Coilovers adjust help needed
 
So I got some bc coils couple of week ago
For my hatch so I went ahead and install them
THE way they came two week later I cut my fenders
Put my flares and new wheels and I had to adjust
THE ride height but run in to something weird
In the rear my fender gap are even but coils are not even
IS like 3/4 difference one side is showing 2 1/4 and the other
IS 1 1/4 between spring perch and lower collar
Is there something wrong with them

2.25 and 1.25 isn't a .75 difference... What are these measurements? Inches? Centimeters? Threads?

Were things even before you cut your fenders?

My bad I was a bit tired last night is almost 1 inch difference
In the showing treads of the coils
I don't think they where like this before cuz I mesure them all the same before the install
And didn't do any adjustment at the time I put them on
After the new wheels and the flares that happened
By the way they're bc coils

The flares were cut and mounted evenly?

Rudiris Nov 29, 2016 01:23 PM

Yeah I check everything line up the same
I was thinking maybe my upper control arm bushing
Are binding causing not to go down all the way
Or there's not enough weight on that side to compress
The spring

JourdanWithaU Nov 29, 2016 02:14 PM

Is the subframe flat to the chassis?

You would need a lot of weight to compress one side. You bushings would have to really be binding to make a difference as well.

Have you corner balanced the car?

Rudiris Nov 29, 2016 04:32 PM

Chassis and subframe are flat
Haven't balance the car yet because tha issue
I'm kinda worrie I'm trying to foxy before I go for alignment
And balance
I check prelude on the preload on the spring they're
Same I don't know what to do now

That's why I post here see if someone has had the same problem or it's just me
