So I trashed my **** ractive coilovers and bought the Omni Power full coil over set up. The ride is amazing! Here's the situation..

My back end can drop about a half inch lower then the front and I was told this isn't normal in fact it should be the other way around?!? So i'm confused. The back end is also a lot stiffer than the front?!? Do you guys think you can help me out with this? And yes I pre-loaded the springs, so i'm not to sure what's up...help?? thanks a lot guys

 

you can switch over the entire strut if you unscrew the bottom part, my guess is you have them on front<->back.

dont preload too much, just enough not to make them loose without the load on the car.

 

SO dont prelaod as much as it tells me to? I didn't think I could take off the bottem part as far as I remember it stops at one point and wont come off?

 

I've seen numerous discussions about preload and to my best shuffling of the info i gather it does little more then hold the spring in place while there is no load of the car on it, which is all it really should do, under normal conditions..

And I've seen the bottom ends come off all the way on pictures, so it must be possible.. just the bronze part, mind you. If its screw'able, they must have gotten them on SOMEhow, proces should be reversable..

 

From what I gather you want me to switch the bronze ends front to back back to front and that should solve my plm. and pre load them less then I have. I might as well try it. thx anyone else want to help on this it would be great

 

The bronze ends cannot be reversed front to back, because they NEED to be installed front & back, they wont physicly fit reverserd! Everything else though, should be swapped over..

*pardon my spelling*

 

Omnipower's DC2 shock bodies are the same length, front and back.
This is probably the same problem that has been described by several other people, where the rear lower mount is too short, and does not allow enough range of adjustability. Contact Omnipower, they seem to have taken care of previous instances of this problem very well.

I've heard its common amoung coilovers to do that. I have Yonaka Coilovers and they do the same

Actually, you should email him. He doesn't log on to H-T all that often.

 

Yeah that maybe true but I IM'd him last Sat. night and had a reply on Easter Sunday. But do what ever you like he does check the AOL address in his profile!

 

When I e-mail/i-m him what exactly should I say to him so everything is all clear? Thanks so much for your posts
