THE CAR IS ALSO TO FLAT IN THE FRONT AND CAUSE SOMETIMES PROBLEMS. mMY FRONT WHEELS ARE 215 45 17 ON TORQU TRUSTS I CHANGED MY SUPER STOCK SPRINGS AGAINST THE MANCINIS AND NOTHING CHANGED I AM REALY UNHAPPY WITH THIS. PERHAPS SOMEONE CAN GIVE ME A TIP TO REALIGN MY CAR AND ALSO GUIDE ME THE WAY TO. MANY THANKS 1969 BARRACUDA FASTBACK 340  |

It sounds like you mean the driver side spring is tightened more to make the car level left to right? That's common, as one side is typically heavier.
As for the car being "too flat", not sure what you mean?
What problem are you having? Is it a physical problem like tires hitting the fenders or the height is too low? Or is it a handling problem, like an alignment issue?

hi bill but is it ok when passenger side winding of the coilover is screwed to 6 windings and on the other side (and not reached other side level between tire and fender ) 12 windings for my personal perception this create different alignement and therefore steering ( i am right ?) to flat means that my car is to near the ground so about 3 inches between headers and street. perhaps i am completley wrong and i can go and screw the driver side coil over to 20 windings and it fit! please update me on this idea as i am realy unhappy. in case you need fotos for more understanding what i mean i can send. many thanks for your time martin krueger / austria  |

If I understand correctly, it seems that you may just need a heavier rate spring - sounds like the springs are too soft, and nearly compressed with the car too low?

hi bill ! i bought the system from you and therefore relied on your experiance.i looked into my mails and found afco coil overs and you propose a 350 rate.
i know it is not easy to give clear advice but with the current setup i am not happy. please let me know how i find the best way to tune to a good alignement.
many thanks

Ok... You adjust the springs up until your car is at the desired height. Once the car is at the correct height, have a wheel alignment done.
If you can not adjust it high enough, it means the springs are too soft and we need to send you a heavier set of springs.
If possible, can you take a picture of the shock with the car sitting on the ground? A picture will tell me what exactly you have there and I'll know what the problem may be.
