I want to raise up the rear on my tein basics. However, I can not seem to compress the spring anymore with the wrench thingy. It is physically impossible for me to raise it anymore it is getting way too tough to turn the perches. This is on my 05 sedan (suspension is probbly for g35 coupe/350z) what are some suggestions? I've tried lube and wd40 it's not helping. Please let me know if anyone is having this problem as well.

 

Do you have the suspension free of the weight of the car?

 

i was about to ask the same thing.

 

yes, it was on jacks but the spring is very compressed to a point where it's hard to turn the perches almost impossible

 

When it gets like i drop the bucket the springs seat on.
No more compression and you put it where you want it to be
and then just raise the bucket back up with a jack and
put the one bolt back on and your golden.

 

+1, that is the easiest and quickest way to do it.

thanks for the help guys, i will try this weekend

 

Hey guys. Anybody home? I have an 04 sedan 6mt. I currently have on tokico springs I put on to go with the d-spec struts and shocks that came with the car. I'm getting some uneven wear (toward inside of tires, of course) from the camber issues on the rear. I can't see any other way to get rid of it besides to go back to the original springs. I'm willing to give up the lower height, which I love, to save some cash on tires. But with the original springs, the rear gap is less than the front and I hate that. How can I get the rear up a hair to be even with the front? What are my options?

I am rolling on 225/50 18's. For a while I went with 235/40's because those were the tires I had when I put the tokico springs on, but I scrape the ground with the under body and front end too much with the combination of the lowered ride height and those thin tires. They actually maybe wore a little more evenly (although not much), but they're a hair more expensive and wear a lot faster, considering there are nothing but performance tires in that size and then it wears even faster because it's got a smaller circumference. So I'm sort of forced by financial circumstances to go with 225/50 18's and I need to put my original springs back on to get rid of the camber issue, but I wanna get rid of the extra gap there is on the rear end with those springs. What to do??

Thanks guys.
