I'm at 16 in the rear and have at most a 1/4 inch gap, mine would be tucking too at 7.

Makes sense now. I was looking at another members setup and how many threads they had left. Did a little more, but I need to bring up the rear and drop the front more...

Surprisingly, no issue driving to work this morning. No rubbing at all!

Here is the out-of-box height with shots taken at wheel level on stock wheels. There is a slight shadow cast by the fenders onto the tires but the wheels are not tucking into the fenders.

Looks nice! My Coilovers in the box were all mess and not really set to any position :-/

Guess I need to keep adjusting them to find the sweet spot!

Finally re-adjusted mine. 0 threads left in the front (maybe a half turn more I could go) and 13 left in the rear... Loving it now!

anyone have pics of the st coilovers maxed out and dropped as much as possible?

continuecrushing · 01-22-2014, 11:27 PM

Does anyone have issues with the tire rubbing on the plastic fender liner under the fender?

Mine isn't an issue per say, but under certain cornering(sharp right hand turn transitioning from downhill to uphill) under full compression it rubs. I'm also running 245/40/18 tires, which are taller than stock

Mine have about a 3/4 turn left in the front. The rears, when I first installed them, had 7 threads left and it was low. I was tucking most of the tire. If I went max in the rear, I'd be scrapping my Perrin exhaust on everything (the pipe that extends down and into the muffler)...

I haven't rubbed at all, but I'm only running 225/40-18 all around. Full turn left and right... no issues...

So out of the box are these preset to about a 1.5" drop? That's kinda what it looks like to me, since the Eibach Sportline lowering springs are 1.4" and these look to be about the same drop. Also, general n00b question: How do you adjust the height of these?

*LongFella · 01-29-2014, 06:10 PM

I don't think they "pre-set" height, so I wouldn't be comfortable saying what height it was at out of the box. Plus, mine were all lose and packed bad (enough to where I had replacement springs sent to me because of chipping)...

There's a little screw in the lower collar you loosen and just turn it to adjust height. Lower the collar, the lower the ride height. Higher the collar, the higher the ride higher. Tighten the little alan screw once set at about 1.5 ft/lbs (per instructions)...

I adjusted mine several times to find the look I was going for. I didn't even take the rim off when doing the adjustments... just jacked up the car and followed the above steps...
