Changing the rear suspension

[richy rich]

d more haste less speed

[richy rich]

d by the looks of them you need to jack back up remove wheal

then use a spanner/ stillsons (not a good idea as it will damage them)
on the top nut and wind them up
this is only an educated guess

[SGHOM]

They can be adjusted in situ.
removed wheel, & bottom 17mm bolt. On the top chrome locking nut, there's an allen key. loosen that, & the whole shocker can be wound down.

I've done both sides..down to max/min ?? & it still looks too low ?

Piccys.. Batteries must be recharged by now

[richy rich]

do you not have a camera on your phone d

[SGHOM]

this is with the coilovers adjusted to max height !!
something..... probably the tyres are still catching !

[richy rich]

d is because you have a leggy and mo has a galant

Not trying say your STUPID or Owt... But are you sure they are adjusted the right way.. It don't look any higher, if anything the same or lower..

With coilovers isn't up down and down up..

[SGHOM]

d is because you have a leggy and mo has a galant

shouldn't be a prob ??

sod it............... I'm going to the pub !!

Glenn. they are adjusted to the max.................. almost. I daren't go any further or I'll run out of thread !!
I'm not convinced these coilovers are suited to the legnum ?

Where they from ? Or have i missed a thread ??

Is it the spring rate ? Are they to soft.. Can you use different springs.. Originals or summat else you got lying around ??

[richy rich]

glen they are from mo's white vr4 i think

[SGHOM]

i was led to believe they were from Mo's galant. so theoretically a straight swap for mine. now I'm not so sure ?

Derek - I've just had a thought, thinking back to when we did the suspension on Hordak....

I notice in another thread you said you've only done the rears... That might be the problem. You see, when we did my V6, we did the fronts first. and when we'd done them, it sat about an inch lower than it should have - What was happening was that the standard rears were 'pushing' up the back of the car and tilting the front further down.

As soon as we changed the rears, the nose of the car lifted again - which was good because we could then get the jack out!

[richy rich]

good point k

[SGHOM]

could be ??

but I dont think the front is as high as to allow the rear to level it up ??

does that make sense ??

[richy rich]

yes that does make sense

[BraindG]
