CX Racing coilovers?

[FourEyes]

How is the ride height adjusted once the coils are installed? I bought these and holding them in my hand, I still don't understand how the height can possibly be adjusted since the bottom collar is what gets adjusted?

see below

Pro tip:

If you're taking the bracket off the hub each time to raise and lower the car, you don't have to. Simply unlock the bracket locking collar and use the spring locking collars to spin the strut body in the bracket. Just make sure the spring collars are tightly locked before using them to turn the body.

I got my car with raceland ultimo's which are decent, but man do these things look good. 32 way dampening? I had 6 way on my FK's on my old 337. The colors of these are great, too.

What's the cheapest place to get them? Does eBay still sell them for ~$550?

[PKstrategy]

I believe it's now just around $600 shipped.

[L. Fopps]

Yup 590 shipped

[X37]

One more question... Since there obviously no allen key in the top of the front struts to keep them from turning while tightening the nut, how do you tighten down the top mounts?

I don't have these yet, but give me a week. Anyways I would assume with an impact gun, that's how I've always done it will coils, Allen key or not. Not do-able in this application?

I had vmaxx's on my car when I first bought it because I was on a budget. Now I bought H&R ultralows about a month ago. In all seriousness save your money and buy expensive coilovers. My car rides so nice its so awesome to hit a bump being a little above an inch off the ground and having no hop at all . Spend the money the first time and have it done with

Is there any way to tighten the top mount other than an impact gun?

I'm curious about this as well.. I have a feeling mine isn't tight enough. I did it by having a friend clamp an oil filter wrench on the strut cap while I tightened the bolt as hard as I could get it against the cap. But it didn't work as well as I'd hoped it would work. Better than nothing and it's lasted 6 months or so though.

[PKstrategy]

you mean the front struts?
impact is fine, but normally u gotta use this special tool from GAP.

yea but since these are dampening adjustable the allen key that would typically hold it in place, is non existent, thats the dampening adjustment spot. Im gonna try the impact gun I guess or hold the strut with a strap wrench.

[PKstrategy]

zip them bitches on already, man.

I wish I could. Im stuck doing the same thing as you... Working 7-7 in the city.

[Project Mayhem]

A ton of adjustability! Can't wait to throw these on!

Well, I'm pretty close to biting the bullet on this and buying these.
Lot's of good feedback here.
Would someone consider these for a daily?

sucks more to me because yesterday I decided I was going to hold off on em for a while longer while I focus on the GTI. true test of patience? must...haz....lowwwww......nao

[wolfyy98]

hey PK, don't be afraid to send them an email and ask kindly to adjust the price to what it was. If they say no, give them some bs excuse, i bet they'll lower it. And if they don't, then bite the bullet.

[PKstrategy]

Hey man, yeah i will at least do that.
But I've got a waiting period as it is anyway.
Let's see what happens.

This thread needs moar pics of ppl who are dumped on these!

[jbigs268]

Need to buy them myself, the JOMs are getting noisy out back

This is 2.0_nicks car, coils have wayyy more room to go down, they will lay frame lol.

[L. Fopps]

As soon as i get mine all finished up there shall be moar pictures. I have to get my rear in right.
I ran into the same issue as everyone else as with the top threads on the rear not being long enough. Can anyone tell me how they got theirs in? Any parts they didn't use or used substitute parts? Also, these didn't come with the metal dowel that sits in the bushing, Do they not need them or do you reuse your old ones?

[Big Cojones]

Here is a crappy Blackberry pic of mine.



I am lower than a 60/40 kit but not as dumped as most on this forum. I thought I had the Drift setup but I looked at the box recently and its the 8k/6k setup. I drives great. I have my dampening set to 10clicks in the front and 14 in the rear. I am going to go lower after I throw my Longbeaches on.

how'd you get the rear in? did you leave any parts out or substitute anything that they gave you with anything else, or have to use anything extra?
