ktec coilovers

[gaz661]

Gonna be fitting a set of ktec coilovers to my 182 in the next couple of days. whats the best ride height to go for with 16'' wheels?
im planning on doing a couple of track days in it this year so would want a fast road/track setup.

Just phoned ktec theyve told me...
REAR: 10MM from underside of adjusting ring to the beam.
FRONT: 120MM from top bolt hole in strut to the underside of the spring platform.
This should give me a fast road/track setup.
Abit of usefull info if anybody needs it.

KW/H&R Would give a better fast road/track set up

Useful info, I just set mine up so it was slightly nose down and was a height which I liked visually. The front rubs a little when I'm cornering hard and go over a dip in the road, but nothing too serious.

when fitting these coilovers do i need to use anything off the standard suspension? also do you remove the big rubber thing which sits under the suspension turret??

 

[Sam@NP]

Surely you want to corner weight it and get the geo done afterwards.

 

[JackJack]

You need the top mount off the old suspension.

Pretty sure corner weighting isn't really necessary unless it's a pure track car/race car.

Worth getting all the alignment and that set up though.

 

[gaz661]

what about the rubber cup under the turret?
