alright heres whats goin on. the front of my car is about 4/5 in. off the ground from the front lip. and want to lower the back and front a little more. (the back mainly) but the coilovers cant go any lower. they are supposed to go down 4 in. they are kyb agx and arospeed coilovers. thanks

 

seems low take a pic but try taking out one of the coil packs(those things to turn up and down, take out the first one, and then turn the second one down futher so the coil is neg on the pack

 

so your saying put the perches past the threads??

 

I think he's saying remove one of the perches so you have an extra 1/4" of lowering?

Not sure.

At 3/4 way down, my front bumper is 3" off the ground. If I go all the way, I can easily do 2" off the ground and tuck my 13s. Omni and OEM struts. I raised it back up to stock height though, streets and inclines have no mercy.

 

From my experience with KYB AGX shocks, they don't deal well in slammed applications. They're great shocks for stock or mild drops, but they will probably resist you lowering the car 4 inches and, even if they don't, they'll blow out relatively soon thereafter because of the stress.

I would reconsider.

 

oh, i see but i wouldnt be able to lock that individual perch. and still i shouldnt need to do that if they are supposed to go that low.

 

well i have the Agx on dropzone coilovers dropped about 3.5 all around with a remove perch in the rear and the bottom perch threaded down a little lowere, ive got the front perches up about 3/4 inch, my shocks are doing fine, i broke one taking the nut of to take the perch out the rod nut snapped off, so its my fault but other than that i love em

 

yah i understand that i could take one of the perchs off but it still doesnt make sense why i cant go lower.

 

go take a pic off your coilovers on your car

 

alright, i will tommorow cause its raining right now

Do KYB's have different places you can mount the lower support onto the shock? On my Konis they sit on a snap ring, and there are different grooves on the body of the shock that I can put the snap ring in, depending on how low I want the car.

Could've fooled me.

 

you can cut coils on your arospeed coilovers. it says so in the instructions

If they are progressive spring rates, then you could chop off a dead coil.

 

ok heres some pics.. the first ones a pic of the car, the next is the front, and the bottom is the rears.

 

as you you can see i can go down lower but not enough to make a difference

 

if you want slamm. just use the coil over spring and ditch the perch.

lol, i see altezza's aswell

 

Take the top perch off and just leave the bottom one. I did it on my crx with my coilovers because I ran into the same problem.

 

Looks like your coilover is upside down. I think your car looks clean w/ that drop.

 

Lots of people put the sleeve upside down so you can thread the perches down as far as you want.

 

yea i knwo my car is pure rice right now, we all make mistakes mean was that graphic, but in summer itll be clean green, i have a mugen lip in my room, but im not about to embarass a mugen lip witht that stripe, so cut me some slack im wiser now
