Why would you put a spacer on top of an adjustable coilover?

 

i think it gets stiffer anyways the only thing the spacer does is change shock droop to stuff measurments

 

he's hawaiin

 

Ohh see you left out details.

 

Fat. Deep fried hamburgers are really good!

 

Hit a bird had to tape my grill to get home without it flying off

 

New grill, should I leave it or satoshi it again??

 

FAT is right.

lmao. i’m good i don’t think i will ever be fat.

it was for another thread.

 

that's some mighty strong glue ya got there.

 

If the ride height is the same you haven't changed the preload, if the ride height is higher then you have increased the preload, regardless of how you have done it. Unloaded the bottom of the coilover is a stationary point, you have moved the top of the spring (and increased preload) by moving the top of the coilover down rather than the top of the spring alone. What you have done is change the range of travel of the shock piston in relation to the suspension. And likely outside of the designed range.

This. Your droop is limited by the shock (I believe). By lowering the shock you have increased the potential droop, however if you have stock UCAs you are likely over extending them at droop now causing potential failure.

Here's where the problem is. Yes you have potentially limited your up travel (maybe not depending on how much play the shock is designed with). But you have done this by making the limit the shock rather than the bump stops. This is bad, the shock is not designed for this. One bad pothole/speed bump and you could blow out the shock.

 

Where did you find that I will have to give it a try.

 

Didn't know you got Yuengling out there - That's a Pennsylvania beer. Oldest brewery in the US

 

Tasty stuff.
The brewery is here in San Diego, super cool place. The stone work in the restaurant is something else. Good food, good beer, amazing surroundings.
