24995, full coil over with strut body adj? confused? Posted by emc, Aug-18-04 02:25 PM
in looking to go to an aftermarket strut and spring. i was looking at tein then found one with an adjustable body also. whats the benefit of the body adj. just to give full travel to the strut with shorter or longer springs? if point A is the strut tower and B is the lower control arm and you run the spring down then the body up youve changed the distance the strut can travel but not the ride heigth A to B is still the same? if you run them both down equal A to B is now shorter but the travle is the same. whats the benefit wont i still have to correct camber and then theres just another adjustment to make to get it set? i dont plan to change the heigth once i get the car where i want it. slightly lower and level. :wallbash

I can understand why you're confused. You just hurt my brain.
