Lowering Rear

[eazi562]

Hmmmm. I can extend the shock as needed to connect to the mounting point, but i want to lower the car further. This is where the problem is. I know there is a way to go about doing it. Plenty guys run Broadway Static coils and there cars are much lower than mine. These are quality hand made here in the states custom valving and spring lengths. Designed to pretty much lay frame and still have a descent ride quality.

Those aren't made in the states. lol. "Fortune auto"

The length of the shock doesn't affect ride height.. you could ditch the adjuster perch.

Ahhh you are correct. Broadway Static is an American company, they take Fortun Auto's dampers and custom valve them. I'm only looking to lower the car another half inch or so with the fitment i have. I'll give that a try and report back soon. Thanks!

lay frame and still have a descent ride quality.

This isn't going to happen. The rear spring locators will hit each other before you even come close to laying frame, and you will have very little available travel. I've designed custom trailing arms with the adjuster(weight jack) sunk into a recessed bucket that allows you to drop the car as far as it is physically able, but it is used in drifting environments where you can get away with little travel and very stiff springs.

Removed the sprinf adjuster and locking ring and was able to reach the desired heigth i was looking for. Perhaps 3 inch springs instead of 4 inch would have made the situation much easier. Thanks for the help!

Also here's a peak of the setup for fun!

OK, why would you buy a car, notorious for it's handling characteristics and then straight up fuck it up by lowering too far on shit products. You might as well have bought a Ford Mondeo. Your sway bar end links are doing more harm than good. Your CVs are at an incorrect angle and now too long for the application and will be binding as you "drive" your car. Your front control arms will be at at upwards angle causing the car to bumper steer more easily than it is to get your mother into bed. Dude, you are fucking up a good car. wtf
If you need to be this low for shows, air bad your shit, otherwise you are a hazard and danger to other on the road.

all I can say is, lol
