Coilover adjustment
 

I purchased a set of AMS coilovers for my Z32 but ran into a snag while trying to lower the car in the front only. A friend and I tried almost every method thinkable of lowering the car, but whatever we try the ride height stays the same,

My last option is to pay a shop to figure it out, does anyone have suggestions?

You rotate the bottom piece up to lower it thereby shortening it, and vice versa.

Yea we know. And we tried that. The car stays at the same height.
I think i'll have to take it to a shop and see what they can do. Sucks that its installed and now i have to pay for just ride height adjustment.

So the rears lower just fine?

Maybe try telling us what exactly you did, and then we can see if you did it properly.

At this point, with the research I was doing im waiting back on the spec sheet of the coilover itself to see how low it can go. But the rears are fine, can go lower.

Try riding around with the new adjustments as the suspension has to settle? I know after I made adjustments to mine I had to drive around the block and the springs would settle like half an inch.

clean with wire/tooth brush, alot of wd40, hammer and chisel

While we're on the topic of coilovers, do any of you guys apply anti seize compound during the winter months?

WD-40 x 4 bottles? one bottle per side?


LOLLLLLLL
:rofl:

if you still have the problem feel free to drop by the shop, we are more than happy to assist you.

You should always apply antiseize when assembling regardless of season.

I bought some T9 based on a recommendation from another member.

You can buy it from Lee Valley. I have yet to use it but will probably in the next little while.
