Coils install problem

jbertino · 07-07-2014, 11:15 AM

So I installed my coilovers l ast night and everything went smooth besides the fact that the oem strut brace hits the damping adjustment on my coilover.

You may want to look into getting the 1M strut tower brace.

But has anyone else ran in to those problems. Or did I install something wrong . Which I doubt I don't see how I can make the coilover sit higher in the engine bay

Temporary fix is to just use some washers and a longer bolt and raise up the OEM strut tower bar.

AST rebound adjusters are huge. I can see this being completely possible.

Yea I have broadway statics .. I just removed the knob and it allowed to strut brace to go all the way down . Only thing is I need to take the brace off to adjust damping now

Oh for some reason I thought you had ASTs. Terrible reading comprehension.

Anyways, I have to unbolt my strut brace to adjust my rebound on my Koni's

Those strut brace don't do any much anyway. Just remove them
