upr coilover kit

[paxton86]

the kits been sitting in my house for about a month now, and i tried installing it a few weeks ago, but im not sure if i use all of the stock rubber peices from the strut tower mount or not. i put it all on, but it didnt look right, like it was too tall, and the nut on top didnt want to tighten more than a quarter of the way of what it should.

i tried to put it all together before i put it in the strut tower, should i be doing it a different way? do i use all the rubber peices or are some unused?

use a rubber bump stop
on teh strut inside the spring, so the shock doesnt bottom out which it will if you have stock struts and drag springs

for the top, use everything, if you haev stock CC plates, take that metal cylindrical piece and cut it down to slide it badck inside the top rubber bushing. Then you can tighten it all the way down.

It wil help to get after market CC plates with a spherical bushing in the top

otherwise along with the clanking, the coils will twist up and when they break free and untwist you will hear duuoing!, it gets very annoying. I found my coilovers very very annoying for a daily driver. Thats why i dont even want a tubular K member anymore unless i can run a standard spring.

the coilovers also do not clear my wheels and tires by more than a few MMs and they rub in turns, With the skinnies it was great and i dailied on them for a year. the drag springs handles BETTER than stock. I had 14 inch 175s

How wide were the tires you were running that were rubbing?
