Geting Pro-S to go lower

UltraSi · 06-18-2009, 05:12 PM

I have the problem with my tein basics. My driver side rear is max low and still much higher than the other ones can go. I wonder if I installed it wrong or something.

You could but the spring already has some play when you jack up the car so I would be scared that it would fall out even though I'm sure it's not very likely. With my Buddy Club's I just took out the whole perch so it's just the spring by itself and it sits nice and tight.

I've been contemplating on doing this for awhile on my pro-s, but that's what I'm afraid that happening while I drive, always a chance.

Without the perches there probably is some potential for the springs to fall out if you induce enough body roll under really aggressive cornering, but as long as you refrain from spirited driving or really bumpy roads I think it'd be perfectly safe.

If you go 3 wheel going onto a parking lot or angling your car through a speed bump, the spring might fall out.

that would not be good.
