So here's a lil update. After installing the Ohlins suspension I wasn't happy with the ride height and almost sold it off. I really liked the ride quality of it so I tried to figure out a solution to make it lower. The gap in the rear was so bad it looked almost like factory springs. Anyways I did my research and didn't find anything. I looked around for different camber plates and top hats and ended up with the HVT front adjustable camber plates / Raceseng rear top hats. After playing around with the bearing configurations I got it to work!


This was after the Ohlins was installed.


Another shot of the rear to show how high it really was.



Trying to figure out how this is going to go together. I ended up not using the bearing and silver hat piece from the HVT set up.


I ended up using the bearing that came with the ohlins on top of the ohlins hat instead.


Final set up for the front.



Ohlins rear piece.


I used the thicker bearing from the top portion and brought it down here. Then the spacer from the Raceseng set up placed above that.


This is how much lower it went with the Raceseng rear top hat.


I move the thinner bearing that was on the bottom to the top. Then the black nut above that.


Installed. The front has more room the go lower. Maybe another 1/2 inch to an inch. The rear is maxed out here.


Here's a shot in the day light. I still need to either raise the back up or lower the front a lil more.
