AngryGrouse Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Hi, bought some bc racing coilovers the br series. Went to fit them this morning but when I got the old struts off noticed quite a big difference in the length, I know there will be a difference between them but it just looks excessive. Can someone who has used them before please let me know how far you can wind the bottom down for it to still have a safe amount of thread left.Car is a 97 ep91 n/a Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Will be fine bud will be lower if you want it high undo the bottem locking collar and wind them out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AngryGrouse Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) Will be fine bud will be lower if you want it high undo the bottem locking collar and wind them out Ok cheers bud, I just didn't want to start winding them down too far and the bottom isn't on enough thread and it breaks. Would be an expensive mistake :/ -- if I wind them out to a safe point on the thread how much lower are they normally? Edited June 28, 2014 by AngryGrouse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Mike EP82 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Don't change them till you've fitted them as standard shocks compress a lot when car weight is applied. Also your tracking will be a mile out!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Will be fine .makesure minimum of 2 cm of full thread on bottom of each shock. Good luck matey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
