bernymac Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Hi Guys. So ive only had my zed a month and it has tein coilovers on and is very low. So low that any bump, speed hump its scrapes the exhaust. It has a new full system on not standard. Anyway because of this my exhaust has started to rattle so i went to the garage and it was so low they couldnt even get it on the ramp. NICE!!!!! So have it booked into a garage this weekend to get the suspension higher, how high would people recommend to go so its not so inpractical. i think i can raise it 40mm doing some research but still not sure? Any help would be great!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
introspect Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 If you've got Tein coilovers then you can adjust them yourself pretty easily I would have thought. Did you get a set of C spanners with the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sasha@lazytrips Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Needs lowering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
introspect Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Can't really tell how low it is at the moment from those pics. I think it's just a case of trial and error with the height. As long as it doesn't look like it's on stilts you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Chris Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I had a similar problem with my KWs. If you are only having a little scraping then go for 1 or2 cm raised only. you won't like it if your car looks like it is on stilts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriank Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 You guys worry too much about a little bit of scraping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Doesn't look that low in the pics..... Doesn't look like it's been lowered 40mm so (maybe 25-30) so if you raise it more than that - if you have to at all.... expect everyone from small children to old ladies to point and laugh.

andlid Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 want to trade the springs / coilovers to standard JDM setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookiemonster Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 looks good too me! Could always put some cotton wool on the underside of the exhaust Which Tein setup is it? Superstreet etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say 15-20 at most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
