Schiffy Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 So I've got the front end torn apart and ready to reinstall the Coilovers, the sleeve does not fit completely over the base of the strut mount. Is this normal? I thought it was supposed to slide over the mounting point. Help! Car is part... Reply or text me! lol... 7575772839 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildWillyWalker Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Ohboy, good thing you changed those out. I'vebeen riding around with a broken spring on my Contour for a while. Looking good now man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 When I pulled my stock front springs, both had a coil or more snapped off. The design of the lower control arm plus that isolator equals lots of rust on the bottom of the spring and eventually it breaks off. My stance was a damn mess on the factory springs (that was a LONG time ago), one side of the front was lower than the other, and the rear springs were sagged badly causing it to sit much lower in the rear than the front, so it had the "cali lean" big time. I was ashamed to even drive it until I got the Eibachs on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRoush Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 what spring rate are you running on the coilovers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schiffy Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I got out there today and cut a coil off the rear then adjusted the fronts to be more manageable while driving. Springs are 14"/175. Gonna drive it around and make sure the rears settle ok, and I have acquired some new shoes, so when I get them this week, I'll see how the car sits with them. Any pounding or rolling to fit 315's in the back? I fit them on my '95 that was lower than this one without any issues. I did yank the quad shocks off today while I was under it.

64bit_Tuning Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 The wheel well has a pinch weld near the inner rear edge of the tire. it needs to be folded over towards the center of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schiffy Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 The wheel well has a pinch weld near the inner rear edge of the tire. it needs to be folded over towards the center of the car.The wheel well has been rolled, would that have taken care of the pinch? If not ill go out there tomorrow and do it. I'm not sure of the back spacing, but I'm wondering if it will rub my tailpipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64bit_Tuning Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 A 30 second search would have produced an answer. Not to mention that you could've figured it out after mounting them.But I guess some people just need to be spoon-fed their info.Give a man a fish, something something.

330CubeGt Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I run into this issue all the time with the upr kits. I always end up grinding the colar down where the piston enters the strut. Its pretty annoying to spend cash on your car and its said to be a direct fit and there is still a fitment issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
