Coilovers uneven height problem

[teggy]

hi guys, atm im running buddyclub N+

At my rears, they are a pain in the ass to adjust height. i wont be able to adjust them anytime soon but just wondering what are the problems that could occur with one rear height being higher than the other? (15mm) =S

not installed correctly!
Seized shock

What ??

Theres no problem with driving with one higher than the other, only thing I could think of is 1 coilover would have more pressure on it than the other which over a long period of time would wear out quicker than other?

its not that big of a job dude would take you tops 15mins to adjust one.

rear N+ has to be taken out to be adjjusted.

balance and alignment of the car will out.

basicly it wil just drive poorly untill its fixed.
other then that its fine really

Just to let you know. The chasis of the DC5 has imperfections and even with my car, there height of the coilovers were measured percisely before being put on the car, however the height of the chasis clearly showed there was a different in height from the ground. Just make sure when you that you remeasure the height from the ground to chasis, and not leave it at coilover distance alone.

This doesnt sound right.. What do you do then with new springs and shocks "no way of adjustment"??
Sounds like cheap coilover's..

Either they werent installed right.
Or somthings up

This is not true.

I have adjusted my coilover height numerous of times with coilovers still fully installed in car. Car jacked up with wheels off.

This is how my EP3 is. First lowered the car by counting the threads and then noticed it was noticeably lower on one side. Have since adjusted.

Edit: This was rears only. Fronts are fine.

if u have buddyclub n+ 's installed on ur rear dc5. its a pain in the ass adjusting height. the collar is located inside where the spring sits. its not the same like other coilovers where there are 3 collars located underneath the spring.

this is how it looks like when adjusting without spring for rear

uneven camber, uneven tyre wear, worse fuel economy, worse ride, decreased cornering performance, less grip

this goes on at the front of my car, i'm running n+ as well, and there is about 10mm difference in coilover hight, but ride hight, measured to gaurd is spot on

I would not be surprised if the springs were different lengths and/or rates.
