't alter the spring rate do it by winding the bottom mount up making the car lower

Ye but what I'm saying is how low can I go , at the minute the tube is filled with the thread so its flush at the bottom but can I lower it more so there is thread sticking out the bottom of the shock ?

[akyakapotter]

Put a pic up bud

[EP-Azz]

Basically if I losen the lower ring that allows the shock to be screwed into the body of the unit more Nd I can turn it in so much that the thread comes out the bottom of the tube, in term it would sit lower but is it ok for the thread to be showing?

[akyakapotter]

Yeah the threads show on my d2s it's quite close to the cv boot on mine though so keep an eye on it

Edited July 15, 2013 by akyakapotter

[EP-Azz]

Is that ok to do , just worries bout thread becomin rusty etc

[akyakapotter]

Will be fine shouldn't go rusty it's got a rust proof coating on it if your that worried put some copper grease on it or something like that

[morgey]

Yeah mine stick out a few threads. As above some grease should help protect it.

[EP-Azz]

Yea cool thanks lads great help
