Problems with coilovers.....

[JayPat83]

trying to figure out what to do. they ride great but it just seems sooo low. wondering what wheel i should use to fill up the fenders as much as possible. thinking of getting 5zigen Typhoons in 17x8 with +35mm offset. think they'll be out far enough? maybe a +25mm offset on something then?

another......

[JayPat83]

this is the look that i am going for..........

thats the top of the adjustment range?!?!?

[JayPat83]

??? do you mean is that as high as i can make the rear go?

most coilovers (if not all?) are height adjustable. what kind of coilovers do you have? or do you have a lowering springs? I have 17x8 5zigen FN01R-Cs (the same as the ones on the car u posted) and have them in a +35mm offset but i dont have coilovers which may require more clearance. id go with the +25mm offset if you have coilovers and want the 17x8s.

mookeeh's and the rear is as high as i can possibly go in the height setting.

Holy crap that is low...

[JayPat83]

yup. i am affraid that my +17mm offset will rub in the rear

are you sure your not missing a spacer for the coilovers? It should not sit that low.

the first pic is what i got........the second one is the setup that i think i need...........

[JayPat83]

think i need these rears.........

[TurboKA37]

yea, that looks way too low for its highest setting. i would send them an email to make sure the product you recieved is correct

Yeah... those are the Mookee coilovers that I see on Ebay all the time. The Tein box must be from the camber plates I assume. You posted this problem last week without pics.... right?

I am guessing they sent you the wrong coilovers. Those are WAAYYY too low. With the heigth adjustment set as high as you can go, you also run the risk of blowing the dampers prematurely.

I'd send 'em back or something.
