Hey guys,

So I recently ordered Megan EZ Coilovers from Circuit Motorsports here on the forum. I have a couple of questions before I begin the installation.

1) I hear a lot of people are maxing out their front coilovers. My question is why do I have some space between the locking rings? The pre-load is set to zero (I can spin the spring with my hands and it's not too loose) and I can no longer rotate the shock into the cylinder. How come I'm not able to max them out?



2) How come the bottom cylinder bracket is different between Front and Rear coilovers? I've read through a few DIY how-tos and never seen the one circled below. How would I be able to secure it to the a-arm? Am I missing something?



Just wanted to ask you guys these 2 questions before my buddy and I are going to start tearing things apart. I have done lowering spring installation on my Subaru WRX and many more complicated projects, I've just never dealt with coilovers or IS250's yet. Here's a picture of a pair R and F just for referrence. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

(Middle Picture) In the fronts with AWD, there is a C-Bracket that will fit/mesh with the bottom of the coilover. Then a bolt goes up through vertically.

In the rear, the coilover will fit into the control arm with a through bolt horizontally.

Thank you for the explanation, I just wanted to make sure everything would work before I got into this.

Anyone knows why I'm not able to max out the fronts? Or is that as low as they will go? Most of the coilover setups I've seen don't have any shock left... Thanks for any help!

To give you an idea,

This is your front:



This is your rear:

^ Oh wow, thank a lot buddy. That makes a lot more sense now. The rears are straight forward, it's the fronts I was confused with. Thanks again for your help. I would have looked under my car, but it's been raining all day. :/
