Coilover issue

Because when I first installed then I was bit by the slammed bug and had to keep lowering it further and further thru out the years in order to be satisfied.

I'm satisfied now with the height

So your problem is the part with the threads are stripped? If so I think you can use a tool to re thread it. Whenever I stripped where the wheel goes on my trucks on my skateboard I could re thread it easily. Hope this helps

You would need a really big rethreading tool lol.

The problem does not have to do with messed threads. The problem is the cutouts for the spanner wrench are rounded causing the adjustment spanner wrench to not be able to grab the cutouts in order for there to be enough grab to put enough force in order to loosen the the adjustment collar. I drew arrows to the cutouts I was talking about on the picture on the 1st page.

No one has said if he can replace the actual collars though, which is his preference.

Hope it works out, Matt. btw whose Mazda3 is that with your car?

It's my buddy Aaron's. Me and him are in the process of building it. It's the turbocharged Mazdaspeed 3. He has exhaust, intake, lowering springs, and a amazing audio system. We just replaced the Turbo inlet piping last Sunday. Now he's getting a front mount IC, better down pipe, and COBB AP to tune. That car is so fun

Cool. 5spd?

 

[AllGOnoSHOW]

Yes sir

Screw driver + hammer = 10x better than spanner wrenches.

I do it all the time. Andy(sketch 05) gave me the idea like 2 years ago. Haha

i used the same trick and i am sure it will work out for you
