    Coilover And Brake Q's

    in Suspension, braking and tyres

    Posted

    This isn't another which coilover should I buy thread.

    I bought my 25GT with Tein coilovers on it, but I'm not sure what sort of Tein Coilovers, as I haven't had the wheels off yet for a closer look.

    As usual they're really rough when I drive over any kind of imperfect surface, be it a speed bump (the narrow kind they put in shopping centre car parks to destroy suspension because who speeds in a car park) or a very minor change in road surface where bitumen has been relaid. I do know they're damper adjustable, but don't really know which way to turn the knob thing to make them softer. Can someone explain this to me?

    Also the front driver's side makes a noise when going over any of the aforementioned surfaces, like fluid passing through the damper and the rear passenger's side squeaks when travelling over bumps too quickly for the suspension. Is there a way I can find out if I need to replace the dampers or springs on the coilovers?

    With regards to my brakes, when I bought the car I was told the front pads would have to be changed, and then told that they were done as part of the roadworthy after I arranged for one. I suspect the brakes may not have been bedded properly, as they creek when I brake with low-medium effort. Is it possible to bed brake pads without knowing what sort of pads are in there, should I just keep driving my car and ignore the noise, hoping that the pads bed in, or do I need to take action and see a brakes and suspension specialist?

    Anyone free next Tuesday or Wednesday and wanna help me pull my dash out so I can put some replacement LED bulbs in? I've never done anything like it, and I don't want to break anything. Also, does anyone know if a 34 is supposed to have a headlights on/door open/key still in ignition warning? Mine doesn't and I'd like to have one if I'm supposed to.

    I believe the words you were actually looking for are something like this 'you have over cooked the onions and the sausages'.

    But I forgive you're lack of definition and articulated vocabulary, as I know that some people in this world have not had the blessing to have the same or similar level of understanding and education that I have been provided.

    But I do appreciate you're efforts. As I am know it must be really difficult for you to communicate effectively with others.

    Thank you for trying though and please take care of yourself.

    Berates troll over low level of education.
