Hi all
I just received my package today and was wondering whether there should be 4 top hats for the springs. 2 front and 2 back - cause i only found 2 -- those who have purchased and installed this - the part i'm questioning is shiny gold spring top hat or called spring seat within the manual -- for stand alone coilovers - its refered to as the spring top hat -- those that have installed this - did you receive 4 gold spring seat / top hat that goes on top of the spring |

Yeah they're fully height adjustable, and the top of the gas shocks have little metal knobs that you turn clockwise to firm up the dampening and couterclockwise to soften things up a little.
Right now since weathers bad I have them set about two clicks softer than the standard setting (10 clicks counterclockwise from the most firm setting.)and ride quality is pretty forgiving considering how low it is and how bad roads are in Jersey. They tell you to only use settings 1-16 otherwise you may damage the struts, so I'm assuming that this means only 16 clicks up from the softest. This would leave you with 3-4 more settings stiffer from the standard settings, and about 10 or so softer settings which is great if you're concerned with daily driving comfort. As for the ride height, on mine its set about an inch up from the bottom of the threads on the strut and its really low. However you have about 3-4 inches of thread above my settings to raise it up if you want. Art, the Kumho ASX's that I have are great...I got them on sale at Tirerack for something like $63 per tire which is a total steal for what you get. Now that my suspension is up to par I've realized how good the tires actually are....they handle the recent wet weather very well and were good in snow last season. They seemed to be very responsive and grippy in dry weather too so I recommend them highly. -Corey -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |
