Anyone that owns a 93-97 Camaro, or even *cough* Xride *cough* to look at their rear coil springs. I need to know where the end of the bottom coil is.

In this case I'm going to say If you were looking down on them, and the lower perch's (round) were clocks, 12 would be towards the front and 6 would be at the rear. Naturally 3 and 9 would be left and right side.

I need to know where everyone has there "clock set at"

 

I'll look tomorrow if you dont get an answer, but right now its raining.

I dont think it makes a difference though???
cause the bottom toutches everywhere except where it ends theres like a cm gap.

 

Thanks, I would appreciate it...

The very end of the bottom coil is what im talking about, the very end of the spring. It's position supposedly matters. BOTH of mine are about 10'sh. I was putting the scanned pages together and I noticed in the Haynes manual that is says to watch where the coil sets before you remove the springs, and it makes a big deal out of it. It also mentions they should "face the front". First time I've ever heard of this. I've always just plopped my springs in. Now maybe it was paranoa, but I walked out and noticed my other sportline equipped car and the stance was odd... I then checked with a few friends and they said if you didn't put the spring in the same position the springs would settle at different heights. Im about to put my second set in my project maro, so this suddenly concerns me.








Nope, still stumped... I await your reply. I would appreciate if you checked both yours if possible. I'll owe you a "skinny".

 

no no, you owe a "bilstien shocks are better then KYB"

 

Done! I posted that in the other thread.

[edit] ohhh you 8asterd, your sig is'nt funny at all!!

 

I know its not funny, its the truth.

now I can jsut tell people that its generally agreed that bilstien are the best, and to jsut see sig

 

well, I'm waiting xride....

 

If you're doing a survey, mine were pointed forward at the cut, the way they're supposed to

Dave

 

yes I am, or at lease highly interested in what everyone has. Do you mean the end of the coil is at 9 oclock? or are you being a smartazz and talking about the cut itself?

 

The end of the coil at 9 o'clock.

Dave

 

Both of them Dave? And thanks BTW...

Now waiting for "others" to respond.

 

Both rears, yes.

Dave

 

Hmm, i was wondering if one would be at 9 and one at 6 since the two sides are different. But good to know dave, thanks.

paging xride... xride to brakes/suspension forum please.

I cant see the end of the coil! are they at (both) 12 oclock? And are those stock? and what about your other car?
