Lexdiamonds Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I just wanted to know how coilovers work when your car is lowered. You can adjust the height at anytime without taking of the rims. Is it as simple as pulling over on the highway and raising your car up in a few minutes. I don't mean to sound stupid but i really don't have to much knowledge about them and would like someone who has them or knows about them to explain. thanks in advance.

SKperformance Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Basically it depends on who makes the suspension. What kind of ride you want how much you want to spend With my JIC i need to take off my rims, i probably could adjust the collar up and down with the rims but it would be much harder to get the wrenches around the collars to loosen the locking perch and adjust the seat one up or down. Not something you want to do at the side of the road since anyway you put it you have to jack up the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 It is pretty hard to adjust the height of coilovers with the wheel still on. Although coilovers give you the ability to adjust the height, it is not as easy as "pulling over on the highway and raising your car up in a few minutes." ;) If you need "instant" adjustability, you will need to look into air suspension.

shoaf213 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I thought I saw an adjustment for coilovers for GS's somewhere where the relay is ran to the cabin, I KNOW I saw it actually, it was around $300 I think I'll see if I can find it again.....

SKperformance Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 That is a tein edfc which adjust the dampning of the shocks when you buy adjustable shock coilovers. It makes the suspension softer or firmer not lower or higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
