Default 5th gens with coilovers please post


installed coilovers, adjust the height from the very bottom/top barely changes. the fronts adjust fine but both of the rears barely change from me having it at the lowest setting to the highest setting.

-i put the coil with the longer sleeves in the rear

the coilovers cam with some black o-rings they are about the size of half dollars. one is thick, other is decently think and other is pretty thin. what are these for and what do they do?

the big O rings go between the 2 adjusters

the bigger springs go in the rear

the smaller springs go in the front

as far as the part that you raise or lower the ride height those were pretty much the same size for me.

when done correctly the rear end should look lower then the front its just how it ends up. the rear wheel wells are cut small then the front if i'm correct

did you cut the cushion thats between the damper and the gold ring at the to of the damper?? your supposed to cut that to leave about 1" of cushion?

i'll post pics of my lude tomorrow when i get a chance so you can compare
