coilover help

[moffat]

right running budget coilovers, and atm ive got cesaros fitted which are 6inch wide, and id need spacers to run lower than it is the now, but im swapping for speedlines 6.5 inch wide and want it pretty low so anyone be able to recomend a size of spacer i will need?

get shorter springs... simple

:confused: his problem is spacing the wheels out so they don't rub on the coilovers lol

[Stuart]

odds on they are rubbing on the springs rather than the coilover bodies... but I'm willing to be corrected on that, and if they are rubbing on the coilovers, then he must have some epic ET60+ wheels lol

[mk1nova_rich]

I see where you're coming from now lol...shorter springs to move the adjuster higher up the body... which has to be the best way to go as spacers are just crap

[moffat]

removed helper springs already as said running cesaros atm and cant bring spring down to ride height i want and as am changing to speedlines which are a wider wheels so spacers seem to be the only option.

[Stuart]

fit shorter springs then.... you can get a lower ride height and RAISE the spring platform.

Had similar problems with my 1st XE Corsa, i ran 3mm spacers.

The coilovers i had were camber adjustable by the top strut/hub mounting hole, without spacer i could get them on without rubbing bit the camber was away to ****, 3mm spacers and i could get a bit of negative camber set up on them.

HTH.

On a side note you'd probably be better off with a decent set of shocks & 60mm springs than pissing about with cheap coilovers.

From personal experience its much easier, and a bit more confidence inspiring.

by size he means lenght, spring width can be an issue but lenght can usually be shortened thus raising the platform as stooart says

[Southie]

Was going to also say shorter springs, if your having camber issues get yourself a set of camber bolts off lmf.
