Hi guys, been abit of a tool tonight and though, "hey my car aint low enough at the back so ile get under and have a bash at lowering it abit more"

Well Ive done it and its not level atall.

Ime abit confused as to which way the adjuster should be going to "lower" the car at the back, ie the wheel to be "tucked" up in the arch more.

Ive done a little picture lol.

Please could I have some advise as to which way the adjuster should be going, ie up or down as in the pic?

Thank you

Hahaha its amazing isnt it!

It sort of makes some sense though? lol

wind down to lower

Down the way.

I was thinking, if it was wound up then it was compressing the spring, and thus making the car lower?

So was I totally wrong lol?

 

[marinemackay2003]

we all make mistakes trial and error ftw

Nice one, so judging by where the adjuster is at the minute (the pictures tells the story) it has quite some way to come down!

 

[marinemackay2003]

about 40 mm lol

 

[Matthew]

Thats how they were set up!

I know springs "settle" but come on! lol

Mines about 10 threads from the bottom and theres about 1 cm gap between the rear arch and the tyre.

 

[marinemackay2003]

same mine are as far as they go to the bottom

You on the K-tec ones buddy?

 

[marinemackay2003]

gaz golds

but had the k-tec ones on my ph 2

 

[Matthew]

Ile be winding the buggers right down in the morning then.

Hope my allen key selection fits the adjuster :S hole thingy

 

[marinemackay2003]

[Matthew]

seriously why do people think that, i've never understood it!

love the picture!

 

[Matthew]

Cheers! lol

The spring will only compress so much due to the weight of the car thats why there is a spring pound rate.
Chuck a bag of sand in the boot that will do it.....:rasp:
