What are these two bolts for? (Fitting B14's)



DSC_0001.gif


The two bolts between the shocks, they are to small to be used to hold the rear or front shocks into place so i'm guessing they are for the rear spring carriers but can't see where they go?

I pressume the rear spring carriers just sit into place over the existing rubber stopper?

I have this kit, didn't have those two bolts though? And I can't see where they would go? Rears fit exactly as a standard shocker does, change the springs over and fit the adjusters under the springs. I don't have the adjuster on the rear of mine, I removed it to allow it to drop more. But I don't have any interior to compensate

This is what I thought odd really, the seller had the coilovers fitted at a garage so can't comment on how they go on unfortunately.

Give k-tec a ring? I'm sure they would help you. Fred knows a lot about them as well. But 100% mine doesn't have them. If it was me I'd go ahead and fit them. It's easy to do. Just measure the two front shocks so they have the same amount of drop and keep adjusting until your happy with the look of the car

I have seen people nut and bolt the lower rear shocker if the threads have been damaged etc? Occasionally they will snap! Had it happen once to me!

Maybe that? You shouldn't require them though IMO. :)

If you bought these off M6 tmw is it, the bolts arn't off the coilovers as i sold him them, they are indeed the 2 bolts out of the Powerflexed dogbone mount i also sold him, hope this clears this up for you

yes these are the coils i sold him, couldnt see the pic at 1st as i was on my mobile and as said the bolts are from the dogbone, also notice it says you have a 182 and these are infact 172 fitment

Ohh yeah and the adjuster for the rears should be fitted to tye top i.e against the body and not on the rear beam iirc

1000000% sure! See a post that sprintcup has also put up today regarding this, they usually do go at the bottom but on the B14's they should be at the top as whwn its at the bottom and the rear beam moves up and down the spring doesn't seat on the adjuster properly!

Thanks fellas....with the adjusters removed the car sits quite low at the back..(on 16" alloys)....with the adjusters fitted but screwed right in (lowest setting)...the car sits a bit too high.

Is it one or the other..??

The adjusters don't allow for enough adjustment on the rear, it's a shame TBH
