i ordered VMAXX coilovers and would like to get them installed asap. i know i need spacers depending on how low i drop the car because it would begin to rub on the front two coils.

now i need front strut bearing? and rear strut bushings too?

is this all that i need to install them or am i missing something? do you guys have any advice on how to go by installing them? any tips to make it easier, and are there any DIY on vmaxx coils for a R53.

 

you should be alright, depending on how low you go. you might have some issues when you start tucking however. one thing to make sure of is to have the coil turned correctly, or else the brake wear sensor wires or brake cable tab on the shock could cut into your wheel.

The DIY above should give you all the knowledge you need to do the install. Also you won't need to do any drilling since your setup lacks a dampening system.

 

thanks man i hope to have them on this saturday.

 

Post some pics when you are done with the install. I've been waiting to install coils on my coop but I may end up doing them next year after winter passes. Not trying to mess up new suspension with salt and snow.

 

hey well your eventually going to have them during the winter, might as well do it now! lol
so i have it dropped to a two finger gap, cant go any lower cause it'll start to rub. some times i feel like i it vibrates a little when taking off but then again in could be me? are there any reasons for it?........
i'd post pictures to show you but i dont know how lol.

 

lol nah. I take them off for the winter time brah. what size wheels do you have and what tires are you running and can you explain the vibration when taking off

 

im rollin on the stock rims.....the ones that look like snowflakes? 195/55/16
its like a light shudder i can feel it on the steering wheel.
oh and are new coilovers suppose to make creaking noises? i only hear it when im like driving slow in a parking lot and go over a bump or something.
