EK Tein SS Height adjustment

[simonnowis]

well, playing around with the height on my tein superstreet coilovers today,

I turned the two plates which hold up the springs all the way down to the bottom on the fronts, theres a 2 finger gap on the front,
The rears are about half way with plently of height adjustment left and leaves a barely 1 finger gap.

so my question: is this normal on the tein ss, the rears can be dumped as there is plently more left, but the fronts seem like it cant, since lowest leaves a 2 finger gap.

edit: This is on an EK hatch
btw, have searched google, hondatech, ozhonda cant find anything to answer my question,

[simonnowis]

just realised, im using oem upper mounts which may make it higher?

Yeah thats normal for these coils, tein SS is a very street friendly coilover for both height adjustment and damper , Im running them and what Ive done is removed one of the adjustable plates at the front making the front another 10mm lower and the rear is a nice height also. Looks alot more even front to back.

EK hatch, with oem control arms up front also

so you cut the springs??? dont understanding this marko

[markoJEK1]

.. did not say anything about cutting, there are 2 washers at the bottom of the spring which you screw up or down to adjust height , take one out simply lowers it that much more

[MikeyG]

would it be bad if I removed both marko?

[markoJEK1]

you cant remove both as the spring sits on these, hence why I said they are height adjusters, you have none of these on then you will have no coilover, you will have a expensive shocky with damper and your spring will be on the ground.

if you dont know what im talking about you obviously didnt install / adjust your coilovers ever? Once you worked on it there is no way you can mistake what Im on about

maybe its best of getting a person who knows what they are doing before you start going off and trying it yourself:thumbsup:
