Regarding supporting parts for coilovers

[shogun32]

your plates may have shifted. You should be able to feel/see rubbing. Go back and get like a 1.8F/1.3R camber.

Do you need bolts when installing new coilovers / shocks :? I think the stock bolts are 1 time use ? So at least buy new bolts I guess ?

Its a good idea to use new main bolts to the spindle, and I’d say its a must if your coilovers are slotted where they bolt to the spindle.

The top bolts to the engine bay don’t need very much torque, so they’re probably fine if you need to reuse those.

Yeah top bolts are fine I'm talking about main bolts. What about the back do I need any new hardware there ? I'm asking because getting hardware in my country takes like 2 weeks or so :(

CJPP sells a box of hardware that has every suspension-related bolt in it.

I don’t remember replacing any hardware in the rear suspension.

Very good ride on my Bilstein b16 and you can get them for around $1600 at Rockauto. However you’ll also need to buy separate camber plates, if you want.

What camber plates work with the B16? Steeda says their plates will not, but don't say why.

If you lower the car 2 inches it's gonna handle like CRAP. That's just the reality. If you want it for looks then go for it.

Shank adapters. Or lack thereof. Check with mmr and j&m. Vorslag has a solution but expensive

 

[aleccolin]

So is the B6 strut rod too small? I can machine a bushing if that's all it is. I'll hit up J&M to see what they have.

Actually, from looking at pictures it appears the threads may not be long enough for the spherical bearing used in the Steeda camber plates. Hmm.

 

[shogun32]

You can make a long nut too that double duty as adapter

Yes. I would be happy so long as the performance equals my stock pp. I've never been on a track. I'm not sure where one is even in Oklahoma. I think there's one up Tulsa way. Not around me though. This car is just my daily.

Hallett.

Exactly. Who really cares about what dampers you have at that point. Just take the stock coil to a chop saw and get whatever ride height you want. No need to pay extra to F up the handling of your car when you can do it old-school for free. It'll be sh!t, either way.
