coil over queston.......
« on: June 03, 2008, 08:05:27 AM »

so the rally rabbit iv been working on is runing koni yellow's w/ a set of ground contorls........... only issues the owner is haivng ins hwen he jumps hte car the springs arnt reseating them selves right awya upon landing, alos in realy rutted out corners he has noticed that the springs have a tend to unseat them selvs and make a realy harsh sound when they finly do go back into there seat.

i wonder, does GC offer a "tender spring" set up or,..... "pre-load spring" ........ to help keep the main load spring from being able to not retrun to its proper home?......

or are limiting straps needed to keep ths suspension form being able to drop more than the "un-loaded" lenght of the springs height?

sugest away

...so it's the top that's falling to the side when the shock extends?  Have you tried to put a burly bump stop at the top, that'd help keep it aligned, you might have to affix it to the cap vs on the tube on the bottom...

Or is it the thread shaft slipping and bouncing around too?  Does he have the rubber "o" rings under the thread shaft?

i believe the spring is coming unseated at the top. i put power flfex bump stops on w/ this kit, maybe a wider bump stop would help?....

i fhte car is jakced up and u allow the suspension to go full drop there is a good 3-4" between the spring and the seat. i almsot think the struts need to have a shorter shaft, as thats a lot of wasted space/travle. this iw w/ the spring set baiscly 1/2 way up hte threaded color (car sits a good 1" higher than sock at this setting).

i didnt put in the o-rings as i have had nothing but probelms w/ them causing havic when full of dirt after being dorve on the track, i could toss them in i guess andjsut deal w/ the bs of being super stuck in palce w/ dirt and gunk pounded into them.

i was hoping/thaught that GC would have a universal kit to make there setups work like this w/ the dual spring w/ there 2nd spring dosnt hold car weight jsut acts as a helper to keep the load spring alinged when unloaded and laso keep teh load spring alinged properly during adjusting and sutff, not add any extra laod or anything.
