Default Question on the coilovers on the early Diablos.

It appears that these coil overs are adjustable. How low can I lower my Diablo?

I don't know how they are on the 1998 but on the early diablo the adjustable Koni's were used, http://www.countach.ch/diablostruts.htm

by turning the plate you can adjust the ride height, but be carefully to have the car running even...

i went from 17" to 18" wheels on my 94 vt i raised the fronts about 1 inch to get more of a clearance.they adjusted no problem take your time apply sometype of wd 40 to loosen up and you need a coil over adjusting tool to do it right.

Default Shock tool

I have the tool, how many do you want? They are $25.00 each and really you need 2 of them. One to hold the adjusting nut and one to turn the lock nut.
