Guys, how safe is adjusting the rear perches to be somewhat like this?

I need to raise the car by about 0.375 - 0.5 more, currently this is the only way to do it.

(not my pic, just a sample to illustrate perch extending beyond threads)

 

I wouldn't take the chance. It should say in the literature you got with your coilovers what the max height you can go.

Just doesn't look safe

 

That's what i thought, too. The literature doesn't say, especially since i've swapped to different springs.

*sigh* I guess i'll have to find another way.

Thanks for the response!

 

Search on line for the max height. Or call the company. Ask someone on here who has the same brand/type.

Bunch of options

Hell, the picture may be ok to do. Just gotta find out for sure.

Just doesn't make sense to have it any further than flush with the top of the perch.

 

Mike, here's a thread that may be of help. My Megans are almost maxed out for rear height and I'm at 26.25" (the fronts are the same height, but they can go as high as a 4x4, lol). I still have about 1/2" of thread above the collars so seems to be fine compared to the pic you showed. Luckily the 26.25" all around is EXACTLY where I want it to be, but no way to get it closer to stock height if the need ever arises. Anyway, here you go & Cheers to a great 2013

Sadly, there isn't one. Well, i could tell you with my old BC springs, but these are with new custom Swift replacements, so things definitely do change. That said, BCs are known to not reach back to OEM height at max height, this is just way too low for max, for me. But i've contacted them and hope to hear by tomorrow. I guess i'll just have to run with it as-is in the meantime.

I'm hoping someone who has BCs with the optional (on recently sold kits) height extenders, that didn't use them, would sell me theirs. Here's my WTB post if you know of anyone.
