I just got some adjustable GAB sleeves and just like anything, it didn't come with instructions. My main question may be a stupid one. Should the adjuster be facing up or down?

thanks,
Tim

Facing down.

The rubber bumpstop/pillowmount should be on top.

 

[sonique128]

It should be facing down. The top mount, of course, is on the top of the springs.

Not stupid, but humorous

Yes, adjuster goes down.

Thanks. I'll put them on this weekend. How low should I go?

Re: Confussed on springs???

As low as your driveway permits

Might need to get your fenders rolled and angle your way around town.

if i didnt know anybetter id say those are ebay sleeves. looks like em to me.

 

[Miazda318]

If i didn't know any better your a ****. Didn't your mommy tell you if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. Are all your post flames, you ****?

who cares if they are ebay sleeves? they are a non moving part. If they weigh the same, they should provide the same function.

Anyway, the only reason they should face that way is if you roll the car. If you care about performance, in my experience below 12.5" from hub center to fender will put you in the bump stops without extremely stiff springs and also puts you in a nasty part of the camber curve.

Should.....but I bet the ebay sleeves are some kind of cheap Al. machined to wide tolerances, not something I would want the weight of my car beating down every second of every day......
Just my 2cents though :lol:

The thing about teh sleeves is though on ebay it says $25. They get their money from the $25 shipping. They are only $30 cheaper than megan sleeves. The only difference is there is no brand name on them. The springs are primarily for show anyway.

I didn't put them on by the way.

Guys (you know who you are): Let's cut out the flaming and name calling, ok?

Thanks.

Btw, Tim - what synth is that in your pic? You have software synths too?

 

[Stealth97]

Four years and 100k on my cheap ebay coilovers w ith no problem. Ease up.

 

[Matt [exz3owner]]

fwiw - I'd be willing to be the ebay sleeves roll of the same line as the megan racing ones do. I wouldn't exactly put megan racing stuff in the "super high quality, precision made parts" catagory. Both will work fine and serve thier purpose.

I've always been amazed by the fact that the entire weight of the vehicle is supported on those tiny little ledges known as snap rings.

 

[bratfass]

the same curious thing like on my konis, small perches tiny rings

 

[Miazda318]

Yep that is a board, a drum machine (behind sleeve), and a usb keyboard. I produce primarly club music and techno. In the past I've produced Rap. I got tired of them asking for beats so I stopped. If you want to hear some of my music let me know.

 

[timallen]

Sure, send me a PM with a link to your music.
