Nm35 Bc Br Coilover Setup

[Daleo]

lol nah she spent $1k on me i think thats enough.

ill do sway bars eventually but as ive made a dramatic improvement over the previous suspension ive had, i think ill just get used to these first..

Lol dude, was just stirring; anytime you're ready. They'll make a nice amount of difference, especially since your shocks were fairly stuffed to begin with.

Dale, you can't stir Aaron any more.... he's too sensitive

[Sunkist]

your a broad minded person cam lol

A stupid ruse don't believe this Viking and his beard

[iamhe77]

Sensitive to my ruse much?

[Sunkist]

wayy to low.

So is it 2x3mm washers that are required on each coilover? Does it matter what they are made of?

[zei20l]

metal would be ideal

i think i have 2x2mm washers in mine. i dont remember them being 3mm thick

Sorry I should really keep all of the questions/info here.. What is involved with the rear spring removal in the M35? can you just take the outer bolt out of the "lower spring mount" and that is enough to drop the spring out or is there more to it?

As Dale once said..

To remove the STD rear spring it is easier to undo the inner mount for the lower arm (one with the spring seat) and lower the whole arm supported with a jack. Mark the eccentric bolt on the lower arm before removal. You'll be aligning once you're done; but at least you're no worse off. The STD spring is very long and you won't be able to swing the arm far enough down to remove the spring from the seat.

I thought you said you'd sussed it out already

I have a tendency to speed read.

Is anyone finding that they need to set the rear passenger spring lower than the drivers rear to get the back of the car level?

I'm using Tanabe and the rear passenger side needs the spring adjusted lower to try and level the car out. Now it's to the point where I lower the rear passenger but when the car has settled it hasn't changed the height of the car. I'm lost as I can't work out why that corner won't come down even though I'm lowering the spring.

Have you loosened all the control arm mounting points to release the tension on the bushes? This can limit adjustment. You'll need to have the car on ramps so everything is loaded and at ride height.

Also, check the springs to see if they're marked left/right or nearside/farside. I wouldn't expect that, but you never know...

[zei20l]

make sure the bottom of the spring is correctly seated in the land. the rubber will have allowance for the spring end to sit into.

While we're at it, on the BC BR's, what length did you make the rear strut Dale? I'm pretty sure my "fork leg" is wound the entire way in on both sides. Is this a problem?

[scotty nm35]

In or out? I had mine out a fair bit and hit the stops a few times, ended up winding them right in.

[jasevr4]

Wound them in, so they are shorter rather than longer.

[slippylotion]

Thanks guys. I'll pull them back out next week and check

It all.
