Coilover Suspension

[dwaleke]

Anthony,

Can you confirm if the rear coilover is sitting over shock or spring in the factory location with these?

Found this in the notes for the v3:

02: Front height adjustable by threaded shock bodies. Rear height adjustable by adjustable spring perch.
67: Valving is adjusted by adjustment knobs, rebound is only adjustable if the top of the piston rod is accessible. This will depend on the design of the vehicle.

Not sure where the adjustable spring perch is located though.

It should look like this

How about spring rates?

Nothing, they are very bad with releasing that stuff. I called directly, no pictures either.

We are soon going to be releasing these bad boys...

Great time!

Any of these coil overs offset? I'm looking for something that allows a 19x11 wheel up front, I think the Cortex ones are the only ones that have an offset strut to clear a larger wheel.

Anything with a smaller diameter front spring will increase inboard tire clearance. How much I don't know but M6G member Sock has 18x11 wheels front and rear. Check his thread in the Vendor build thread section.

The spring is not the issue with clearance, the strut body is.

Not true...

In the front my tires are a few mm away from the strut body. Spring perch is higher than the tires.

I've asked this same thing in a couple of the coilover threads now with no response. Silence is usually a good indicator of an answer itself, so I'm guessing it's "no", which means the coilover systems available so far, outside of the cortex, are useless for this specific purpose, unfortunately enough.

Unless one of the coilover manufacturers want to pipe up and give a response to the contrary.
