Adjustable coil over shocks - Rear, Where did you get yours? Options

[Harpo]

Good morning everyone

For those of you with adjustable perches on your rear shocks where did you get them? What size springs did you use?

I know that Paragon has them and Koni shocks are on sale

Thanks

Got mine at Ground Control Systems, Inc.

They are fairly priced and work good. I got the 225 lb springs. Not sure how they are going to work on the street as I got them for AX.

WW914, can you pls do me a favor? I have the same setup from ground control but with 125lbs springs and are trying to dial in the perch setting.

Questions: 1) how long is your spring 2) what position do you have the perch clip and 3) and do you have a pic of your car on the ground respectively how much space to you have between your rubber and body?

Thanks buddy!

1) The # on the spring tells you all you need to know: 1000 = 10 in, 250 = 2.5 id, 0225 = 225 lbs spring rate

2) They are on the 6th clip position from the bottom. You can count them in the photo. Edit: The above photo is not where they sit now. I will post some pics later.

3) I will take some photos today and get some measurements from the tire to the fender, inside and out, when I get done rolling the fenders a little more today.

I had the car corner balanced yesterday, so as soon as I do the above I will get back to you. That should give you a pretty good idea.

Here is the clearance inside the fender. The coilover is on the 4th perch.


Here is the clearance after I rolled the fender. In this shot I could barely get one finger in between, so I pushed the fender out about a 1/4" with a jack.


Here is the way the car sits. The measurement from the middle of the fender to the ground is 207/8" in the rear, 2211/16" in the front. EDIT: I forgot to mention that the wheels are Revolution 7x15s and the tires are Hoosier A6 205x15x50ZR, with a 1/4 in spacer. I run Falken 205x15x55 and 195x15x55 on 5.5 Fuchs on the street. The street setup did not need rolled fenders. It was just the wider track A6s that needed the mods.

Hey 914 convert, what size tires and wheels are you running front & rear?
