height adjustable?

[MainEvent212]

my friend mentioned height adjustable shocks...?

i dont remember what brand...i dont think it was tokico...maybe though?

absolutly no such thing. Shock can only come in stiffness adjust, increasing rebound and dampening rates. SHock and struts have nothing what so ever to do with ride hieght, That is all in the spring.

Not necessarily. It's not uncommon to see shocks and struts with adjustable spring perches. In which case it would be a combination of the spring and shock that determines the height of the vehicle. My rear Apex T-Max shocks have an adjustable rear perch in about 5 mm increments.

i'll ask my friend, he told me about them, he says theyre better than KYB's

hes ays it's better to adjust the height by shocks instead of just springs, that way u get better ride out of em or something...i dont remember, i was jsut focused on my food (we were on the way back from mcdonalds)

im beginning to thing hes talking about a fully adjustable coil over kit where the whole entire strut piece is threded so that the strut and sping can be lowered so that shock travel is not effected.

[MainEvent212]

no, i know what coil overs are, so does my friend

he claims this is a height adjustable strut...i donno wut he's talkin bout, i keep forgettin to ask

hmm i to am confused, maybe hes is just talking about a strut that has a threaded tube so a spring perch can be spun up and down on it(which then would turn it into a full coil) so i dunnno im confused, but anyway the shock it self is no way possible height adjsutable, simple b/c a strut can not support the weight of a vehicle so what height would you be adjusting?? the spring does that

[MainEvent212]

well i donno what he's talking about then...he says they're koni's though

[EnzoRWD]

ground controls?

[91nis240]

yes i do belive that koni, like i describe in my laqst post, that they make a strut that has a threaded tube for a spring perch.
