Well since I am a nub, I cant post in the SUSPENSION topics so I will post here.

Kind of a stupid question but here it goes anyways.

I have coilovers and to raise the car do I need to twist them down or twist them up? It would make since to twist them up but my car is dropped about 2 inches and it seems the perchs dont want to go up anymore so I cant raise my car back up. .

 

twist up... usally people jack the car up so that its a bit easier.

 

dang.. of course i jack up my car... but the springs are pushign back the perches....

 

Do you have any thread left on the coilover? What kind of suspension do yo have? It could be that the perch is seized. Try spraying some penetrating spray on the perches and threaded collar.

 

when i had my coilovers i had a friend that sprayed them with something they used at the shop and i never got much debrea on them afterwards. i forgot what he put on there.

 

if the perch is just stuck,
then unstick it somehow(use ur noggin)

if the spring is in fact pushing it back so you cant screw it up any further,
then the only way to get it higher would be to get shorter springs.

you can get coilover springs in many different lengths, and prettymuch any springrate you want.

eibach ERS or hypercoils are the two best.
hypercoils are a bit pricier but have a top o the line rep.

hunt around for a distributor near u

 

yah. the spring is pushing against the perch... thnx for ya'lls help =D
