Well I'm puzzeled. Got these pretty yellow Bilstein Sports. That should go on the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
BUT I am not sure what notch to put the coil plate on. There are six rings on the shock, they came with the clip on the bottom ring. But when the coils go on it is to far to clamp down on them. The coils are 165# progressives. I don't want to do this without consulting the Masters. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif) Also do you need the bump stops? I heard you don't with Bilseins, internal stops I heard. The succession of parts are 1-lower coil plate, 2-the coil, 3-upper coil plate, 4-washer, 5-long bolt, 6-set of bushings, 7- top cap and 8- top nut. The workshop manual shows other idems I don't have. Thanks, Joe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) |

The Bilsteins still use the bump stops. Raise the perch until the spring is slightly compressed.

Raise the perch until the spring is slightly compressed. i disagree with that assesment..... aftermarket springs are inherently shorter... and dont require a spring compressor... even at the second to top perch, my springs still didnt engage the upper hat at full extension |

The perch is still loose on the 4th notch up. The fifth up or 2nd down notch compress the spring enough to keep it in place.
Is the sequence of assembly correct? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) |
