coilover problems

[mk3<3]

i have some megan tracks that i cant seem to adjust in the bak...the fron has a nice drop but the back doesnt seem to go to low? i wanna know how exactly to adjust the bak coilovers so i can have a nice even drop?

if you have maxed out the collars in the rear then that is as low as they go and in order to level the car you need to raise the front. However the Megans can lower the car alot more than you should. How are you lowering the springs, with the spring collar or with the lower threaded portion?

I notticed the same thing. The megans I have lowered the car A LOT (so much that I had to raise them all the way up to even begin driving) and the rears arent low at all...just something weird I guess. But I love my coilovers!

so its normal for the rear to sit a little higher then the front with the megans?

Could you post some pictures of how your car sits, and what your coils look like, at that ride height? IE, if your collars are maxed, you have the shock all the way up, whatever.

Several coilovers for the MKIII have the same problem. They just manufacture the rear shocks too long... my Stances maxed low in the rear are still pretty high.

I have the same problem as carfreak70852 my coilsovers are on the highest setting in the front but the car is lower then i wanted in the front, backs are fine. Is there any way of getting the front any higher. Anyone now what the minimum number of threads in collar should be to get the coilover to the highest setting?
