Right now, I have Ground Control coilovers which are height adjustable of course... But the height adjustment also affects the shock stroke as well...

Are there any coilover manufacturers who have a dual adjustment whereby one adjuster alters the height of the shock stroke travel and the other adjuster would strictly control the mounting height of the entire suspension assembly >> controlling height without altering useable suspension travel... ???

I saw an ad in one of the latest import car mags... I think the name was "NEX" but I'm not sure...


I am thinking I want to stiffen my suspension more and I want to get more travel as well... but cosmetically, I like the look of my car now... I can't just lower the car and then loosen the struts because then the spring damping won't be sufficient..

Anybody got any ideas? Thanks...

Try Cattman's

- I'm not sure, but the Cattman Performance Coilovers seem to be two-way adjustable. They also come with adjustable front camber plates. Their price is competitive with some of the better set-ups I've seen ($1500, KYB-AGX shocks, springs, and camber plates). Check out their site at http://www.Cattmanperformance.com

No way, you lower car, you lose piston travel.

May be if you had "custom" short stroke shocks made to fit the max.

Or you raise the top "mounting point" where the camber plates attach to the car.

Either way is a lot of custom fabrication. Trust me, I've looked into it.
