People with coilovers, please read on to help me

[cj_sx_2011]

hey, thanx to all the replys on this, i am looking into getting the "bc br type ra series coilover" and just waiting back on a reply from them,

but i am wondering, out of you guys do any of u have the capped price servicing from mitsubishi? if so did they say anything to you for changing from stock spring/shocks to coilovers? as im wanting to know is all.

[Hitman]

They never said anything to me. Last service I had a noise coming from the front & they checked everything out except the coilovers, said they couldn't touch them which I expected. Nothing else was a problem to check.

Serviced last month - uneven tyre wear ..

suggested wheel alignment + front/rear wheel rotation ..

No mention re: non standard suspension

I run BC Golds on my car. They are a good buy for sure.

Just like the forementioned, they help the handling, ride becomes a bit firmer and you will feel the road more, and the adjustments make it a worth while purchase.

I run a practical 35mm drop and 1.5 deg neg camber, setting of 10 on front and 12 on rear for daily driving. Tyres are wearing evenly now as before with stock 0 camber the outer edges were wearing more quickly. The ride is more responsive but it's definitely not going to break your tailbone or rattle your kidneys.

Those with a Sportback, some drilling is required in the rear for the adjusters. This is due to the extra chassis plating.

Anyone with a sedan install without drilling? I couldn't find access so had to resort to drilling. maybe I didn't look hard enough.

Also, are most running with the factory preload?

hey, you guys there is no need to drill a hole for the rear dampers in the sedan, well i didnt have to,

when installing the rears just make sure that you angle the coilover alittle when putting it in,

then put your hand up the top where there is 2 openings and the top opening you can put your fingers in there to move the damper forward alittle to sit in front of the first opening then it will sit there and not move and always be able to access it,

you may need to get a screwdriver to manova the damper cord if your fingers are as big as mine, then before doing every bolt up, make sure u can turn the damper cord each freely and normally then proceed to tighten everything up,

done, no need for drilling in sedan

Mine didn't need drilling either (sedan)

[Kyrus]

you guys have a picture of how u did that? when i had mine in i had to drill my car.

[sleeper]

here u go kyrus.



one day i`m going to learn how to use this friggin camera, dont help that the manual is in dutch

[Kyrus]

oh? so it actually feeds all the way to the top? haha the guy that installed it drilled a hole a few inches below that.

cheers steve!

[rokpapaziz]

yeah mines the same as Sleepers the adjuster knob is on the end of a line about 40cms long. You just feed it through the frame in the boot and it sits there out of the way

[cj_sx_2011]

yeps its pretty easy, key words here, no drilling necessary
