Re: [Mk2] [NA] A Tein SS Nightmare?
Thanks for the reply mate.
I appreciate it.?
Ehmm.. you'r not telling me I torn up the chassis did I ?
The rear subframe is a good place to support the car, isn't it.
Maybe I did make a xxxxx with supporting the car on the LCA's.
I'll go check it out asap.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] A Tein SS Nightmare?
Yes, but on the rear it was fitted on the subframe! So that's safe. and the position of the lower arms. yeah.. maybe but it was in this position for maybe 3 -5 weeks. the strength the lower arm has to endure is not very different then it would get from te wheel.. only at another point and most of th...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Roof 'spoiler' removal
Hi mike.
You need to rmove the roof interior parts aligned to the rear window
There I believe you see 4 or 6 nuts.. remove them
The lowest part of that "spoiler "is attached with click system..
Just gently pull it loose.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] A Tein SS Nightmare?
considering you'r helping me while you are more then 600km's away from me.. is good enough ..

Re: [Mk2] [NA] A Tein SS Nightmare?
roger that.. will do.
Tomorrow morning.. it will be the first thing in the morning!
and ehm.. if the suspension is just screwed.
I'm gonna need new springs , because that's net to the arb the only thing that affects the ride height. . where can I get tein ss springs?

Re: [Mk2] [NA] A Tein SS Nightmare?
The new drop links are only mounted for some weeks..maybe all together 2 months.. If the Arb is bent.. Í can check that by loosening the Drop links ( all 4 of them ) .. then the ride height on all wheels should be good.. right? By the way.. did this guy had the same problem as I have now? http://mr2...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] A Tein SS Nightmare?
can I have mounted the drop links wrong?
I mean.. that would be the only solution, next to the fact the there is a possibility that the ARB is bent.. but nothing happened in those 6 months that could explain such a thing

Re: [Mk2] [NA] A Tein SS Nightmare?
No I didn't do that.. The Tein SS set came with 2 drop links.. shiny ones. you see them on the picture in this thread. These ones need to be fitted on the front suspension right? The rear drop links needed to be renewed.. So I just ordered a set on ebay for the mr2. Can I ordered the wrong ones? Do ...

Re: teins
Thinking about this, maybe the shock on the side that is riding high is siezed/jammed/broken in the extended position, effectively 'jacking up' that side of the car. it would explain then why you get no response from adjusting the spring seats ? No.. it's fine. I took the front ones apart. and was ...

Re: teins
That's really strange... The shocks shouldn't really affect ride height once the car settles, after all, they just damp the sprng motion but should rest in any position. What's does the car sit like if you disconnect the front anti roll bar (don't attach the drop links) ? And with the shocks off th...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] A Tein SS Nightmare?
Anyone has an Idea yet?
And ehm.. are the springs on the Tein Super street coilovers apart for sale? Because.. it must have something to do with the springs right..
How can I rule the shocks out..

Re: [Mk2] [NA] A Tein SS Nightmare?
Hmm.. right. That's the problem.. I can adjust whatever I want.. the ride height is not affected.... Not only the case with the suspension that is to low... but the same for the 2 ones that are to high. They won't drop.. and the lower ones wont go up.. I understand the construction with the 2 green ...
