question
I got my R-1 coilovers, the rear i dropped the max it will go...... "3-4 inches my ***[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG]" well it is SUPER bouncy and i was wondering if i took out the "coilover adjuster" if it would help it on being less bouncy? and it will drop it like 1inch more.... thanks for all... don't burn me on getting r-1's I KNOW THEY SUCK

HAHA!!!
I had this SAME problem! You have to take out the aluminum hat in the rear, this will allow you to drop it like its supposed to..
If you did the install yourself you should know what im talking about. they should be the
co-150cv0102. heres what mine look likeclick here
i could drop it another 1 1/2 " if i wanted to.

If my camber was anymore positive, i would be rubbing like a ****! I literally have 2mm of space between my fender and tire. My car is dropped over 2 inches, are you saying my camber looks bad???

Rep Power: 412 Yeah bro your camber is a little off. It didn't say on your member's ride page that you had one so I assumed you didn't. I would try rolling the fenders or removing the wheel well plastic. I know someone else has done that. i think it was spider. You are gonna run through lots of tires that way.

i like my camber where it is, i spent 3 HOURS ajusting it. its a SPC camber kit. Cheapest one i could find.
im averaging about 50000 mile per tire. i have gone through 2 sets already, and i havent even had my car a year. Can you beleive i have 4 (yes 4) brand new tires sitting in my garage, but the problem is i punctured the sidewall on all of them thanks to the Las Vegas for having the WORST roads anywhere!
Do you know how dissapointing it is to stare at 4 brand new tires and i cant even use them!!!!
