as the topic says the top disk of the coilover is bottoming out on the strut without lowering the car more then 1 inch and it is just riding on the frame this way. Solutions?

i had the same problem....i had the r1 coil overs. It happen at the rear on mine, i couldn't even lower the rear more than 1/2 inch and the ride was super bouncy .... all i did was remove the top peice where the spring sits. i let the spring sit directly onto the stock assembly so the shock can fully travel up and down. but these coil overs still sucked a$$, i went with the nuespeed sport springs after words and my car has a perfect drop and has a way smoother ride. hope this helps

Thanks thats exactly the kind of feed back I was looking for I bought r1 coilovers also and the su(k @ss so I am gonna return them and get aero speeds I think. Do not recomend anyone buy these. I even bought the dual springs that my suplier recomended to me.

In the directions for my HP coilovers it says to not re-install the bump stops or dust caps!!

ya bumpstops wouldn't make a diff what I think it is, is that I need to lose the top metal plate and just put the stock on back on since it has a hole that lets it move around the shock instead of hitting the top of it
