ECS Coilovers to low on rear is there a remedy?

English Chris · 08-09-2023, 06:36 PM

Hi guys i've got 32 way Adjustable coilovers from ECS fitted to my E92, they were on the car when i purchased it, i'm trying to add height to the rear due to new tires and a 4 wheel alignment, i'm now getting rubbing on the rear fenders,

From what i can see im at the end of the thread for the collar and it doesn't seem like i can add any further height,

Would any of you experienced people have any fixes for this issue?

Post a picture of what you see in the spring area and how it sits

I am also curious about this. I have the KV-1 and I also think they are too low, but I do not have enough thread to raise them. It should be possible to insert a solid aluminum spacer below the spring or buy a longer spring. Interested in your solution.

Buy longer springs.

It's still going to rub under heavy bound. Body metal and wheel/tire fitment is also a problem.
