Coil Overs

[Black96SVT]

Does anyone have pics of their coil over set ups? I am converting to coil overs (have UPR Coil Over Kit) and was wondering how it looks at the shock tower with the CC plates?

What are you concerned about? The way it all goes together? Just wondering.

i am confused to where the 2 blue pieces go, if they are under the shock tower or above it some how

they go under it the one bigger piece goes ontop of the spring then you have a race a bearing another race and then the other smaller blue piece on top of that

Not to hijack the thread or state the obvious, but 01lowboy you cant run your strut bar with the turbo setup can you..?

More on track, whats to gain from coil kits, I'm not too familliar with them really, improved handling?

Yeah what he said it all goes in the same order of the pic. Don't forget the little freakin bearings that go between the 2 blue pieces. Also use your spaces or it'll sound like crap. I was missing 1 spacer and it sounded like crap all fixed once I added the spacer.

Correct. Had to take it off cause it wont fit with that charge pipe that runs to the throttle body.

I heard the UPR Coil Overs were clunky and rattle.
Are they really that bad?

They don't bother me any. And i drive over some relatively bumpy roads very often.

 

[Black96SVT]

yeah the noise wont bother me any, i am used to having a noisy car, some more noise wont bother me, girlfriend will probably bitch and moan though haha

I think they are all clunky. I know my MMR's are clunky but yeah they don't bother me at all.

I had coil overs on my 96 and got rid of them [waste of money]coilovers with tubular arms were making crazy noises on every little bump on the road.I went back to stock set up and it works perfect.
