Coilover question

Subject: Coilover question Tue Jan 27, 2009 3:06 am

Whut up peeps! So I finally got some K sport coilovers a couple of days ago and had a few questions. To make adjustments to camber and dampening, does the car have to be jacked up? Also, which way do u adjust camber? Does the indicator go towards the engine or away from it for positive?

Thanks Bryan. So far so good. I think 1 of the fronts is messed up in regards to dampening. I just have to learn how to adjust the camber.

i think the car has to be jacked up for camber but i don't think it needs to be for dampening, and for the camber if you push the rod toward the center of the car that will give you negative camber and toward the out side of the car that will give you positive camber. but im not 100% sure i will look it up

yea wut christian said.. the dampening you could just leave the car on the ground and dampen it how you want to

hahaha^^
i used to have some of them omar, hope ya like them.

as far as dampening, like everyone said it dosent need to be jacked up. but if you want to adjust the camber MAKE SURE you jack the car up because when i adjusted my camber i didnt jack up the car and i f'd up my toe (alignment) and it would be a good idea to get an alignment stat if you havent already. congrats!

i got mine there too their alignment machine is level with the floor and it was around 60 but it was the best alignment i have ever gotten they fixed everything even the little tweak in my steering wheel

Thanks for the info guys. I'm getting my alignment tomorrow or saturday. The ride seems to get better the lower I go. The dampening isnt working on one of the front coilovers but it doesnt make that big of a differencce.

Car is dumped, just need to get the ride height that I'm okay with for daily driving. As for the rebuild, just did my taxes so once its in I might be spendin about 600 on those bad boys. I might also have new plans for the color of my rims, hehehe.
