How can u tell if the coilovers go low ?

[jdm_kid]

just a question
how can u tell how low the coilovers can go just by looking at a pic or at them? i had no luck finding info on them on the internet so yah lol

not sure you can tell that just from a pic. what coilovers are you looking at? maybe if u post up what ur looking at then someone could help you out with some info.

the distance between the thread and the bottom of the coilover (where it connects to the LCA) is an indication of how low it goes..
the shorter that distance, the lower the coilover can go..

because the thread determines how far you can twist that purple thing down.. hence lowering the ride and travel of the shock

yeahh u can tell by how long the thread goes for...

well the springs are tiny as! if u go all the way to the bottom, the spring wont touch the top? and couldnt the spring fall out?

The mount section at the top also goes down when you have the car's weight on it. The only worry about the N1 is the lack of damper travel if it is set too low. The HKS seems to have lots of damper travel

yep, looks like you'll be bottoming out alot if you set them at the lowest setting..

the N1 is a fully adjustable coilovers, as in u can adjust the height by moving the whole suspension body up/down, wthout adjusting the spring perch. to do tat just losen the lower perch (yellow arrow), depending on how long is the suspension body (pink) and how much empthy space there is for adjustment (light blue), u can adjust the height without affecting suspension travel. tat shud b the right way to do it i suppose, as the springs are short, lowering the spring perch might not b ideal.

HKS only allows u to adjust the spring perch and not the entire body. wth N1, u cant really tell how low it can go, u really hav to look at it in person, or speak to somone tat owns it to estimate the max drop.

hope my silly diagram and explaination is understandable :)
