Hi Team

I bought a new BC racing suspension and had it fitted last week end.

I have problems with the rear as it is very low and there is only 2 to 2 1/2 travel in the shock before it hits the top (body)

The car has seperate coil and shock setup, I have fitted the new rear coils and they are adjusted for maximum height.

My car is a 2001 300gt 4dr sedan. Has anyone installed the BC racing rear suspension and can tell me the part numbers so I can check with mine.

Cheers, Oz

Hi

BC Racing V1's as I dont do track work and only do long distance country trips.

The old suspension just could not do the rough highways.

Does the gold series have a spacer between the coil and the lower control arm?

sorry but the the question makes no sense???

"too low" ??? does not compute :P

The gap between the top of the shock tube and the body is only about 2.5 to 3 inches of travel.

So in essence the shock can only travel 3 inches up before hitting the top mount.

Is this normal?

Someone has told me to extend the shock to raise the height but it is not a coil over so I don't understand how this can work.

Cheers, Oz

Yes they can still be adjusted.

On the shock you loosen the adjuster (red part?) and actually twist the body of the shock.

You have to also adjust the spring perch by the same amount. You do this by loosening one of the red adjusters and then twisting the one which the spring sits on.

I will try to find my manual and scan it for you. Pictures will tell a thousand words.

Hi all

Problem is now solved.

I had the suspension fitted by a profeesional (P) and thought they would do it properly.

So over the weekend and with instructions in hand, I adjusted the whole lot myself.

Problems found along the way:

Lost and striped wheel nuts.

Rear shocks not adjusted correctly if at all (over-extended).

Loose lock rings on front right side front.

Bent tabs for ABS on left side front.

I have video of what I had to do to fix the rear shocks

Outcome:

System is now working fantastic and I am fine tuning the damping.

My thanks to JustJap for thier fantastic help and sticking with me though the process of getting this all sorted (We need more companies with the same attitude here)

Thanks everyone, Oz
