BANNED. for life, you moron.
Nice job Mike. Its about time.
How high can you set those things? Can you put them up to stock ride height if you wanted to?

i still need to do some more adjustments. this is how it sat as soon as i set it down. camber in the back needs to be fixed


it can go higher. i just kept it with the settings that it came with. has a little rake to it

nah. it just needs to be adjusted a lil bit. i saw that it was going to have a bit when i was installing them but it was not a big concern to me at the time

i need to adjust the dampening first. it is reeeeeeeaaaaal stiff. i dont want it to slide all over the place.

but yeah i cant wait to track it haha

I know it can go higher. My question is, how high can it go.
If I ever get coilovers, id like to raise my car a bit, not make it even lower then it is now.

15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
they are alot smaller than the original coilovers so it probably cant go to stock height.
700. it was a steal

1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situationエキサイティングカーレーシングチーム!march2010 COTM:6GCfeature2014:january2015-2016-2018 COTM
Then it might not be the way I'll go. Id actually like to raise the car a little and improve the ride quality. These things sound like they are very harsh. We should meet up so you can take me for a ride.

15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
Yea art, coilovers are not fun to drive daily at all frown.gif

i loved my bilstein / tein combo from back in the day but imo, i think you should get the pro-kit since they have the smallest drop...

Yeah I think your right. Prokit and some kyb's might be the best for me.

yeah. the dampening is on the stiffest right now. not really too comfortable, i get car sick haha. come by exton on friday.

1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situationエキサイティングカーレーシングチーム!march2010 COTM:6GCfeature2014:january2015-2016-2018 COTM
Will do. Just remind me come Friday.

15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
i will do my best to do that. as long as it isnt raining

1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situationエキサイティングカーレーシングチーム!march2010 COTM:6GCfeature2014:january2015-2016-2018 COTM
nice I have the same ones, you can take it to stock ride hight thats were i had it when i first installed mine, set with low spring tension and lowest dampening it was actually a very smooth ride till i dropped it and stiffened it up now it handles like a dream.
I have the same prob. with the camber on the rear, i tried to adjust it but its only bolts it doesn't have a slide on it so couldn't get the to be perfectly straight, i had to gap the lower bolt hole to get it in "spec." but im sure if you raise it that wont be a prob.

Tiger- watch out for the damp. pins when you close the hood, i have 2 dents cause someone dropped my hood shut. If you just set it then press down to lock it you wont get the dents.

thanks for the head up about that hatchy. i usually always set it down and press it. but i will have to watch out if someone else closes it

1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situationエキサイティングカーレーシングチーム!march2010 COTM:6GCfeature2014:january2015-2016-2018 COTM
adjusted the dampening today. it feels alot better. i still am not too happy with the amount of camber in the back. i dont want to ruin my good tires

Did you try to adjust it?
You can loosen those 2 19mm strut bolts and pull the top of the wheel to you (car jacked up). There is some free play in those bolts for adjustment. Or, you can go get camber bolts that allow greater adjustment.

Is the oil leak totally gone now?

15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
thats how i was going to do it. the bottom bolts have a little room for a move.

the car has been parked outside so its hard to tell because of the multiple spots on the driveway. i just parked it inside. i guess we will see tomorrow morning. there might be a small drop from the power steering

your dipstick should be able to tell you if your loosing oil like before.
