holy crackin camber....i am 99.9 percent you didnt set it up correctly. it will have to be removed measure to oem spec and readjusted. hopefully i am wrong, and u need to get the most out of it. lowering doesnt make full use of its damper and a spring rate ccmbo to perform to its optimum. it rides like a mix match shock and spring. lowered makes it feel alittle more sticky than stock but get ir don properly before you hurt something.
you can challenge it yourself or if you need want i can recommend a suspension tuning specialist. if you think its right, mad props for ya.
glad you got some coilovers, regardless, they rock, dont they?
good luck.

People ask me all the time ***8220;Dog why don***8217;t you lower your car all the way it sits so high." and I tell them the same thing.
Casey
05-17-2007, 07:31 PM
coooool
i really dont care
and i know my camber is off
the front isnt but the rear is.
and i like my car lowered
yabber about it all you want its staying down.
v-empire
05-17-2007, 07:45 PM
ooooo....defensive today.
it can stay down but you have to adjust the stroke: spring tension height. it will still be the same height, but will function like it was made for.
Casey
05-17-2007, 07:52 PM
i know ive gotta preload the springs
i already did the rears and i read up on it
soo im gonna preload the fronts about a quarter inch of spring pressure... and see how it rides then
cuz it felt a little bouncy like you said an off spring / strut combo.
so i turned the strut stiffness up and it still feels a little bouncy so i think the springs arent preloaded enough in the front. the rears feel perfect.
i guess its safe to asume that the springs should be equal preload... by measuring the amount of teeth on the screw adn making them equal on both sides... as i dont have any way to measure the springpressure.

No pics till its ready. :bump:
JDM enkeis are super gangster. I have no idea where to get them + they are prolly around 700 per wheel. Also they have a weak lip and no concave.
Now im paranoid to have any pics of my car online anyway.
Casey
05-30-2007, 05:17 AM
dude we're all paranoid...
hellfire
05-30-2007, 05:31 AM
Fuck them. I'll put up, and keep whatever pictures of my cars up.
Honestly, how would pictures online help a theif? If they see your car local, and they are looking for 240's, they are going to try and steal it no matter if they know the mod list or not.
You have to realize the car is free to them, its not like they are scoping out a good deal.
And hopefully they will also know, that I will not be leaving our car out of sight. So if they can see it. We can see them. :)
