Well some of you may know that I am refreshing the car at the moment, new suspension ect.

However I replaced the brakes today, EBC all around, and finally got tired of this problem.

About 1 month ago I got a carbon lip, and needed to raise the car a little. Luckily I have coilovers so I raised the car about 1/2-3/4s of an inch.

The problem is when ever I jack up the car the coils never seem to go into the perches correctly and leave it all out of sorts.

Does any one have any suggestions to make sure they settle in the perches correctly?

Thanks

 

would it be too much to ask you what brand coilovers you have....?

 

At the moment they are just skunk 2 will I am waiting. I have had them for about 5 years now and no problems.

I don't think its a product defect, its just that when I jack the car up, the coil comes out of the top mount/perch, then when I lower it again it doesn't go back in right.

 

Sounds like you need a set of helper springs to keep the main springs in a state of slight compression, to help stop them moving around.
