Problem adjusting X/A coilovers

After reading the install instructions, I am a little confused why we are discussing cutting holes in the trunk as if the adjuster is top mounted (like the fronts) when the rear adjusters come out through the side of the strut mount housing???


JusticePete - any other words of advice when I get around to installing these? I have seen the thread about bushing timing. I would like to try to keep the same drop that I have now, but as far as where to start with the damping settings, I have no clue. The car is not a daily driver.

The adjustment on Pedders rear 5th Gen coilovers in on the side and not on the top so a hole in the trunk is not the answer.

Thanks Pete. I did already have that from your website, but didn't notice the settings listed on the first page (doh).

Can't wait to get them on and see how they feel

Thanx for the info, I will try to get this taken care of the next time I come in from work. I'd like to find a way to get them adjusted without getting on the ground as sometime I have good clothes on when I want to play and like it happened at Fest 3 in Indiana it rained.

No worries. Rob will do it.

[Rob@WretchedMS]

does that mean i'd actually have to do something?

I could offer to pay a kid if there's one around but they'd probably want $10 You gotta be kidding me!

I just don't understand why the drivers side is so easy but the bitch side , well it's just a bitch, maybe the wire was too long felt like I had to pull it away from something under the car that it was touching against. I just need to get under there and look and learn some more. I haven't even touched the adjustments to the sway bars yet, I find it's awesome like it is. It's so much better than before, especially on the full throttle upshift since it shifts really hard. It freaked me out the first time I heard the differential working.The bad thing right now is it broke on fully stiff so I'm riding around like that and Louisiana roads are notoriously sucky.

well I got that problem taken care of, and I trimmed 1/2" off the adjustment extender and it's easier to grab now. It looks like it was rubbing on the upper control arm. I just took the extender adapter off the strut, the set screw was still tight, so I had to loosen it re install the extender tighten it up and put the adapter back on, done.
