Coilover upgrade

[whisperingshad]

It made NO difference whatsoever. Total waste of over $3,000.

Wow you are the first to say... those were the MPP?

20s will ride great. Here's my car lowered on Ohlins + 20s. 285/35/20 square

Sweet!

Is there any adjustment that can be made to make the ride smother?

Smoother

Smoother

Yeah 32 different settings i believe, you probably need to go softer.

If Beatlebob2 installed MPP Coilovers without any adjustments, well, those come with extremely low numbers from the KW factory in Germany, I remember something along the lines of 8/5 all the way around. That's about the same stiffness as the original Tesla shocks. They'll need to be loosened out to somewhere along the order of 12/12 or 12/12 to feel a big difference. The adjusters can be found in two locations for each shock: For the fronts, the compression is at the bottom of the shock as a dial, and the rebound is at the very top and needs a 2mm hex wrench (included). For the rears, compression is found at the top inside the wheel well (use a long, thin, wooden stick to adjust) and the rebound is at the very bottom. You won't need to jack up the car to get at any of these adjustments, the only thing is you have to remove a plastic cover for the front and turn the windshield wiper fluid reservoir tube out of the way.

If they are the Redwood/Ohlins, well, someone else can chime in at what the settings are from the factory.

Look at the directions on how to soften the damping. Turn it full soft. Then see how the car rides.

@Beatlebob2 What brand and which model coilovers did you buy?

I wonder how these hold up in the mtns with lots of salt/snow.
