i just installed my GC + koni set up. the front of my car is slammed with the coilovers all the way up. why?!! i can't figure it out.

the koni yellows should have 3 different height settings, which slot is the ring on the koni's sitting on?

ieatrice

the very top

what spring rate and length did you get? with the threaded collars on the very top circlip of the konis, there should be no reason you are so 'slammed' as you describe with either 7" or 8" springs or even the off the shelf springs. Unless you have the collars switched from front to rear.

Also, did you get the koni-specific sized GC collars?

ieatrice

i have the off the shelf rates. i got the GC's made specifically for koni's.

Crazydave

the front and rear have different lenght sleeves, which are on the front the longer or shorter?

ieatrice

the shorter sleeves are in the front and the longer sleeves are in the back

blinx9900

common sense says swich'em... i could be wrong though.

ieatrice

pretty sure the long sleeves go in the back from the pictures i've seen

Crazydave

where are the adjusters on the sleeves, maybe you just have them set too low
if I remember correctly, the long ones are in the back, and with them on the middle groove, with may car at 4-5" off the ground, the adjusters are set pretty low.

did you install the sleeves correctly.

did you put the little donut thingy in the sleeve (or do you have the baby sleeves?

um, u mean the bumpstops? i cut those in half and used the top half like the instructions said. i have the ground controls made for koni's. i'm sure i got the correct spring and sleeve in the front and back. the front koni shocks have 2 levels, i put it on the top one and the rear koni shocks has 3 levels, i put it in the middle.

Crazydave

the middle and top koni rings should be fine,
the bump stops should be fine...

how far off the ground are the side rails of your car (from the ground to the jack points)
