OK I bought these Ksport coilovers for my s13, and no matter what I do, it seems that I cant lower the rears. The lowest I seem to get them, looks stock. Is there something im missing here??

well unfortunately I cant offer any assistance but I recently performed a custom coilover conversion using the article on 240sx.org as a guideline and I realy cant get my rear very low either for some reason and it should go lower than I have it

i have k-sports. there are 2 ways to adjust the ride height. first way is to unbolt the shock from the bottom and turn clockwise the lower part of the shock body.

next way is to undo the locking perches below the spring. these you would turn counter-clock to lower. this way reduces your shock travel but works.

my suspension was stock, but now its much lower.

wouldnt reducing your shock travel hurt performance?? I would think that would kill ur dampers

Just don't lower it too much by compressing the spring.

i have d2s and had to compress the front spring a pretty good bit to get it to the height i wanted. However running a slight preload in the front makes the car want to understeer somewhat, however eliminates any rubbing whatosever.
