Same **** with my front left, how much did they quote you? PM me if you want.

 

 

^^ sexy

 

They said it was $75 dollars per shock and they will cover shipping charges back to me. Kind of disspaointed because i only had the shock for about a year and couple of months

 

See slater, i told you fool, 75!

 

ttt

 

That sounds like one of my rear shocks. It started making that noise about a month ago. I'm not slammed either. No noticeable bounce, just the loud clunk going over bumps.

 

Function and Form Type One for 92-95
They are FOR SALE

They have like 300 miles on them (im fcking serious). I installed em on some kids autotragic EG and a week later he gets an EG Si with Type 2s on it so I bought them off of him and installed them on my car. Ive used em for about 5 miles on my car because I started removing my turbo kit.

$500 shipped to any of the 48 states OBO

 

anyone know how much more preload i can add? i know these are prelaoded 5mm out the box. im trying to stiffen them up a bit so i dont bang the crap out of my shock tower.

 

what exactly did u? im still trying to dial mine in but im not having any luck. i added about another 5mm of preload but im still knocking the shock tower. you can PM if you want. thanks bro. any help is appreciated.

 

i used an air gun and compressed the springs with the desired preload. i tried to twist the collars with the springs under tension but that isnt smart.

but i still hear the shock towers hit

 

how much are your springs compressed? i preloaded mine another 5mm but that didnt help much. how much can we preload the f2?

 

i think it depends on the suspension models. im running eg f2 type one

 

got any pics of your suspension setup?

 

nope, its just regular good ole function and form type ones for eg. nothing special

 

for sure, im still baffled how u dont hit the shock tower. mine sits about an inch and a half from the shock tower.

 

mine lays on the shock tower, i dont have any clearance between the uca and towers.

 

so you actually hit the shock tower too?

 

ya

 

i have the same problem... i hate when the control arm is banging the **** out of the tower its very annoying. Does anyone know the preload to fix this i really dont want to cut into my tower for more clearance.

 

Hate to be the one to break it to you guys but.... you can't just lower you car without accommodating modification. =/

You can raise the preload, the rates will stay the same but it will feel stiffer (not sure how that works lol). This is also going to lower the life of your coilovers and its also gonna ride harsher.

The control arm is going to hit the shock towers because its so close to it. It needs that range of movement.

If it happens often and you don't want to raise it, the next option is to cut the shock towers and that will help out a lot. Might want to weld it up and do bodywork to get it to look normal. Ive seen this done and still look OEM . It can also look very apparent so if you do go through with it, make sure to know what it should look like.

Then you will also have the axles hit the frame so its all about how far your willing to go.

 

He is totally right, but i disagree with the solution to shock tower clearance. Cutting the shock tower is not the solution and i probably will never recommend the process. First of all its a very dangerous process, it is also time consuming, and you need special tools, knowledge and power to build a set of factory looking shock towers.

Some solutions to prevent the annoying knocking.

use oem(factory control arms) They provide more clearance cause of the sleeker stock shape. The aftermarket control arms tend to be a bit bulky(not saying its the same for all parts) but factory allows a tiny bit of noticeable clearance.

Using Stiffer spring rates to prevent the car from dampening more than usual. So take into consideration a slammed car, would you want it to smack the ground? i dont think so. So use stiffer springs to keep the car up.

 

^ ur right bro.
but without cutting the towers my axles and tie rods hit the frame, they have made like grooves n **** hahah i think i will grind down the frame a little bit.


also people STAY AWAY from blox lca. i dont know how weksos and other companies sell them knowing theyre crap specially with a brand new suspension set up.

 

Ya there are other things that can make our cars lower without cutting and banging ****. But going low sacrifices alot of things.

Like he stated post above me:

Your tierods tend to notch out the frame rail
your axles tend to run into the frame rail
On my case the axles notch away at the alternator bracket and pivot the bolt.


btw you get what you payed for.
i wanted to get decent priced coilovers, with decent ride: so far the name has out done itself, i bought 2 sets
one for me:
nothing to hide but tire:

 

So did the eg coilovers just bolt right up? And thats how low they went? lol

My friend has a four door ef and is looking to get these but he doesn't know if they will go low enough for him ha.
