![]() I finally got the K member in the car and the A-arms and coil overs on. The springs were wrong, so I had to wait on more. The ones I have now are good.
I have the ride hight were it was before, but like this, it don't stand up in the front like it used to. If I adjust it down low so that it gets more travel on the struts, then it is too low in the front. What do I do from here, I want to go wed night, but I am not to thrilled.

![]() What kind of caster/camber plates are you using. If you the spacers that come with most of them you need space up the plates that will give you more travel on the struts

![]() What spring rates are you using? When switching to coilovers you need a different spring rate from stock to maintain the same wheel rate.
Maximum Motorsports website has a good explanation of wheel rate vs spring rate at the stock and coilover locations. Good luck, Rich D. |

![]() I think 125 is not enough. MM offers rates from 200-550 lb/in, so I would think 200 is the minimum you should get for a coilover setup.
Good luck, Rich D. |

![]() The new ones hold the car up better, but on the street with the radials it does not leave as hard as it used too. Last night I put the 28" ET Streets on it and it stood strait up and did not spin with a 3500rpm launch. I would have gone to the track last night but I left my coil wire at work, and the one on the car is shot. It makes the car pop and miss.
