*ADVICE* Coilover install

Discussion in 'Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres section' started by max.marrion, Mar 28, 2021.

  1. Hi guys, looking to attempt at fitting my coilovers I got recently. They’re KW V3’s so they don’t come with top mounts. Do I swap everything from the OEM shock including bearing? Not many videos out there with precise instructions so would help a bunch with any advice:smile:

    Thanks!
     
  2. Not answering your question but would it be worth fitting adjustable top mounts (compbrake) so you have some adjustability - they are expensive coil overs to be stuck with standard geo’
     
  3. ^^^Agree with this^^^ And yes, you need the bearing too. When the spring is working, it have a little rotation too. The bearing help to this movement.
     
  4. Hi guys, managed to fit one side today and the bearing did not fit anywhere. I will upload a photo with how it assembled. The bearing has a inner diameter of the oem spring which doesn’t fit with the KW spring. The coupling from KW fitted snug straight onto the top mount though. The picture below is of the top mount on the coilovers without the bearing

    My fault!! Forget that detaill!! The bearing obviously is for OEM spring diameter. So, can´t use it!:sweatsmile::sweatsmile::sweatsmile:
