I'm suprised he hasn't come in here himself to say so, but matthel is probably slammed close to all the way down on his JICs, it shows in some of the meet pics (look for the blue one in the links on the right side of the page):

i dont think turtle max is slammed all the way, there is still some wheel gap in there and the 17s are slightly cheating.. i am that low on my crappy gcs's.

I loved my JIC's.. Had my ride with no finger gap. Set on 10/9 on the stiffness.. There was absolutely no noise when you turned or went over bumps. Ride was nice and smooth. But since I dropped it soo much and was on a high setting you can feel the bumps. But I like a stiff ride anyways. You can always slam the car and set the settings to like 7/7 which is average..

The car can probably go down another 2" to 2.5", but then the camber plate would be riding on the bump stops.


1 Asian finger gap in the front
0 finger gap in the rear

No noise at all, you will need to preload to springs as mentioned... just don't preload it too much.

Stiff at 10/10. That setting is not for the faint of heart.

Yes, rough over minor bumps, but a HUGE difference over bigger bumps. The ride feels almost like stock over big bumps and dips.

ok you explained in the "other" forum how to preload the spring.. can you give a detailed explanation again please

Y2KevSE

iTrader: (13)

From the "other" forum:
"Preload the springs so that they won't move when you push and pull them, but don't preload so much that the springs are seriously compressed."

assuming you adjusted the strut body so the car is at a height you're happy with when lowered.
1) Turn spring perch up until it touches the spring... keep turning until the spring hits the camber plates
2) Keep turning until the spring doesn't move when you give it a good budge. Maybe ~3 full turns or so?
3) Repeat on other side.

Sprint

iTrader: (10)

so you adjust the hight from the lower red adjuster? is it the higher up you adjust the higher the wheel gap gets?

Y2KevSE

iTrader: (13)

Nope... you adjust the height with the strut body. That's because you want to have the most suspension travel as possible. Believe me, you will not need to lower the car via adjusting the spring perch. I even had to raise the car up because I over did the lowering on the strut bodies. If I jack the car up off the ground, the wheel gap is about 2-4 fingers.

The only true way to figure out the height is to test your adjustments.

Sprint

huh? what do you mean ajust via the strut body? where? i am confused now

quick grab matts pic and tell me how real quick

tell me what do i turn to adjust the height

keving beat me too it.

Sprint, you adjust the part that is attached behind the brake with the 2 bolts. Undo those 2 bolts and start spinning that bottom piece around till you get the height you want.

Right below the lower red adjustment thingie.

holy ****.. totally missed that .. i got it the height i like now.. but i wanna know for when i got to raise it back up for the winter

Those are for the rears... but the same can be done to the fronts.

This is why you paid bling bling and waited forever for the coilovers.

Sprint

iTrader: (10)

didn't i just ask you that you doofus.. and you said no?

i said do bring the lower red thing up.. and then screw the bottom to adjust the height.. you said no..

i was asking you if the more you screw the bottom up.. is the higher the car gets

Sprint

iTrader: (10)

don't remind me f a g boy

and now its taking forever to get them the way i want them

Dont listen to keving, he is stupid.

Oh... you confused me.

Think about it this way, the more threads you see, the higher your car will be.

iTrader: (10)

that doesn't make sense q u e e r boy.. are you telling me the more threads you see inbetween the red things is the higher the car will be?

thats BS.. i got tons of space between the red things and my car is 1 finger gap.. so you telling me if i had them closer i would be tucking fenders?

MAXIN

iTrader: (5)

It does make sense, you can have alot of space between the perches and still be dropped pretty low. (but in this case you may have too much preload). Put it this way, once adjust the preload with the first(larger perch) you then lock it in place with the second smaller perch, and you should never really have to touch those again. The lowest perch is what you use to adjust the height.

mad late:

1) 2 finger
2) I get an occasional pop or too but I think its my axles that keep coming loose for some reason. (doing this before the JICs...)
3) If the dips and bumps are deep enough it will kinda bounce, but I think i still need to adjust them. (too lazy)

4) On really hard bumps it doesnt seem to abosrb much. The impact transfers straight into the cabin. But it still maintains control. (again I may need an adjustment.

5) Currently on 13 Front/11 Rear. Its pretty stiff but for some reason its comparable to my old cattmans gen IIs so Im good......

Anyone able to bottom out on the bump stops?

thebigsadler

iTrader: (4)

i will slam mine all the way when they get here this weekend.. as low as they will go, once i figure out all the adjustment factors you will see them bottomed out.

kev, do you have any more pictures of them installed and such?

Re: Security gate at front door...

"In the ghetto
People, don't you understand
the child needs a helping hand
or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
are we too blind to see,
do we simply turn our heads
and look the other way
Well the world turns
and a hungry little boy with a runny nose
plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto
And his hunger burns
so he starts to roam the streets at night
and he learns how to steal
and he learns how to fight
In the ghetto..."








































































P.s. I have one too.

The neighborhood is safe, but extra protection doesn't hurt. The few extra minutes it takes to break the door down will give me enough time to find a bat.
