So I installed some JIC's the other day, and I'm having a little issues with the setup of the front coils and hopefully someone can help me with setting these the right way.

So right now, my front tires are inflated to ~33psi however, they appear flat



The rears are all fine but I have no clue what's going on up front. Should I be adjusting the camber plates? I was also reading another thread http://forums.maxima.org/advanced-su...er-brands.html
I was thinking of doing this first since I bought these coilovers used.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

It's probably like that because the sidewalls are soft. That's how mine are too.

 

Plus you have more weight in the front than the rear, it's normal. If the steering is straight in that pic, then your toe looks a little positive.

 

Still need to do an alignment. Trying to get the height I want set first. I read that each time you change the ride height you need to re-align. is this true? Sorry total noob at this, I know when you touch the strut bolts you need to do an alignment

 

Yes, it's true, every angle on the vehicle changes when your lower or raise the vehicle. Don't drive a lot with your toe out, you will destroy inside of your front tires.

 

Thanks for the help, once I get the height I want right I'll take it to the shop to get aligned. I haven't been driving it for that same reason.

 

Not a problem, glad I can help.

 

Just another question, anyone else have any issues with the **** used for dampening? There is like no room in the rear to slide it in the hex hole, and in the front, the drive axle is in the way? anyone else with some experience with this? is there some trick that I don't know about?

 

Well I don't have JIC, but I just saw a picture of them, no idea how that will work, the front shouldn't be a problem.

 

If you have a decent amount of positive camber it'll look like the tire has less air in it.

 

if you can't get the dampener **** to fit you probably installed the coilovers on opposite sides of each other (right side on left. left on right.) Its possible, IDK about JICs but I did that before with my coils on my Camaro. Just an idea.

 

Well JIC is weird, their corners were FH, FL, RH, and RL. I'm assuming the H is supposed to mean Right in some odd way. The drive axle is in the way of getting the **** under there... hmn maybe I'll call JIC and ask them

 

yeah call them they should be able to help
