[Chadboy]

Hi guys
Ive fitted brand new hks coilovers but the ride height is still to high on the rear, any other ways to bring it a bit lower????

D Faulkner Springs – Order Suspension Springs Online

I have used these folk for trials bikes and for a set of bespoke shorter springs for my kit car. Whatever you want they'll do and reasonably cheap too.

As said above Faulkner can make springs to your spec. A couple of my friends have had Faulkner springs on their track cars in the past and rated them.

Adjust them lower?

 

[Efini_Dave]

As Joe said.... You've adjusted them all the way down? If you have I'd expect all coilovers would sit an FD to the point it would scrape on a leaf.

Cutting the spring or fitting shorter springs will just make the coilover bottom out surely????

 

[jack.am]

Which coilovers did you buy?

I've had hks coilovers. They were utter crap

Are these the hks ones that have seperate preload to ride height adjustment?

Or when you lower it does the spring go loose

 

[Chadboy]

That’s the ride height on the rear, I am running 19’s & think they a 35 profile .... want the alloy hidden away a little more!!!!
The ride height you see if the lowest it will go, loosened the springs off all the way & just took up the tension

Hi nas80
It has 2x springs on each coilover

front sits how I want it but the rear doesnt

 

[Nas80]

Hi nas80
It has 2x springs on each coilover

Throw the helper spring away

 

[Chadboy]

sorry mate my mistake just checked only one spring .... the coilovers on my Audi are double !!

I use Tien Street flex (2018 model) they have way more thread left.. Same with hsd / BC / Meister's

Sell hks and buy other stuff

Those coilovers look height adjustable. You adjust the length of shock itself and not the spring preload.
