rear coilover trouble
Turbo Mini Forums

right basicly ive got the offset protec rear coilovers.
I test fitted them on the car when i had the standard subframe on the rear and they fitted perfect.....
today ive put my single rear beam on the car to save a little bit of weight got it all bolted up and gone to fit the coilovers back on and the springs are hitting on the body so i cant line the threads up with the hole up top :(
i know your actually ment to fit "turrets"? if thats what its called?
does anyone have a pic of them welded in on a car?
also i think i remmeber there was a load for sale on here but cant find them or who was making them?

someone please help me! llol

I am making them bud, £45 for a pair will try and upload some pictures shortly for you

one day boost will be mine!

Do you have the right spings fitted, my eibach springs fit fine, bit of scrubbing near the top was relieved with a persuading device.

The whole point of offset coilovers is to alleviate the need for turrets.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Are your radius arms set to the right toe in/toe out....obvious the more toe in the more room you will have in the wheel well for the coil over. That doesn't mean that you should run loads of toe in, but i would have thought the beam would not change the position of the shock compared to a sub frame? might be worth measuring the position of the arm on both set ups, i.e. distance from each other etc...

"Cars are a lifetime of pain"

ministef1 you have just reminded me....
i can put washers on the studs that hold the arms on the beam to get it to toe in a little so i can get the shocks on!
life saver!!
