Ultimate Street suspension guide

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!

Here is what it should look like, original post has been updated.

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.

Will do, glad you saved it in time!

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

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.

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
