My spring setup is not safe. What can I do?
-
Decrease the ride height
-
Reduce bump travel
o
On the front the bump travel can be reduced by decreasing the clamping length of the
damper inside the strut (see also picture above) by changing the position of the “upright
height adjuster”. As this will also increase the ride height, the lower spring seats can be
screwed down the same amount.
o
On the rear for the standard Bilstein damper a longer rod end is available (longer compressed
length -> less bump travel with same ride height). Please contact Bilstein for more
information.
-
Use longer springs (i.e. 200mm long)
