How do you adjust ride height?
Hi,
I got imported my Rx7 from Japan and the suspension is susposed to have adjustable ride height.
Does anyone recognise the suspension?
If so, can someone tell me how to adjust the ride height.
I need to raise the suspension as the wheels rub the wheel arches on full lock.
Thanks a lot
Paul

It doesn't look like those shock/springs are adjustable. Mine M2 coliovers have a threaded sleeve that allows for the spring perch to be lowered or raised.
Your problem, tires rubbing against the fender lip is common. It is due to having the wrong offset. I have that problem too. It can mess up your paint and even pop a tire by slashing it. You can have your fender lips "rolled" by a body shop. They use a special tool that folds the lip up. Or you can get new rims or suspension.

Yeah I think you are right, there doesnt seem to be any way to raise the height. My fender lips are allready rolled but the tires still rub occasionally. I guess when you have lowered suspension with 18 inch rims there isnt much you can do about it.

Am I mistaken or do those shocks say 'Ohlins' on them? If they do...you have some killer shocks. Really expensive stuff, even the lower spec models. The spring pans aren't adjustable? With a c-clip under it like Bilstiens?

Ill check if the spring pans are adjustable today.
If they are not will any lowering spring fit with these shocks? Like Eibachs for example?
