so im going to be adjusting my ride height here soon but this is how my coilovers sit currently.

to adjust ride height on the ksports up front i need to rotate the whole hollow body down, correct? it has nothing to do with the spring... right?

Can you even turn the wheels lock to lock?

 

[arch4life]

i can.

i rub a bit in heavy cornering. but im going to raise the car until i can clear speedbumps. it looks sweet tho. lol

To adjust ride height, that's correct. Just make sure to tighten the black plastic locking mechanism that's compressing the spring. Otherwise you might get a clunking sound.

 

[arch4life]

um? black plastic locking mechanism?


im confused. its all aluminum on the fronts......

 

[m6racer]

those coils are f*ckin sex :drool:

 

[Marko343]

F*cking Sex indeed!

Looks low.

Need a better shot though, full side shot. Get on it.

 

[dayam6]

What kinda Coilovers did you end up gettin?

 

[Chode6i]

i'd raise it maybe .5 or 1" and get all the ladies.

I've had mine lower that than on D2's, once it's that low you can't turn lock to lock on the RX7 wheels without rubbing the inside. Also at that height my GT-Spec underbrace was about 3/4" for the ground. Needless to say it isn't show quality anymore.

 

[arch4life]

yeah its all temporary, itll all get raised come tommorow. but it looks sweet as hell

 

[Raynman]

That looks frickin sweet!

Heaven would have smooth roads and curbs so we can all drive that low.

 

[silver six]

Sweet! Got to love it low!

 

[jaysonday]

wow.. so, coilovers FTW!!! haha

 

[UCYIMD1]

Looking nice....you should leave it like that...my car is about that hight...from what it looks like in the pics...makes driving fun

 

[blackmagik_13]

Makes driving fun when the road's flat or sloping with nice curves, and no inclines or speedbumps.

That's what you MEANT to say, right...

 

[chambers7867]

My bad, haven't seen this thread in a while. Here: http://www.mazda6tech.com/index.php?option...3&Itemid=49

Look at step 8. To lock the springs into place, you have to adjust the two round "dials" (i don't know how else to describe it). For the Ksport's, those two round dials are black and plastic. At least on mine it is. You can do this while it's on the car.

Take speedbumps one corner at a time. Take them diagonally in other words. So just one tire passes over it at a time. Unless they're really high speedbumps. I love that height. I'm having to get coilovers soon, stock struts on lowering springs for 70K + at the moment hehe, and when I do it's going to be that low. 4 wheels tucking is what I want. hahaha
