A friend of mine installed a set of true coilovers over this weekend, however I have a few questions regarding it. I've spent a few days searching, but there isn't a thread that explicitly answers my questions. So, here we go...

Am I supposed to keep the OEM rear springs installed? Is there anything wrong if they are kept on the car WITH the true coilovers installed? Is a spring bucket delete absolutely necessary? What would I need to complete it?

I also went ahead and got a rear Eibach camber kit. How is this installed?

Thanks guys.

 

Answers above, hope they help.

 

You take out the oem spring from the rear or else it has a very weird setup of two springs, although the oem spring would likely still be bearing most if not all the weight. You also wouldn't be able to lower your car without removing them and using the coilovers alone.

You don't need to do the spring bucket delete unless you want to install a toe arm to adjust the toe rather than the toe bolts. Some prefer toe arms because you can adjust toe more as well as the fact that you can then use lockout washers to prevent the toe from slipping out like it sometimes does with the oem toe bolt setup. But it isn't a necessary change.

Rear camber kit search up some DIYs for installation. You are going to either want to get the SPC elongated toe bolts as well as enlarging the toe bolt holes via dremel with the template provided when you buy the kit, or you can get a toe arm instead and delete the spring bucket (if you do this, buy the lockout washers as well).

 

Couldn't have said it better myself^

 

Thanks Blue Dream and Xet. I really appreciate it.

You'd be surprised at how hard it is to find this kind of information. Thanks again.
