So, on my '95 coupe I've got Tein Super Streets.
The right rear spring keeps slipping off the adjuster, then the car sags back there.
Got the coilovers off a friend when he upgraded to ASTs. I had worn out stock suspension and wanted to get a bit lower as the car is on 18" CSL reps. Got the Teins for a great dealio, and the car handles much better, except for this problem.
I'm getting tired of sweating it out in triple digit temps w/out AC in the beater e28.
What I'm thinking, the adjuster only contacts the spring on about half of the coil's surface. The other side is the same, and I've had no problem from it.
So I'm seriously WTFing here.
Pretty much I'm thinking of having a plate made that has a hole in the middle for the adjuster to go through, but the outside diameter is enough for the entire spring to contact it, possibly with a small lip to hold the spring on. Coupled with helper springs, I'm thinking I'll have no problem.
Thoughts from you machining gurus?
