360 front suspesion

Dose anyone if there is a way to adjust the height on the front suspension on a 360?

 

They have coilover suspensions but don't adjust the front without the rear as it'll upset the balance of the vehicle.

 

You will need the correct spanner wrench do this correctly I believe Ricambi sells them; will have to double check. And as David said try to lower the car in balance front to rear and make sure it is correct side to side. Make sure you also check your front end ground clearance, these things scrape on the flattest driveways so be careful.

Good luck.

 

As it happens I did this job yesterday. As mentioned above you need to adjust the ride height front and rear and it should be done by a someone who knows what they are doing.

We couldn't turn the coilover platform with the shock installed so we simply removed it. There's an electrical connector, two bolts at the top and one at the bottom. In order to remove the lower bolt you need to first undo the roll bar linkage.

Once all of these are undone the shock lifts out. Then you need to compress the spring and wind the platform (there is a lock nut that needs to be freed first) - I believe that each 360 degree turn changes the height by 2.5mm. We measured the change in height with a rule from the bottom of the shock to the platform.

Please be very careful when compressing the spring - they contain enough energy to cause serious injury if something goes wrong.

Additonally, you should also check/adjust the rest of the geometry after changing the height as it will change.

if you have the option to corner balance the car with scales that will really help you make sure you didn't set one corner higher than the other.
