    HSD DT coilover questions.

    Hi,ive got the DT range on an S14 Silvia.
    First it might be silly question, but which way round do the offset lower bushes go on the rears?
    Pics fitted?
    And also noticed that the botton bolt on rears doesn't go in too far, so not many threads holding them! Do they need new longer bolts??

    offset away from the hub so the body doesn't hit, (basically spaced out, if I'm explaining that at all well!) I used the original bolts on my CS2's.

    The spacer goes towards the hub.
    I used the origional bolts, they dont have to thread in far as they arent under much pressure because the coilover is sitting on the hub.

    what he said The spacer moves the lower mounting away from the hub. OEM bolts should be fine

    Same coilovers still. How do you stop the front springs "twanging" when turning the steering? Ive set them up with a smidge of preload,but the springs still turn and make noise.
    More preload or less??
