please explain.
the picture below is for koni installation. please explain the diagram 1,2,and 3.
i can adjust the height by doing that? cause my driver side is 1/3 of an inch lower than my passenger. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...r/IMG_0144.jpg ---- i just picked up a omni camber kit. guess what kinda of material the flat washer is made of.. ALUMINUM.. after i put a rough surface washer (the one that with "jaws") and tighten it with a little force then it made dents on the surface of the washer. should i just use it as it is or should i replace the washers with steel washers? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...r/IMG_0115.jpg |
personally i'd say to replace it. i was about to get the omni power camber kit however i was sketchey on how well it was made, then somebody on H-T had it and it brake on him. just replace it, it'll cost you $0.20

...
since it's aluminum, it might act like a crush washer or something...idk.
as the diagram, isn't that to adjust the damping of the shock? and when it looks lower on one side, is it on a totally level surface? it might end up like that too because your car isn't the same weight on both sides. |

i have the koni sport(yellow). adjusting the damping = increase or decrease height level of the car? adjusting the perch can't level the height.
this what my car looks like now. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...r/IMG_0107.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...r/IMG_0106.jpg |

what springs are you using?

i'm with H&R sport + koni sport.
do other ppl with the same setup have this problem? what do th damping do? is ground control sleeve any good? i might get that to correct this problem. never get shock & spring combo again. lol |
I don't think the ride height is that bad from the pics. The springs and or shocks/dampers used?
ground control/koni sports = autoX Best bang for the buck. The damper system is for the "harshness" of the ride. Soft to absorb bumps hard to control while driving preference for the street. In a Racing application, there is obviously more than that simple analogy. |
i bough both spring and shocks brand new 2 years ago.
damper = stiff or softness?? after some people told me that uneven height is common for the shocks and spring combon. The height is not the biggest issue for me. the thing that bugs me is whenever i driving at 120km, the car "floats". i will get my omni camber kit install this weekend. do u guys think this will fix my "floating" problem? or the "floating" is because of the uneven height.. |
From what it sounds like, when you hit a bump, your tires are losing some contact with the road. A camber kit may or may not solve it, though, if you ask me. I guess the only way is to get the kit installed and tell us if you notice it still.
You may have said it before but did you get an alignment after you did the suspension? |
yes, i got the alignment done after the installation. i'm suprise not one out there have this experence.
anymore ideas about the "floating"? |
"floating"... are you sure the shocks are not damaged? is there any visable residue on the shocks? This may explain the floating feeling you have. In any regard, if no one can help you here, try going to a specialist... dun dun duuuuunn Gilman. Onyx playa...show this man the light...
