Exclamation D2 Coilover Questions

I was thinking after I roll my fenders to slam the integra and I was thinking if I could take off the 3rd wrench thing on the coilover, prolly dont know what im talking about but the bottom purple wrench. But i was thinking i could take that off and be really really low

anybody know or anything???

just an idea to get it slammeddd

not the right way, but yeah you cna take it off. Use d2 also

it should get "slammed" without removing a perch ring.
thats just depending on how low u want to go.

You can do it but i don't see the reason behind it. Basically it would be like taking a coil sleeve off a stock shock (or aftermarket) and placeing it on the perch.

I know with my function forms type 1s, you can readjust the preload but it voids the 1 year warrenty. However Mine are halfway lowered and the car sits fairly low. So I cant imagine how low it would be all the way down.

d2's are rebuildable, as long as he gots monies

if he wants to go lower than the lowest setting, his tire might burn a hole on the fenders, assuming he has good wheel fitment

you can, but they don't even recommend lowering the spring b/c of the way it's designed...when you took this pic i was lowered as far as the shock body could go with the springs preloaded...if i were to lower the springs i'd be scraping over everything

i pulled the locking spanners out of my omni drags but i left my springs preloaded. i just wound the bottom all the way up...my car got plenty low...anything lower is just outright crazy.
