Suspension geometry doesn't change from stock. The advantages are that you can use more readily available 2.5" ID springs, adjust ride height (could help handling), and can adjust camber and toe with a more robust adjustment than just toe bolts.

I run them on my autox car only because the rules for my class don't allow for running a true coilover in the rear.

Cheers for that,

Bump for a problem.

I just installed mine. When I go into any driveway I 3 wheel essentially, and you can hear the spring "pop" like it's going to pop out.

This normal?

Oh, and how much of a bitch is it for you guys to move the perch up and down with load? (Hell, even without the load of the car, just the "preload")

7" spring. 8k

Bump

No one likes you anymore...

I'm going out on a limb here. No. Wish I could be of more help :tiphat:

When I installed mine I had the pop the first time I tried pulling out of my driveway. Scared the sh!t out of me. After that it never happened again. All I could ever figure was one of the springs wasn't seated properly on the top mounting surface. Maybe try rotating the springs 90°. Also, does disconnecting the rear sway bar help at all?

As far as adjustment goes there's no way in hell I can move the perch without removing the spring but then again I'm also running 900 lb/in springs on mine. I would think with a softer spring and the rear of the car off the ground you should be able to adjust them though.

I'll try rotating them, but it shouldn't make a difference, they're flat on both sides.
I have no rear sway bar.

And that's what I said, BULLSHÍT a human can move the perch... I called SPL they guy said you should be able to, it won't be easy, but it's doable... I couldn't move it worth a damn, lol

Could you potentially post a pic of your setup? One side with like your cell phone under the car is fine. Just trying to see if my setup looks way the hell off...


Thanks in advance :tiphat:

Well, you're pretty scrawny, IINM.

Helper spring FTW...

At his size you don't have to pump iron...just sayin! :D

Here you go. The reason I suggested rotating the springs was as you can see in my pics, the spring is not compressed perfectly up and down. The thought was maybe the way the spring was compressing two of the coils were coming together.

Another thought, is there any chance your shocks are binding somewhere through their stroke? I know my shocks have a spherical upper mount to help them articulate better. Maybe yours are just sticking and the pop is when they release.

By the way you owe me one now. Laying on a cold concrete floor in ~20° weather sucks.
