Just play around with it a bit man, adjusting height isn't too difficult so just play around with the settings and you'll find the right height ;)

On my 34 the standard setting sat at about 1.5-2cm above tires, so that may help?

Yeah that al depends on the type of Tein coilover.

When i got mine from Japan 2nd hand, i didnt touch them and just threw them straight in the car. lol. Turned out perfect for what i wanted.

The only way to get it perfect for you, is as was said, play around. I have Type HA, this was where they were set:

And this is how it looks.

So a very broad assumption, is wind em down an inch lower than mine are set and go from there lol. FYI, 330mm from center of wheel to lip of guards, F+R.

Just thought id try posting here, when removing standard spring/shocks for coilovers do you need spring compressors? and does it matter which way the coilover faces? i have bc racing ones,

If there the ones i have, then lol i hope you enjoy a the bumps :P

I have mine set to the absolute limit on lowness for the rear ones and the fronts are about a quarter from the lowest, if you go too low on the front then obviously the tyres rub

also the stiffness adjustment i have mine on softest it will go on back and maybe 5-6turns on front, takes a while to find the right settings and hight and also tyre pressure will play a part too..

have fun... :yes:

You only need spring compressors if you intend to separate the spring from the shock. Given with a coilover install you are removing the whole unit as one piece no you don't need spring compressors.

cool thanks thats what i thought,

also other than the fronts needing the longer side facing outwards does it matter how the tops or rears are facing? or can they be rotated/installed either way.

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
