My gixxer_drew Bilstein Hypercoil Review
#91
Sorry buddy, its been ultra busy and forums have been put on the back burner.
So as I can see you are saying that all of them are not reaching the top?
First off, the rears will NOT reach the top (10" may be too short but I cannot confirm that 12 or 14" will work).
The fronts however should. If I remember correctly, I put my C-Clip on the top ring. I cannot confirm that though.
As you can see my car lowered (see sig) and this is where it is set at - For the fronts.
For reference, this is the rears, but when I lowered the car it was about 4" above the wheel
Only way to get the car low as mine (see sig) in the rear WITHOUT a loose spring in the air would be a helper spring or a taller spring. However, when the car is lowered, it is compressed and it is NOT going anywhere.
Honestly, I dont even know if I helped or not. If you want to, talk to me over aim, it would be easier and then the answer (if found) can be posted here.

Someone asked how low my setup would go, I'd guess about 2.5" with 10" springs. The rear is the limiting factor, the fronts can go lower with these sleeves. However, you could just as easily go with 8" springs in the rear and adjust the seat further up the threads.

Matt/whoever has done it, is this how it should look like for the rear shocks (check width of clip please).wanted to make sure the sleeve would latch onto the shock body properly. thanks.

thanks matt, ordering sleeves tom! ride feels funky right now with just the fronts installed on stock supra springs. it's riding like it's confused whether to handle well (oem bilsteins/supra springs up front, stock sc strut/spring rears) or continue riding like a soft couch...
