#3179, "KYB AGX/Weapon-r 2 questions?"


          

First off i bought weapon-r super tuner coilovers from someone new, and i'm not sure what ones are the front and rear. They are marked st400 and st500. Also can someone show me what it looks like when you grind the perch off. The sleeve fore the coilovers doesn't go past the weld on the perch so does this mean i can't go lower than stock height? If so i'm gonna sell these and get new ones.

Just so you know 500 = 500 pound spring rate, 400 = 400 pound spring rate. The 500s go up front cause of the weight of the engine. You usually have to grind off the spring perch. But having experienced coilovers - I would say don't use em. Those spring rates are the same that I have and the car bounces a ton - granted I am running on blown shocks but those spring rates are way too high.


2003 VW GTI 1.8t.. I used to have a 95 Eclipse but well...water sucks.

Yeah i've heard they bounce alot. I was thinking today about selling them and getting springs or something, cuz i really don't wanna mess with my shocks. What are the coilover you can use without grinding the perch? Ground control?
