Tom,

Thanks for the advice on the adjustable coil overs, I have Rebel Racing ones with my Bilstein and they just kind of took a dump on me as far as the alignment of the spring. My car was/is sitting 1 inch higher on the right side. You can see where the spring is wearing on the body of the threaded adjuster You said to machine a couple of the parts like 50 thousandths or else they would fail. My setup with Rebel Racing had nylon parts which seemed to have failed so I'm switching out everything to what you suggested 150 bucks later I should be fine, anyway thanks for the write up on this and the A1 racing lead. My car has less that 1,000 miles on this set up. Very clear to understand with your video and pictures and part numbers. This is why 914world is such a great resource. We have so much in our database
It really helps.


Thanks, Bob B
