    Is this too low???

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Installed Koni CO's on today.





    Question for those with experience with Koni's/Stasis.

    How do you adjust the front with the least amount of hassle? I've tried to raise the front with the suspension installed but it's a no go. So, if there's a technique that makes it easy..feel free to let me know

    Re: Is this too low???

    i have konis on my b5 and the fronts you gotta wrench at to raise. ON my b5 i got spring clamps on the springs to take tension off the collar while still on the car and raised the collar a little at a time.other than that i took them back off to make major height adjustments, hour and some change a side not to bad.

    Re: Is this too low???

    there IS such a thing as too low - when ur car rides like ass but you keep convincing yourself it doesnt...then when you actually get around to raise it, realize how dumb you were before going that low (ask me how I know =-)

    Re: Is this too low???

    Your front looks good ,but confirming what I said earlier, I would suggest lowering the rear.

    You're not "too low" until you're lower than me.

    I would bring the rear down half an inch or so though.

    I would probably drop the rear .75-1" maybe even a little bit more. Looks like a '70s muscle car the way it sits right now.

    Re: Is this too low???

    i have stasis ss and after it settled, the front was way too low. tuckin about 2" of tire (winter wheels) looked sick but ride sucked. easiest way to adjust that i've found is take the suspension out and use a coil compressor to adjust. without it is pretty tough. need to relieve some pressure to turn it. rears suck completely. no easy way to do it besides drop the subframe. looks good though but i totally understand why you'd want to bring it back up

    Re: Is this too low???

    OK, I was close to compressing the springs again to take tension off it to adjust the height but didn't want too and know that there could have been better ways.

    Thanks for the compliments, info and constructive criticism guys!!

    I love the front lower than the rear look. If you measure, let me know. How much higher is the rear than the front.

    the fronts are cake to adjust. use the wrench and spin it up or down. the key is to keep those threads clean and lubed up.

    Come on with that. That looks way too low up front. These cars don't look good hammered like that unless you do the hell out of it like captain.
