ms123crownpimpmobile Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 hey guys so bit of progress recently have a few questions for you crown gurus Q1 .have lowered the rear on 99 mazda 626 rear spings and its the hight I want except on one side its 15mm higher than the other how can I fix this and why is it like that? Q2.I want to use falcon springs up front they are much stiffer and would like to keep my originals as back up .the standard crown front spring is 440mm standard falcon spring is about 390.i fitted the falcon spring and dropped the jack was surprised to see it was at the exact same height lol so few DAYS LATER I pulled it out cut off 45mm .now its 345 mm high spring almost 100mm less than standard crown spring,put it all back in drop the jack and its barely lower. soim thinking im gonna have to cut like another 100mm of these falcon springs to get them to work but will I then have to shorten the shocks or will the standard hight shocks still be sweet? Q3how much did you guys cut out of your factory springs to achieve low up front? Q4 also the thing that joins to the lower arm with the bumpstop attached is max tightened right now if I go lower how will this work?do I trim the rubber bushes on there so I can shorten the length and tighten it up? all info is max helpful and appreciated cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowzer Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Trim it back slowly and just keep trying. The first chunk you cut off never makes much of a difference, but the second chunk drops it a lot. I overshot my own coz I took off too big a second cut.

Brock-Lee Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Dont lie. Letting it down off the jack and having the jack get stuck/car bottom out on things is awesome. It means that you might need another set of springs but it still makes you smile etc. Â Â Pics of how low it ended up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 If it's below 100 you'll need a cert (or new springs and try again) but these will happily roll around 80mm at the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms123crownpimpmobile Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yeh It was awesome! till I realised how bad guard rub on slight corners would be I intend on driving this thru twisty bits without issues so I didn't want it that low Will put up pics when I get to laptop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
