Koni+sportline=more wheel gap, hatch. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I threw on some koni struts on my hatch and now I have more wheel gap. (Rears)
Everything is installed correctly (fsm)
Eibach sportlines springs.

I was on kyb gr2's and the gap was less 2" 1/4
Compared to what I have now 3"
The gr2's are not blown

Is this normal for konis?

Do you have the spring perch upside down in back?

soryu · 07-14-2015, 01:39 AM

No I don't, that would not work.

*e1_griego* · 07-14-2015, 01:39 AM

Yeah, I've seen it done. The silver perch can be flipped the wrong way and it raises the car.

It's not upside down.
I know how the spring is supposed to fit+I checked fsm.
Could dampening setting have any effect?

Alright, just making sure.

Damping shouldn't change the ride height at all.

Anyone here on the same set up?
