i had the bottom collar on my front coilovers removed today, when we took the coilover out, the washer nut(not sure what its called, see pic) was broken. I had to go to the dealer and pic these up $4 each.

my tech told me that these normally brake after a certain amount of miles and should be replaced.

here is a pic with the bottom perch removed:


pic of car, lowered all the way down, with 1 collar removed. It lowered about 1/2 an inch. Now my car is back to the rake look, before this, with coils all the way down it was sitting flat:

Now rear camber thats a different story...

white and whiter
The tein up front naturally has more camber for whatever reason. I found this out after switching to pss9 and installing my tein to my friends car.

Is that true only for Tein or for all c/os? Have never heard of that problem happening before.

Geez Roland, your ride is sick to def! I just got the same exact model a few weeks ago (stock). It looks like yours when you first started this thread! I'll be stealing a couple of your mod ideas

I've been scanning through the entire thread over the past couple of days. Nice job man. I don't think im going to drop mine as much due to the issues you have had on the L.A roads. But I def want to incorporate some black to contrast the white. Duel exhaust is a must as well.

im not sure. it might be for the stock suspension as well because those pieces i bought are oem and they are for the factory suspension. Im guessing its something you use on both struts/springs and coilovers...

I know my buddy had the same problem on his w209...

if you were closer Tru I'd do your fender lol... I have my roller and angle grinder in my trunk haha.

I'm liking the stock chrome grill for some reason, guess cause it flows with the headlights.
