Rear height seat

Post by BKH808 »

I recently bought these height adjuster for my rear but it pretty much raised the car. My TRD 6k spring are cut about 1.5 coil and is 7.5" in length which is pretty short. I figure for the adjusters to be functional the spring would have to be around 5.5" in length which doesn't sound too safe to cut it more. I am also scared of it slipping off the rear end.

I know Stance, Megan, BC etc have really short springs too, If anyone could measure the length in those too.

Just wanted to know your opinion, or if you knew who would make custom spring in diameter, length, and spring rate for a decent price.

I'd like a set of those.

I run BCs (as do a growing number of members on here from what I hear) so I'll measure them today unless someone gets back to you with the info before I do.

So doing research I took these notes from the megan website for the AE86 application.

62mm ID; 160mm length; 6 kg/mm


62mm in diameter? So probably about 65mm outside diameter?
Also 160mm meaning length of the spring so about a 6.3" tall spring?

I found these 6kg and there 150mm so around length im looking for.

I don't see why not.

Im a idiot, The link i posted above are front coils. 2.5" diameter. What the hell was I thinking :action10:

Anyways found out the spring diameter needs to be 110mm and needs to be around 140mm to 160mm tall.
