Got COIL-OVER, mmm not quite happy!!

[West]

Hi ppls:

Just had coil over in me car, me ride is now so bumpy that giving me a headache, anyone got them in their car?

What heigh should i have as at the moment i got the front pretty low and the back is still a bit higher than the front but still lower than before. What softness should i set for the back cos Melb roads...well you all know what's it like.

Having it too stiff or have it soft? which does better for the car for take off, connering?

Anyone? Oh another thing is is there a place that selll special spanner or what ever that is to adjust the heigh as i want to do it myself, don't want to take them to work shop cos $$$ is an issue.

Thanks.

my suspension is set pretty hard.... and yeah its nice and bumpy and rough! i like it that way... had to drive the daewoo into work tonight and was scared cause it was almost like it was floating and just felt like crap... hated it compared to my line

[dAVE]

the hardness is a combination of your shocks and springs i beleive. not much you can really do to fix it.

with height adjust.. the tools are pretty $$, but i know of a few people on the forums who have made their own for about $15. Last time I was in ricebarn, we were looking at the HKS catalogue, and they were 9,800 yen for a set of 2 from japan..

[inark]

anyone got a picture of what height adjustables look like? and like where u adjust em from?

I could show you Inark if you're really interested! met you at D day once with doc and that. why selling it?

[inark]

I also have height and damper adjustable coil-overs, and on the softest setting it is still very stiff! (i wouldn't have it any other way )

If i turn up a steepish drive way, i get some three wheel motion happening, with one of my rear wheels spinning freely about 1-3 inches off the road .

If you'd like we could meet up and compare ride comfort.

What brand are they? Mine are TEIN or OFFICE one of the two.

What is D-Day, can you please fill me in?

I have Tein. Lovelyu bumby ride. My grandma said she was having a massage in the back seat.

the tool to adjust height is called a C Spanner

WEST: Obvious question, but do you live in the western suburbs? I live in Delahey/Sydneham.

Yeah i looked at getting coilovers as well... but as it's my daily driver i was put off by the rough ride. I'd be keen to see what others have and what the ride is like. I've got potenza shocks (dunno what springs) and it's quite nice. But when i give the car a sharp turn there is some body roll. And the car needs to be lowered some more! I'll be getting some new springs to bring it down a bit and also reduce the body roll, but still keeping some comfort... any recommendations?
