Need Help with coilovers plz

[beeza]

I am unsure as to what 'tops' I can/should put on these..

I heard of a 'Top hats'..

I know I can take the existing upper pillow ball mounts off and use them but is there something better like above..? :confused:

This is the tops of the coils I am using - BC Racing BR series coilovers.

Thank U!

[chargeR]

I am confused. So you have those BC BR coilovers pictured and you don't want to use the top mounts they have?

[Tai]

Those are top hats on the coilovers you are holding.

You take out your old shocks and springs and wack these in.

thats it.

Pillow ball top mounts are for Macpherson strut setups off memory.

you dont have that option for your car as its double wishbone.

[beeza]

Oh sweet ,so I don't need to remove the existing pillow ball mounts,just whck the coils in,as is? (just double check)

Thanks so much!

[beeza]

So just whack them in,yeah?

[Tai]

Yes Batman

[beeza]

Hahahah,Awesome,cheers Tai!!

:)

lol i told you that in the first PM you sent me but it confused you.

You've got a complete shock replacement, they just may be abit harsh as the top bit loks solid metal, not sure what's underneath, also that's a BC coilover not a buddyclub.

[beeza]

Thanks mate,I was confused hehe

The spring is straight under there:

These taiwanese instructions are pretty funky...but to adjust the height,do I just undo the bottom one (red arrow) and grab the cylinder (blue arrow) and turn it?

That is correct Batman.

You can adjsut the height while its on the car.

[sakitumi]

just wondering if there be any problems if i was to adjust the springs?

[beeza]

^^ I was just gonna leave them...bit worried to change/mess them up...they are all set the same..

Thanks Tai,the instructions had me beat! Some funky Engrish alright hehehe

You are supposed to pre tension the springs slightly.

so basically have the perches agaisnt the springs with sligth tension so it doesnt move and isnt too tight.

[beeza]

Gotcha!!

U are a legend Tai!!

If U stiffen it up more,it will be bouncy.

do it 2 tight and itll over wrk the spring and the damper wont be taking most of the load and doin its job.

also grats on the BC pick up Brett, i just picked up a set of ERs for my EK, cant wait to put em in just waiting for the rears and ill put em on, then its off to get a base time at winton.

[beeza]

Man,that sound like fun!

The coils are sooo good,big change!

Have U got any track video's?
