Like I've told you before, it's very possible you will have rubbing issues by adding the spacers when you have passengers or hit bumps/dips where your rear tire goes up into the wheel wells slightly. I think you're asking for trouble.

ItalianStallion

Hey man, your car looked great

Take care

c230 o5

is this who i think it is? lol



100 shot NOS(lol) see you thursday at the meet

ItalianStallion

Yeah bro

But the tuner's dyno is broke and he said by Fri it should be repaired, so it'll hopefully be next thurs that I get the bottle plugged in. For now, I'll have to settle for the good old V8 lol

Peace

The Invo's are tight! My cousin has those on his galant 235/35R19. They've got a really cool tread pattern, they're decently sticky, and no/very little squeaking. Only problem is they are very rare right now, so hard to get. 260 treadware rating isn't bad.

I may try those next, if they have a 265/30R19 by then. Still have a lot of tread on my tires.

it's unnecessary and it'll rub.

looks good

but am I the only one noticing you have the rear spring perch upside down.

c230 o5

its great in the rain and they grip very well so far . i was told by my shop that they will grip even better when they get worn out more

c230 o5

c230 o5

i do? i dont think so, how did you notice it?
if i do have them upside down will that cause any problems, it shoudnt be any difference isn't the same?

rlee02135

i would bring it back and have them reinstall ASAP.

c230 o5

can you please show me whats installed upside down?? so i can know exactly what your talking about .. show me a picture

what can go wrong?

rlee02135

this is the way it should go:



not like this:



the piece to adjust the ride height should be on top, not the bottom.

what can go wrong?....would you really like to find out?
would you install your tires in a backwards direction? or reverse the connectors when installing the battery?

best idea would be to take it back and reinstall correctly ASAP.

c230 o5

wow.. thanks man im going right now . all this time 1000 miles im surprised nothing happend it still handled great and the ride is fine

anways im going NOW

oel

I think the perch goes on the botton on the pss9, that's how mine were too.

c230 o5

my shop told me this is how it has to be installed . thats how they been doing it all these years with bilsteins...tein and bilsteins are diffrent, i am gussing they are diffrently designed.. i called bilistein and they told me that the perch has to be on the buttom of the spring... i see that FRANK W has also tein coilovers.... ONLUN 9 said that he has it the same setup as i do and he has PSS9... so i guess diffrent coilover design?

FrankW

interesting...

might be just for easier to adjust height reason.

c230 o5

i guess so . i mean if it was installed the wrong way wouldnt i feel something wrong? even though i called bilstein and told that the spring has to be ontop of the perch. Im going to also call CarLab and ask them also..

drexappeal

I've never seen coilovers where the spring perch is on top of the springs and not below. Hmmm...interesting.

c230 o5

so are you agreeing with what im saying??

ChristianJan

So you needed a 5mm spacer correct? Also, how low of a setting did you use on your C/Os?

c230 o5

yea i had to use a 5mm spacer h&r hub centric for the front
i went low i guess.. as you can see in one of the pictures i had a
tape measure. the gap between the tire and the fender is 1 inch FOR the front... and the rear i can hardly squeeze my finger in-between the fender and the tire (lol) but theres no RUBBING
