I forgot to add, the cable is about a year old.. Not stretched at all really.

I'll have to try that though.

Any other bullshit ******* things that could be going on?

 

Tightening your cable possibly?

 

Cable is pretty tight. Tight enough for sure, I've locked it up with a looser cable.

Also, I can't really tighten it anymore. It won't tighten, it just spins and spins and when I remove the wrench it snaps back into place. It's retarded as hell

 

How often have u used it in the year?

 

Not much honestly.

There's absolutely NO way it's stretched to this point. This is definitely something else. It's still pretty firm, more so then when I replaced it(and it locked before)

 

did you use a c clamp to open your calipers for the new pads? or did you spin the face of the piston? spinning the face of the piston adjusts the ebrake.

 

Just pushed the pistons back by hand kinda.. Nothing was really adjusted, just change pads/rotors. Ebrake hasn't been working for a few months, changes everything trying to fix it, and NOTHING

 

Maybe it's where the cable connect under the chassis maybe something's loose or something you check there

 

Are you out of threads on the cable adjustment nut? Or is the nut seized onto the threads? If your handle is firm but wheels still aren't locking, sounds like the pads are glazed or not worn in properly or just not very good pads.

 

For the front I pushed them open by hand and the rear I used needle nose pliers... And I rebleed all four brakes with the proper bleeding sequence...

 

 

PBM stuff looks great.

 

Finally got to meassure my angle on (Teal knuckles)
I got 63°at full lock!. Ackerman spread was 6° all on mywheels are 17x10.5 -5
Extended ball joint 25mm and Moded. Lca. Can probably do alittle more but my leading tire was all ready rubbing wheel well... I'll start to consider a smaller wheel... Maybe lol

 

Didn't mean full lock , ment till tire rubbed on the wheel well

 

Does anyone have experience with the Megan Racing Track series coils? What's your opinion on them?

 

I run them on my FC. I like them. There great for low powered vehicles being that they have a high spring rate 12k/10k. Makes it a little easier to slide. And there not bad at all on the street. My buddy has the older pbm coils and the Megan's are a much smoother ride. Way better dampening for sure. Although now that i have a little bit more power i find myself wanting more traction in the rear. I wanna see about getting lower rated springs and that would really makes these coils good. There not a bad price these days too.

 

I work on and crew a 240sx running them and they suck ***. For that low dollar market I'd rather get Fortune or BC. A few more bucks and get Parts Shop Max, Stance or Feal.

P.S. I wonder if CX racing coilovers are any better than Megan? Someone should do an ultimate cheap comparison test. Throw Isis and Godspeed coilovers in there too.

 

Maybe its just the 240 that sucks ***...there not the greatest coils. But you make em' sound worse than they are. Im not saying to go buy these either. There's plenty of better coils out there. But if you were to come across these for cheap and needed coils. I would prolly do it. Ive had mine for about 3 or so years with no problems. I would choose these over your basic cheap coils like Godspeed, Isis, etc. But if you have the extra cash i would choose something more up to date. PBM pros, Stance GR pros, KWs, etc.

 

They do have the 12/10k spring rate. What do you guys suggest?

 

I wouldnt go with a 10/12k spring rate unless you have a really cushy seat. They were wicked stiff, but I also still drive the streets sometimes and thats where they sucked. Still, I would always stick with like 6/8k. But thats just me

 

Idk dude I have 10/12k and my car squats in the rear and feels fine.

 

spring rate is relevant. 12/10 won't create as much grip as a car setup with 8/6 with the same dampening settings since it's not going to allow as much weight transfer, but could still squat and feel fine... it really depends on what you're trying to accomplish.. a looser car is typically easier to drive since it floats around... I've personally always ran 8/6 on my rotary powered cars... on a couple v8 fc's I've setup we ran 8/5 and it worked out really well... you really need to see what works best for your driving style.

 

Yea i like it because wide open throttle spins 285's out the back. But can also be camber, tire age, and other factors. Pretty much barely boosting and it rips up tires, which running big wheels and tires is what you want.

If i ever buy new coilovers i would try normal rates

 

If spring rates are so relevant, why don't you delete them?

 

I think you're misreading relevant as irrelevant.
