anyone with coilovers reversed the perch in the rear??? i can see its welded so i didnt reverse it i put my coils back on and now all i hear is like rubbing really loud rubbing

 

anyone???

 

bump

 

not really sure what you mean by reversed it: like installed it incorrectly?

 

well some people reverse the spring perch to put sleve type coilovers on the car the kyb's have a lip part like stock ones but that is welded usually you can knock the stock one off and reverse the perch just wondered if anyone did that or just set the sleve of the coilover in the perch

 

for the koni yellows, the perches are separate so they can be flipped easily. i dont see a point in that for coilovers though since the actual spring doesn't sit on the perch. also, when i flipped the perches, it interfered with my rear brakeline, so my brakes were slightly engaged the whole time, so i had to flip them back. i don't think it would be worth it to cut them on your struts, if anything, it would give it more clearance to crank it down more. i had agx's too at first and i don't remember any problems besides bottoming out.

 

for the rears did you just sit the sleve in the perch with the kyb's?

 

ya, they fit pretty snug. when u put you coilovers back in, did you put those rubber rings in too? that prevents your sleeve from bouncing around. mine broke on one side, so i had to zip tie it, otherwise it makes a knocking sound everytime i hit a bump.

 

yah i got the o-rings in stupid sunks !! after i get my recon back on with the springs

 

got the upper rubber lubed its all good now no squeaking
