Dominik

you have to adjust the coilovers...hence them being coilovers...

the rear ef shocks have a spring retainer where the spring sits into you have to cut that piece off in order to lower the collar all the way down hope that helps you

McGann

where the oem spring sits, it looks like a cup. in order to lower the coilovers all the way u need to cut that cup off.

McGann

cut the hole cup off
then wont the sleeve go down to the lower controll arm
Geeze kyle show me when i come over GAH im so confused

stock94block

you just cut the vertical part of the cup

i need to do this but i cant take my shock off..any suggestions? or am i fubard

McGann

Finally i got it!
got an extra inch of lowness!!
thanks for all your input guys



and yes i recomend cuting it off ur car!
take out ur lower arm and strut together
and cut about 3/4 off the cup leaving enough of the cup
there so ur sleve fits down into it still
p.s never can use stock springs again after you cut this!

McGann
