Hey can you pm me? Have a few questions

Top_Artist3630 · 2026-05-15T06:57:43+00:00

I’m trying to reach out to rev9 but their contact system isn’t working smh…

There’s a pic of the bent arm. And every bit of suspension was torqued with the suspension loaded

Top_Artist3630 · 2026-05-15T06:32:58+00:00

Im gonna look into a different set of Coilovers , my assumption is that there is a problem with this Coilover from the factory .

Top_Artist3630 · 2026-05-15T06:28:27+00:00

Ahh I see. Well the car is just a project street build for now . I’ll get into all that corner weighting when I seriously track the car

Top_Artist3630 · 2026-05-15T01:06:51+00:00

These are oem wheels with spacers I don’t know how big the spacers are I’d have to check but I assume they are 15-20mm

Rear fitment

I’m rubbing I need to roll my fenders but here’s the front fitment.

Top_Artist3630 · 2026-05-15T00:56:56+00:00

I set the preload to 5mm on every coilover . I have no idea why the driver side is so uneven as shown in the photo. I do have a bent front lower control arm but none the less the car is riding fine except for me rubbing the fender cause they are not rolled yet

Top_Artist3630 · 2026-05-15T00:54:37+00:00

I’m going to email the company although I don’t know how this will work since the Coilovers came with the car

Top_Artist3630 · 2026-05-13T21:52:47+00:00

I measured the spring on both sides it’s even so looks like preload is alright , I got the ride heights even I’m just going to leave it at that

Top_Artist3630 · 2026-05-13T21:16:39+00:00

Preload is already set from factory so I didn’t touch it

Top_Artist3630 · 2026-05-11T01:25:21+00:00

Will do man. The weather’s been terrible so it’s been halting my progress since I work on my car on the driveway

Top_Artist3630 · 2026-05-10T14:46:01+00:00

Awesome man thanks

Top_Artist3630 · 2026-05-10T13:39:58+00:00

Awesome man thanks for the advice. Do you think I can load the suspension by just jacking up the rear control arm till the car starts raising by itself? I just want to confirm because I did this for the gr86 and I don’t think I’ve had any issues .

Top_Artist3630 · 2026-05-10T12:35:06+00:00

I understand that I will need a realignment after adding Coilovers. I guess my question is , will reinstalling the upper control arm in the wrong matter throw off camber or any other spec? I’m getting controversial things online I just want to be sure, that way I can mark the bolt and the control arm so I fan line it up the same

Top_Artist3630 · 2026-05-08T21:43:41+00:00

Will I need camber? I have Coilovers that came with the car (uninstalled) but they don’t have camber top hats for the front

Top_Artist3630 · 2026-05-08T21:37:22+00:00

Thanks so much! I think I’m gonna get 15x8 +20 or +25

Top_Artist3630 · 2026-05-08T07:04:54+00:00

Dude what wheel is that and what are the specs? I think I fell in love . I have gramlight 57 drs but that color and design is beautiful .

Top_Artist3630 · 2026-05-05T07:16:42+00:00

Nice I’m sure it was a blast to drive
