Yes, those are 17" wheels. That picture was taken in April 2014 right after putting the coilovers on and before I set the final ride height. I wanted to protect the GP side skirts so I didn't run it this low for long.
BumpDaddy, Now that I can see the entire shock, those look like Colin’s new coil overs, Gen 2. They will not look like mine, Fishmonger’s, or Agranger’s and the setup may be different. A friend of mine was running them at the dragon this year. I would still say his car was sitting lower than mine. Nice setup but the info you are getting on this thread may not apply.
I do like that the rear adjuster is accessible outside the car.
Even if photos of our setup don't help, I can see a lot of threads on these "Gen2" coilovers that can get dropped to get it leveled. For sure, whoever installed them did not set them as low they can go.
So it looks like the upper tube, the threaded part in "coil at fish 2.jpg" is too long. Is the strut up in there? I'd think you could put the lock nuts all the way up (to the left in the photo), cut off the threads and then remove the lock nuts to straighten out any threads that got mangled in the cutting. Thanks for the update... looking forward to a resolution.
what would be wrong with your car? a 1" steel block on the top mounting frame to screw up the ride height? There was nothing wrong with your car when I saw it.
Seriously, what could raise a car over an inch from stock when coilover's are attached? Are your lower control arms too long? Can that even be a factor to make that big of a difference that the three of us could get it so wrong?
