Hello,
I've had my Bilsteins for a while now, and due to the rear wheel offset, and traditional camber setup, I'm getting some rubbing on the rears. I remember when I first set the height, before taking the car for an alignment, that I followed the instructions in the manual to set them at the max height. I also remember thinking it was pretty lowered in the rear at these settings. Now if I raise the rear beyond the prescribed range, will I do any damage to the shocks, and will I hamper their ability to work within their range? If not, I guess I'll just increase the camber. Thanks in advance.

 

you should be fine raising it. If you raise it so high that you begin to preload the spring then expect a different handling characteristics. A shock should function the same regardless of where it is raised or lowered.

 

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully I'll have some time to get around to it.

 

post some pics before? i'm curious to see height.
