DanSN117 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Wassup.Is it possible to order spares for Hicon Coilovers direct from Weitec/KW?The reason being, i've managed to thread the cup that the front spring sits in? The adjustable bit.I was tightening it back up after lowering it a tad and it just spins, i can undo it and get it to come right out of the hole, but when i do it back it it gets quite far in and then just spins, it doesnt tighten.Also, do we think its ok to run for limited mileage without the screw? Ive currently got a large cable tie under it at the moment, so that it wont shift: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be pretty lucky if it did, but it is best to get the damaged collar replaced sooner rather than later.Adjuster collars are available separately for the Weitec Hicon GT's no issues. I shall give them a buzz for you on Monday (once they are back open after the weekend) and get a price!The grub screw in the adjuster collar is not designed to be 'tightened up' as such. It is only meant to be just less than finger tight.Hope this helps,Cheers, Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnp Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) Only 1-2 Nm is said to be the amount of force on the grub screw, a sneeze would be to much. Im sure it will be ok for a limited amount of time.Could use a self taping screw to hold it for the time being if u can get the old 1 out. just nip it up so that it holds it on the shaft Edited February 19, 2010 by Johnp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kam Racing Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) Most sizes and spring rates off the shelf through Eibach so no need to get something custom made... let me know the exact details and I'll find out a price.. think they're about the £50 mark IIRC Edited February 23, 2010 by Kam Racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
