junction produce coilovers FINALLY came in..

well after 3 weeks of stressing that i got scammed, the JP coilovers i bought from GMCKEY came in....thanks...


couple questions... one set has thicker and fatter springs than the other, just wanna be sure the thicker ones go in the front rite?

and there are two height adjustment, one at the coils and one at the bottom joint... should i adjust the bottom one to its lowest point? that way i can have more room to play with the springs and not bottom out my shocks?

Thicker springs at front.

Set the spring preload using the top adjustable platform, set the height with the adjustment on the strut

I didn't even know Junction Produce made coilovers. Do they make them for other cars too?

how you know that? its possible some shop like super autobacs in japan bought them for autobacs USA and got them here for someone. There are tons of grey marketers. I feel as long as you know someone that can get Junction Produce in Japan can get get it.

set the lower threaded body ( where it meets the casing ) to the lowest first , then raise the spring perch so you get a nice lengthy strut rod travel.

keep in mind, you can also TOP OUT just like you can bottom out. Toping out means you have the spring perch too high and the inside is hitting the top, just like when u bottom out when the inside hits the bottom.

the key is the have a lengthy strut rod travel without toping out, and at the same time using the strut body adjustment to get more droppage.
