Ivan's coupe: seeing RED
[quote="Ivan141"]
Anyway..my car is lowered now. I'm not completely satisfied with the springs though. They are supposed to be progressive, but the 4 closely wound lower coils dont do anything at all..they bind when the weight of the car rests on them. What's the use in having 4 coils doing nothing?[quote] They're supposed to be bound like that - the rate of the close-together coils is very low. The spring manufacturer does this so that you get a lower initial height, but with a similar spring length to stock. If you go too short on spring length, the spring will not be under tension in the strut (front)/perches & body (rear). That is why you need a really short stroke shock in the rear if you are running a short straight-rate spring; to keep the spring in place. |

Skid marks ................. its my practice place :-) We where lucky on struts that my friend was able to undo caus they where really hard.
Rear end of a Hachi is really really easy. front stinks if its so hard to get loose. We did the yellow hachi which now belongs to a friend of mine and we still didn't do mine (need stainless steel brake lines :-) anyways my suspension is next have to get koni for the rear Cars: "99 Lexus IS200 "86 AE86 Kouki Panda Levin GT-Apex (restore project) "84 AE86 Zenki Blue Levin (project racer) Motorcycles: "02 Yamaha R1 "02 Honda Hornet S "08 BMW R1200GS |

Now if only they didnt rub the fender. I took out the fender linings tonight and I bent in the protruding parts of the lip (where the screws of the lining go).
That helped out a lot, but it still rubs slightly. Thus, time has come to start thinking about better solutions. Robokill, bring on the mystery springs !!!!(duh-duh-duuuuuuhhhnnnn). Proper rolling of the fenders is also an idea. I'll try to persuade someone to let me add a few notches to their baseball bat :wink: Having said that, I have to say they look dead sexy! Got Lip?
