Question about lowering

mischman · 12-06-2016, 09:06 PM

I installed coils and eventually bags on my last car but it was FWD and wasnt a bucket setup.

For the SPC camber arms, did anyone use the extra plastic bump stop spacers?

Also, for the rear of the suspension, i know the adjustment for height is on the spring and bucket part. Why is the strut threaded? How should i have it adjusted? Im going on the low side of the coilovers.

Thanks

The rear spring perch and the struts are adjusted both, you start with the spring perch first for the preload then adjust the height you desire with the struts.

BC has a YouTube video how to do this, I'm just lazy to find the link and post it here.

I did post the link over here somewhere.

Btw where in FL are you?

I actually watched that video after posting this thread. You install the spring and then jack up the control arm until you have preload and then adjust the strut height to bolt on.

I'm in Gainesville.

Your just 45mins away from me. I'm in lake city.

Yes the video pretty much shows you how to do it.
