FK coilover question

branabolic · 03-18-2009, 09:17 AM

with FK Silverline X,do the controls arms need to be dropped on a 335i in order to adjust ride height? or can you just put the wrench in there in turn away?

to adjust the height, all you need to do is use the wrench...controls arms have no bearings to height adjustment

ok cool i just remember reading that with xi models and some coilovers you have to drop the control arms. how about the damping clickers, are they easy to access as well?

While on the topic of FK coilovers, what height settings have you set for the front and rear?

guys i know that control arms do not affect the height of the car. what i was wondering is if there is enough room with these coils to get at the height adj. collars with the control arms still attatched? some people with kw's and JIC cross have reported the need to drop the control arms due to lack of room.
