rosa2 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Hi, I have just had my coilovers from our trusty guys at UPS. And I'm so excited! But I have noticed that they Are a different design to the ones I had a year ago! As most would already know you have a adjuster on the shock that adjusts the hight of the car and how the spring sits. The new ones do but the bottom mount also adjusts. Is this for ride hight? As I don't know witch one to adjust. Thanks! If you want picky I will one but on phone ATM. Ta guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Pics needed I think. The fronts have the adjuster - and spring - over the shock but the rear has an adjuster on the spring mount - you're not mixing the two up are you? There's no 'mount' at the bottom of the front shocks, just holes for bolting to the hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I think you mean the locking collars.The top ring adjusts height and the bottom screws the other way it locks the top one in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Yeah I wondered if that was it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosa2 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Right, so I last got some coil-overs and adjusters for a Arosa and they looked like this...Now my new ones look like this....The new rear adjusters dont have a bolt in the bottom ether..

Koop Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 See what you mean, that's odd! Can only assume it's for an extra bit of height adjustment without having to further compress the spring, nice idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TArosa Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 looks good, but cant imagine that would be good for the driveshaft if your running it low on both adjusters :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiiTCH-TDi Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Must be a new design never seen ta's like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosa2 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Yah, I thought it was a bit wearied! I couldn't decide what to adjust! But I have both all the way down and drives fine. Thanks, just thought I'd let you know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
