GT Motoring Challenge Comp coilover review

XwChriswX

Thank you KB for your review. Can you say what level of ride height you're rolling at on the street vs. on the track, or is it the same? Have you had any problems with the lowered ride height?


I'm pretty much sold on these as thanks to your review, and their color scheme suits me perfectly!

+1 rep for you sir.

At first I had the ride height LOWER than I had with my Tanabe lowering springs and it was WAY too low! I literally could not get over a speed bump! So I took the car in to where I normally get my alignments done and they basically "fixed" the initial install and corrected the ride height. In the end it was about the same height that I had it at before or maybe an eighth of an inch lower.

Absolutely no problems at that point. I keep the same ride height on the street that I use on the track and it is lower than some would like however it doesn't really bother me too much. I still have to be very mindful of driveways and speedbumps and such however.

I will post up pics of the ride height soon.

Awaiting pics

Exactly what was it they did to 'fix' the height? Did you have any problems with your springs and the ride height?

I'm having a problem with my Z squatting... I had to put in spring spacers to maintain the height, but I don't have as much compression space as I used to... I need to get it looked at again. I used eibach's by the way...

The "fix" didn't have anything at all to do with the installation process. What happened was, MISTAKENLY I left out the rear bushings (see pic)



The bushing is there for a reason. I had left them out on the initial install and that was stupid. The springs don't seat properly and have a chance to move around a bit. Anyway, we put them back in and problem solved. Nissan developed these things for a reason.

I think this is the culprit to my suspension problem as well!!!!!!! F'N-A!

I need to get it on a lift cause I think mine were left out after the install...

Yeah it sounds as though that may be the case. Double check it... you'll be glad you did.
