hey guys, I just put in some A'pexi ExV coilovers. I have a quick question. Is it normal for the spring to be shifting around? only the front drivers side moves around. After I drive it, it seems that the spring is slowly rotating. After I drive it each time, the spring does about a 1/4 rotation. The spring locks are tight, the perches are tight, everything is tight. Is it because its not compressed enought against the upper plate and the perches? Also is there anyway to fix this without having to take the coilover off from the car?

Thanks

I would jack the car up first

Then, check to make sure the lower perch is BARE MIMINIMUM touching the bottom of the spring (when there is no load on the spring).

Still, you probably wanna make it a little tighter than this even.

The top and bottom surfaces of the spring are flat, so it isn't "bad" if the spring is rotating, but it is bad if you can hear/feel it shifting around.

Try raising the lower spring perch a bit to see if that helps....no need to take off anything other than the wheel there
