AllTorque Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Have you loosened the control arm bolts to relax the bushes at the new ride height? It can help with the pogoness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Your alloys have hubcaps. They reduce drag (actually). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KKtrips Posted January 31, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2019 Hopefully tomorrow. Rims are Advan RG's in 16x7 and tyres I'm anticipating will be 205-55-16s so should be same rolling circumference as factory tyres, maybe a teeny tiny bit bigger. These are the new rims here. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitsi forums had a simple trick to fix it - swap around the micro-switches and the +/- labels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Re: pogo-ness You might find that adding a number of extra clicks of stiffness will fix the bouncing. If the springs are stiff then the shock will struggle to control the spring at low levels. I’d suggest starting at 1/2 way (8 clicks) in the front and rear and see how it feels. I remember Richy’s Torneo was set really firm (also had very stiff springs) and it rode like a dream. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KKtrips Posted February 2, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2019 Fitted wheels and tyres today. But the wheels rub marginally on the callipers on both left hand side wheels. It is literally a zig-zag paper thickness clearance. So am ordering a set of 5mm spacers and will be good to go. It'll sit a little lower after I roll it back and forth a couple of times but this is a good idea of how it will look for now. 22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 5mm spacer + toyota= probably need longer wheel studs Or possibly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Do the spokes rub on the caliper itself, or the pad carrier part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage Grumble Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 The callipers will expand a bit under heavier braking I'd say, so will have to use spacers I'd imagine? Happened with my Corolla, sweet as until I braked hard, then calliper hit wheel. I machined a tiny amount off my rims to sort it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spokes rub on the outside of the mount, not the caliper. Also I've checked the studs, there is at least 10 turns. 1.5mm pitch into 5mm spacers will drop that down to 7ish turns. Alternatively I could space the caliper inboard about 3mm with a thick washer behind each mount bolt but it's not really the right way to do it. *waits for you to tell me its a legit way to fix it* 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
