IWSTI Addict since: Nov 2005 Trader Rating: (0) | hey everyone...just looking for some advice. I have the Helix DNA coilovers, and i know the height adjustment is set by the bottom perch, but as far as the upper perch at the bottom of the coil spring you can adjust that aswell. would..i guess..unloading the spring a bit by lowering the top perch and in conjunction soften my dampening work in loosening things up? or are the spring rates the spring rates and i cant do anything about that?! or is the only adjustment the dampening and the springs cannot be adjusted? Just lookin for some answers thanks. Im looking to do this because im going to be doing more mountain/snow driving and such a lowered stiff set up wouldnt be the best. Raising the car back up a bit isnt the issue, just the ride? This ad is not endorsed by this member. Please register or login to hide this ad. |
