The bracket that bolts to the knuckle is threaded all the way through.
One end is shorter than the other.
So taking it off and flipping it reverse gives you an extra inch or so.

Ah, so for the fronts...I should look into that, my damn Aragosta's are maxed out at this point. Would be easier to flip the bottom mount that take the collars out.

I like my suspension travel lol.
4" is plenty enough man. it's not like 6~8" springs compress down all the way ever anyways in front in coilover applications.

First take a look to see if it's even worth it. Because my Stance coils are the same no matter how you have them flipped.


I also just noticed, the holes on the bracket of Stance coils are a little offcenter. By that I mean the top hole is in more to add camber. Never noticed that until now lol...

If you have the first gen PBM, you will need to flip:

http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/2...dbymax2fd9.jpg

2nd gen's are already fixed:

http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_...4007_large.jpg

When I had megan tracks, I flipped, removed all collars, and compressed the spring to get it where I wanted on 18s all around (rears drooped 1.5-2").

I've never noticed that. I was trying to do some magic with some godspeed coils (run different springs, and re-valve), but they didnt' go low enough.


pretty excited about these though.


I'm excited to see the ride quality with the 6kg rear springs. I've heard good things.

anyone here drive on the pro's vs the comp coils?

Depends how stiff your springs are and such. But I'd rather hit the bump stop than coil bind.

Yeah, hitting bump stops sucks. If you hit a bump stop in the middle of a corner you're screwed, all the grip in that corner just dissapears instantly, its bad. Allthough coil binding doesnt sound good either.

Well its either hitting something compressible at the rate something like 500lbs/in

Or

You can mash the spring coils together at a rising rate of around SOLID lol.
only time I touched the bump stops is during hard cornering and hitting a dip or something of the sort.



Damn I wish my Zenki was worth posting pictures of.
Maybe I'll get some action shots soon so it wont look too hideous lol.
