suspension help....if you dont know, dont talk

[yokotas13]

Ok, basically i need to kinda tweek my rear suspension on my stagea

the mounting is the exact same as the s chassis on teh bottom

Problem is hte Top mounting location is towards the outside of the car is further out than an s chassis so it is closer to the wheel

well, i need more clearance, SO, i need to figure out a way to move the lower mounting point inwards. by about an inch or two off the LCA.knuckle thing.

anyways, any ideas?
I was thinking ge ta longer bolt put some washers spacing it out, and bolt it on...


any better ideas?

Isn't the lower shock mount cast into the knuckle?

^^^ i was just going to ask that..maybe pictures could help us a little more

[yokotas13]

thats the slight problem

you have NEVER looked at your suspension?

[HS13KLS]

yes, lol. i was trying to have you take a picture, and almost "draw out" your idea.. if you didnt have one then thats another story.. im still looking for a solution to your problem though.. i dont think it should be too hard

[yokotas13]

i hope not
if i put air on this thing, the 10js wont fit

He wants to move the lower coil/shock mount in toward the body, away from the knuckle.

All I can figure is a Bushing with a spacer built in.

Or run a wheel that fits better...

[yokotas13]

wheel fits perfect

its the shock that doesnt fit the wheel

sooo boooooom

lol
pleaseeeee help me out

may seem like a lot of work, but try finding a stud/bolt of the same design and knurl as the stagea but longer and air hammer the stock one out. press the new one in, then get a bushing washer that is thicker than the old. same as your idea but more in depth i guess.

The lower mount is not cast in to the hub. It's a 20mm stud.

[yokotas13]

so where can i find a larger one?

Your local machinest. Unfortunately I don't know of a longer one, so you'll have to get one made.

[yokotas13]

know of any
a "local" machine shop isnt really existant in japan

[let5l1de]

i agree with veilside180sx. A new custom stud is the right solution. I assume you have done some homework and measured coilover body/overall spring diameter that allow the most adjustment you are looking for.

[yokotas13]

this isnt for a performance purpose
its a coilover that iwll have an airbag on it on my stagea

the top mount position makes the shock sit stupid close to the wheel.

Anyone know anyone at a machine shop that can help
