Lowering HKS coilovers in the front...how much and is it possible

[02SilverSiHB]

I don't know what more tondo

All I'm saying is most of the coils I've see for this car have pretty much the same adjustment as these.

Yeah not these or kw from the look of it
See below


Now bc or tein I believe they do...or revel they do adjust at the bottom (had those before)

I guess I'm missing the point you're trying to make and I'm not trying to argue with you about it...but trying to understand.

Isn't your height adjusted by loosening this thin gold locking ring so you can adjust the thicker gold ring to set the height...then lock the locking ring back in place

Aren't BC and Revel on the low end side when it comes to coilovers? When KW and HKS are on the higher end of the scale before you spend $4k+

Yeah. Revel was pretty crappy. I thought they were okay at first but after while I ditched them.

From what I hear, KW is better than hks

Yeah we all ended up saying that's the only way...in previous posts. I was used to how revel, etc adjust for height.

Long story short but I posted earlier that I can only go down like .7 inch more to avoid any issues with the shock

Got it...I'm sure they were designed with proper clearances in mind. Its seems alot of the more expensive systems use this design, but I'm no expert. Enjoy them.

Here's what u had expected...my issue was I was worried I would mess up the shock of I went to low with these hks Coilovers.

I'm used to see adjustable heigh coils like this

This whole part circled moves on revel...allowing adjustment of the height without adjust the top

Yeah they probably figure if you wanted to go any lower you should have a type r lol

What was your initial drop in height and total over drop from stock?

Not sure with hks...I'd say maybe close to prokit...but made a tad higher

Like @18RRtypeR said, at the bottom of the spring, there are 2 gold rings: a big one where the spring sits on and the small one right under. There should be 2 wrenches provided for each one. To lower it another 10mm, you turn the smaller ring first and rotate it so it goes down 10mm, then turn the upper bigger ring down until it touches the smaller ring and lock it in place. That’s how I adjusted the height for all coilovers I had in the past. The HKS looks like it’s designed the same.

The Revel and KW have the same design. Just trying to help. LOL.

Omfg. Dude revel turns at the bottom where it bolts into the chassis. Jesus omg lmao I don't what to do to prove it to you. I've owned both revel and hks. They are NOT the same for adjustment.

See this vid... this is how revel is adjusted. Go to 2:50 HKS does not have this...please for the love God tell me you guys get it now lmao

 

[02SilverSiHB]

My last attempt for those that don't get. HKS is partially threaded. Coilovers like Revel are fully threaded and is different for adjusting height. Go to 5 secs to see
