Big B Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Hi everyone. I did some upgrades on my 04' 3.0R sedan 2 weeks ago. I changed all the OEM shocks for 4 Bilstein B6. Added to the shocks I bought new front and rear strutmount. I did not change the springs. After 4 days, chassis setting was done. But i checked the weel arch height (from the wheel's center to the lowest point of the wheel arch) and got the following results : Front : 400mm instead of 378 (tolerance +/- 12mm) Rear : 350mm instead of 360 (tolerance +/- 12mm) Added to the height, front shocks are as hard as hell. Is that normal ? What did i do wrong ? Will the front stay like this or not even after weeks of rides ? Will the ride quality change ? Any solution to fix that small issue Thanks for your advices and sorry for my so bad english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdXammo Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I might be wrong but, I think those struts aren't valved for stock springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big B Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 If the struts i bought are not the good ones (they came from kayaba) have you another brand for them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdXammo Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I've got a set of spec b struts and springs that are great together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyan Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 were you expecting a softer ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big B Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Not at all. I look for a more agile car with less body roll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
