clio 172
Not sure if anyone else has had this problem with the Bilstein B14 Coilovers where the ride height at the rear stays nearly standard even on the lowest setting. As per the two pictures I compounded this by stripping out the rear in preparation for making a track day car.
To resolve the problem I contacted Dom at Accustom designs to design and make a shorter spring to fit the Bilstein seatings and allow the car to drop a little / alot further. The result is as per the pictures below
I am currently letting the springs settle before re-adjustment, but the overall drop is pretty much where I wanted. Overall the springs were £60 and £43 fitting so worth doing.
If anyone is interested I have added the details below.
"designed a spring that should take your adjuster and be 4.5" long unloaded and a poundage of 300lbs per inch movement"
Thought this was worth posting as it could be a common problem .
