They dropped the car quite a bit , so not to bottom out, the installer set the softness to max and spring pre-load to the tightest available (all the way to the top).

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All. I purchased and had installed the ECS Coil overs. They dropped the car quite a bit , so not to bottom out, the installer set the softness to max and spring pre-load to the tightest available (all the way to the top). As a result, the car now bounces over smallest of bumps. Has anyone installed the same coil overs and if so, what settings did you use? Please help.

POST 2Original post

Reducing the preload should improve the ride and raise it up. You only need enough preload to keep the springs from flopping around

POST 3Original post

Didn't know ECS had their own line of coilovers. Interested to find out how well they work out for you.

POST 4Original post

Just wondering how much the coil overs were, my car needs struts and I wanted to see what some of the best after market ones were and how much they cost.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
