rear adjustable springs

[Dan850r]

So i got my spring mounts from tki in america yesterday, and called in at demon tweeks while at work to pick up the springs and threaded adjuster. Went with 8" 275lb springs as ive removed alot of weight from the back, will need helper springs as when its jacked up the springs dislocate from the lower platform.

But so far so good, can lower it from stock around 50mm-60mm and go lower still with a shorter spring but may run into the damper bottoming out, my main goal was to have it adjustable for track days

The before pic is with 30mm eibachs fitted, the after pic could go about 10mm lower with 8" springs

so was it only the bottom spring seat that you didn't get from Demon Tweeks, if so any chance of the part numbers for the top mount/adjuster & springs please because i think i might have to copy you to get mine lower

[Dan850r]

No was the top part, http://www.tkimotorsport.com/870-rear-spring-perch. I had to have them machined slighty to get them to fit the threaded part, i should have the other bits tomorrow and have them fitted so will let you know how they are. Theres a bit of fabrication and cutting involved to get them to fit, no cutting on the car tho, and you might need different spring ratios and lengths

many thanks, i'm tempted to try the threaded adjuster & just get it welded straight onto the spring mount/chassis

[Dan850r]

Thats one option lol
