Couldnt think of a better topic but basically i will be attempting to lower my coilovers some more, but the grooves are a bit rusty, i wanna have everything i need just incase they dont budge... there is no grease or nothing on em, they are just rusty, my friend was saying a wirebrush may bo the trick, so ill go get that some WD40 and some PB blaster lls ill try get a pic of the coilovers.............

Im pretty sure the rears are no problem but the fronts is what gets me

 

It's just like you friend stated, PB Blaster and a wire brush. Oh, and soak them in PB Blaster for as long as you can; maybe spray some on there once a day for a few days prior.

I am surprised the threaded section is not aluminum.

 

k... will be doing that tomorrow and the day after... going to lower them all the way down in the front and half way in the rears

 

Im having the same problem with one of my rear k sport coilovers.... I used a toothbrush, which helped somewhat to get some crud out, but stoll no luck.

Ill try PB blaster. Get back to us if you find the magic trick

 

what the car looks like as of right now..........................


height is o.k but not where i prefer it

 

for sure

 

I'd start by cleaning them up with some fine steel wool then PB blaster to break em loose then use some wheel bearing grease to help them turn smoothly then wipe it all off and reapply a thin coating to keep them from further corroding.

 

sounds great... only if i can get such grease... any substitute for that???

 

You can get it at Autozone and Advance Auto its pretty common easy to find stuff, just ask they'll know what you're talking about.

K... thx... I didn't kno that

 

I see you liked my rims so much eh?

 

Yup pb blaster, and a brush. After that i would recommend a silicone based grease so you dont have any more corrosion.

The car looks good for a 13.84 car lol!

We will see after my powwwah mods!

 

... i got another look that will make eyes drop on here lls

 

Thank u, u think ur mods will own mines??? goodluck, wish u the best fo real yo

 

Watch out Hustle - I'll see you at Maxus

 

werd.

 

Do you have the tool that came with the coilover to adjust them? That always makes it 100x easier.

Spray wd-40 on them like no other and use the tools. You should be ok.

BTW, car looks great, what rims are those?

 

you can use channel locks but these make it way easier..

 

i will be using the locks, im just worried about it not turning cause its so rusted

 

you should look into getting the threads coated/anodized so you dont have this problem again

 

dont spray... i will be racing at maxus, if all goes well i should have a low 13 possibly 12 sec automagic yes i said it, 12seconds N/A, go ahead laugh now too

Thanks bro, they are the 350z anniversary edition wheels
