New Coilovers and Exhaust TOO low!! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

freeagent3117 · 02-28-2012, 11:20 AM

I put new coilovers on and now my exhaust is almost touching the ground :/
Anyways i am dropping it off at the exhaust shop to get cut and moved. My prob is i cant drive it there being that low. No way. I wanna raise the coilovers as high as i can. How much thread has to be in the bottom mounts so i know how high i can go. (its about 10min away from my house)

I need to sell my coilovers!? ^^^^

So ya my exhaust IS the problem. it was kinda custom so its needs to be cut and angled higher. Just need to temp adjust the coils for the ride there. I just wanted to be safe driving with them up high since i never really did that before...

lolol

freeagent3117 · 02-28-2012, 01:18 PM

I would say at least one to two full thread circles. What set up are you running?

If you're having this issue then there is something wrong with your exhaust or coil over set up.

fixing the exhaust unless that's the true problem is only a band aid for a bigger problem.

slydin240sx · 02-28-2012, 01:48 PM

What kind of coils do you have? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

It's like you don't realize everyone is laughing at you.

Motary · 02-28-2012, 02:12 PM

Since everyone is making fun of you here, I'll tell you need about one inch of thread engagement, it is usually written in the installation manual.

nomoremk2 · 02-28-2012, 02:23 PM

Anyone installing suspension components shouldn't need an installation manual.

I'm not laughing at your coilovers. I'm laughing at you fucktard. I also don't have any kids and can spend my hard earned money however I choose.
I can understand why you didn't blow 2 grand on legit coils. Props for putting your family first. But you don't want to drive down the road to get your exhaust fixed whyyyyy? Seriously my car is slammed as fuck! I drive it daily everywhere with no ill effects. Now get in your 240 and drive slow and go get your exhaust tucked more and stop making stupid threads!
