sitting high??

[jimc347]

i have the koni front struts in my car with the hotkis camber adjustment and the front of the car sits high up. how can i lower this??????

 

[jimc347]

anyone?

How new are they? It's possible (unlikely, but possible) they need to settle.
What about your control arm bushings...how old are they? If new, did you tighten them before the car loaded the suspension? Are they for a 94 & up, not the 87-93?

If all is correct, settled in place, may be time for lowering springs. I personally have Bullitt springs on my 88, I really like the ride height and quality...

Maybe your front does'nt sit high, it could be your back sitting low, which is common problem.

lowering springs

well i bought the car with them on there. from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender is about 7 0r 8 inchs.????? is it the struts??

What size tire is on the car?

 

[88GT17MA]

Springs are what effects ride hide, not shocks/struts.

You already have lowering springs on there?

The end of the springs are suppose to sit in the perch a certain way, which could also be your problem.

 

[jimc347]

i have no lowering springs and they are 16' wheels. it's diffenitly not normal.

-Drag setup?
-Compressed heigth of the strut is incorrect?
-Control arm to k-member bolts tightened when suspension was hanging?
-Factory type springs and the car has been lightened drastically up front?
-Spring not properly in it's nesting area on the control arm?
-Body in the trunk?
-Someone put truck springs in it?
-The spring isolators are too thick?
-You measured it with the cm side of the ruler?
-Blocks in the springs?
-Blocks not in the springs?
-WTF?

your springs are what controls the height.
buy some lowering springs, get it alligned and you'll be all set

Get some UPR Adjustable Coil Over springs and set the ride height the way you want it.

from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender is about 7 0r 8 inchs.?????

Ive never even had one set THAT high without a motor. Sounds like someone wanted to go offroad. Go spring shopping.

Actually, gas pressurized struts/shocks do have some ability to affect ride height as they contribute a bit to the spring rate. But it sounds like this is more drastic than that.
