  • Rear Perch removal on BC coilovers

    Gday folks, just wandering if anybody has removed the rear peches from BC coilovers?
    Car sits ok...just want it that extra bit low. Not worried about comfort or handeling.
    Also would any body be keen to lend a hand to do this or point me in the direction of somebody who can?

    Cheers

      I hope with this attitude you're not driving on public roads. Handling being your car's ability to go where you want it to...
      Nothing to see here...

        Maybe he only drives in straight lines on smooth rainbows. Hopefully.

        The rear's easy to remove man just search for some write-ups with pics and you'll be on your way. Don't waste your money paying someone to do it.

          Ok so I'm about to remove the rear perch on my KWs.. Should I remove the whole perch or just the adjuster collar thingo? I'm led to believe this would be safer..

          EDIT: Since I don't know how to describe things.. Can I just remove the purple bit, or do I have to remove the black bit too?

              Thanks Dylan, I knew you'd answer =] Yep I'll just do the adjusters first.

              I was surprised at how much gap the KWs had after being wound all the way down. Reading on the TA Technix they go down a hell of a lot more..

                can pull both the mount out also, but just saying pull the adjuster first then see how your going for height
