View Full Version : Coilover/ suspension problem

I recently bought suspension parts:
Megan "Street" coilover
Tein tie rod, and and tie ends
Kazama pillow tension rod
Kazama rear upper control arms
Kazama toe control arm
Tanabe rear and front sway bars
Nismo power brace

I have not gotten an alingment yet.

The problem happens when i come to a drive way really slow,
slow where you come to a complete stop at the front of the drive way
the car is low so i have to angel it. When i have It at A certain angel, going slowly at up a drive way, the rear seems to not make contact with the ground so the wheel is virtually spinning without touching the ground at a certain angle so the car does not move, or has a hard time moving. The wheel that is suppose to push the car is not touching the ground. This also happens when i reverse over a speed bump at an angle also. It is even worst while reversing because the car will not go over the speed bump, even when i step on the gas, all I am doing is burning the clutch, so i have to re-angle it where i can not get stuck.

It might be the coilovers, because my brother just got his installed, with just the Megan "street" coilover and the same problem happens.

I need some answers help please!

welcome to the world of coilovers.. now sell those megans, and get better ones! seriously tho that happens, you just gotta learn to avoid it, or get a 2 way.
also search for info and shit

So your saying i should get a better coilover, maybe even 2 way lsd
and try avoiding angles that get you stuck?

Dude it's called stiff springs! All coilovers do that! With an open diff you are left helpless with one wheel spinning, with a vlsd it is only marginally better as the diff does not actually fully lock. Get used to it or buy a clutch type diff.

you answered it yourself haha. It is cause the wheel that is supposed to contact the ground and move you is not in contact with the ground since you have an open diff the other wheel still in contact does not spin. get a differential.

when it first happend to my brother

i said damn u need lsd as a joke, lol

yes the lsd will help you very much. both wheels will spin at the same rate as opposed to only one wheel spinning. or just go faster when you're going up the driveway if y ou dont mind scrapping the sh*t out of your chassis... gl with your situation.

lol @ getting out to push it... but in all seriousness just go a little faster. The LSD will make things better, welcome to the world of low vehicles :snoop:

You pick up a tire because those coilovers dont have much droop travel.Its just the way it is, I had to move because of my driveway!
