Ultimate Street suspension guide

I can replace it with a picture of mine, they were made by Charlie himself

please do. My upper holes pulled out on me at autocross. I was lucky no damage was done. I felt it happen and got off the gas quick. i was lucky tho.

We might need to change that picture out to the correct way to slot the holes.


Guys dont slot like my picture. It is not safe. I had to go back and weld plates on and redo the holes. please slot the bottom hole up and the top hole in.

When slotting the top hole on the front coilover assembly, is it only necessary to elongate the hole toward the shock body or in both directions? Your cut looks a bit different than the example posted in the advance suspension thread. I'm about to do this upgrade!

I did mine wrong. i was drunk that night and having fun... dont do like mine.


you only need to go in towards the shock body.

Yay the pictures are back, i'm glad it's finally stickied! Will be very useful for new festiva owners.

Pictures are fixed! Thread has also been stickied for future reference, it deserves it.

Ahh gotcha, I thought it looked short compared to the 12"ers in the original post

[skeeters_keeper]

I'm not sure if it means 150LB or maybe 150kg or something, but it is way too short. You want minimum 10" preferably 12" springs in the front.

Coilover question

Does this number code mean it's a 150# spring? Is this the spring I'll use for my ultimate suspension setup once I purchase the mk2 struts?

Hit me up on Monday/Tuesday Mike, we are going to knock through it

I can repost them maybe! Tomorrow

[Geminigiant]

Is this thread going to get its pictures redone?

[greywolf200]

Very nice guys, I would really like to do this so I can lower this baby. Gotta do some work on my Capri first.

Thanks again.

Mine have a build date stamped on them of January of 2017. Looks like you got the last of the old batch maybe!?
