Hey look this setup....I installed my coil over this afternoon.....
I haven't cut the strut arm in front...I can assume that If I cut it I will be able to go lower.....
but look the back of the car.......I'm at the bottom....the lower that I can go.....DO I INSTALL THE COIL OVER THE WRONG WAY?? I can't see another way to pu those....look the picture....and tell me if it is ok....but It look to me that a coil over can be lower then this.....

HELP ME =)))))))))))))))

uh.. what kind of coilovers did you get? only thing i could think of is the bumpstops, did you trim it? and you dont cut the control arm on the front, you cut the lower perch....

after looking at the pic again... you didn't put the lower perch(of the coilovers, not the shock or the thing that turns) on upside down did you?

?? Scuse me....I' french...and I Search for the word pearch and I don't understand what you want to say by this word lower perch....
I put the things that turns un the bottom of the shock.....

Rider

And in the front...I don't understant what I have to cut.....


The 3 exagon screw are on the top of the ''coil over'' on the upper side of the coil over....
and on the back....I had to compress my springs with the machine to be able to put the bolt on the top...... VERY HARD to put on!
And the bumps on rear have been cut in 2.....!!!!!

ya obviously the thing that turns go on the bottom but are you sure thats not upside down.... like say you seperate that peice(the turning thing) apart from the metal pole(what the turning thing connects to in order to go up/down) are you sure the turning thing isn't upside down on that? and lower perch is what the spring sits on... you cut part of it, not all of it cause if you did, the coilover would have nothing to sit on...

Rider

OK I understand....
but.....If I put those metal rings upside down.......what can It do?? I take the metal center pole in the box....the metals rings where on the top side of the metal pole si I turn them down and That's all......

Rider

Hey I've looked at my installation....
I understand what you said....
And I also realised that I put the 3 exagon screw on the top upper side of the metal pole....and this side is not bored till the end...I'll put this on the other side ( on the lower part of the shock ) this side is bored till the end and I'll have 1'' more of adjustment.....!!!!!!
Tell me If I'm right!!!!
Thanks men!!

Rider

I'll do it this way tommorow....!!!

You should take it to a shop and get their opinion. I don't think you know what your doing. No offence.
