Flexy Coils and Mathematical Theory for Review

[Delancy]

Delancy,

Your PM is full but here is the info you asked for,

Gracias.

My complaint about app is inability to delete PMs without having to open in safari.

Clearing out soon.

Front Coil Measurements

**Spring Seat Dimension**

Full Extension No SB
DS 29"
PS 25.75"

4" RH COH/F
DS 16"
PS 15.5"

5" RH COH/F
DS 17" PS
17.75"

Full Bump (see pics)

DS 12"
PS 11.25"

**Front Shock Lengths**

Full Extension No SB
DS 33.5"
PS 32"

4" COH/F
Didn't care, irrelevant.

5" COH/F
Didn't care, irrelevant

Full Bump

DS 21.25"
PS 20.5"

Edited: for easy reference, what I ordered, based on previous process that was similar, BUT limiting front to the extension of brake lines and perceived DS bind.

Front
768mm (30.23") extended
455mm (17.90") compressed
313mm (12.33") shock travel

 

[Delancy]

Front coils as noted by tag and my measurements.

PLEASE NOTE. I DID NOT HAVE A MICROMETER, so will remeasure the bar when I get it home

**DS Marked 605 **
Free Length - 24"
(Balance will be added)



**PS Marked 590 **
Free Length- 23.5"
(Balance will be added)

PS coil

App sucks, right now.

More pics, commentary to follow.

Extended











Just noticed the brake line as a limit strap.




Compressed

 

[Delancy]

Something's bound on the front.

It's not the driveshaft, as I first thought, since it still spins, doesn't appear to be the arms, not the tie rod hitting housing (can't turn wheels, obviously) so best guess is its the steering link and pan hard.

Sound right?

 

[AutoCraft Aus]

yep, they are normally the limiting factor.

For simplicity for you,

section open on road to be 1" shorter.

Section closed on road to be 1"" taller.

 

[Delancy]

For simplicity for you,

This may confirm my ignorance, because I'm clueless.

 

[Delancy]

Did I finally go off the deep end and lose the interest of participants?

Be interested to know if anyone may have the free length and static height of a given coil, by name, and done weight basis to compare to.

My first round of custom coils has ended with a
so on to developing further, a plan to address.

Can't believe no one said anything about the brake line limit strap either.

If I said yes would you hold it against me?

Thought nothing of it. Figured you'd just replace it with SS and call it a day

 

[Delancy]

If I said yes would you hold it against me?

Hahaha. Yes.

Hey, you literally just installed coils on a stock LX, right?

If I find the info on one of your fifty three active threads , think I could ask a favor and measure the static height of the individual coils?

It's easy to measure, but you'll have to get on your knees........wait! That won't be a problem at all!!!

These replaced the stainless.

 

[NLXTACY]

Hahaha. Yes.

Yeah, I can do that. Get on my knees I mean...for you. With a measuring tape. So I can measure...

 

[Dynosoar]

Careful when Joey measures he starts at the taint! So always subtract a few inches from what he says.

Dyno

 

[Delancy]

I always thought you started further back from there, since possible to anchor in, ensuring accuracy.

 

[AutoCraft Aus]

He would be after a meal, not a snack, at this time of day though, Chris.

Sheet, I'm hugely Italian, so snack-time is a fair sized portion.

I'll start a new thread in Chat, before this is deleted or The Gup posts "Chat Bitches", titled
"Extended, Compressed, Static Dimensions and Mathematical Theory Required to get ANALXTACY on his Knees" for fun.

 

[NLXTACY]

Oh no you didn't

 

[Delancy]

Anyone capable of pulling the Lexus OE coil part numbers by VIN?

Be greatly appreciated.

Use at your own risk. lol

 

[Delancy]

Thank you. Owe you several, by now.

It really doesn't matter, but a requirement by particular party.
