FAO those with Bilstein B14 Coilovers

[JCC]

Anybody who has this setup on their car, have any of you removed the rear adjusters? Any problems come from it?

Would like to get the rear of mine to sit a little lower, but I don't want to be having a "spirited" drive and have the rear springs fall out on me over a bump!

 

[Fred@BTM]

should be fine, i've noticed that on all the ones i've done the rear needs that little bit more (especially on stripped cars)

 

[Gaz.]

You'll be fine. My rear springs drop out the top cups by a good 2" on my coilies when jacked up, but I've never had a problem on a spirited drive.

I've left mine as it is, set up for go rather than show

Even goes on the Birchdown lift with no help, which apparently is a massive fail.

 

[Fred@BTM]

^are yours in the right way up? i swear i saw a picture of a cup with bilsteins at Birchdown with bilsteins fitted with the rears upside down

 

[Gaz_]

um?

Look right to me?

 

[Fred@BTM]

adjuster is upside down mate, its supposed to go at the top

doesn't matter though, it just says so in the instructions

if you put them in the way it says it becomes impossibe to adjust the ride height though - odd

I'll have a nose!

just cable tie them in if you['re worried about them falling out bud
