Tamora ride height

[Jalfonse]

After scraping underside of front spoiler twice since having it painted i really would like to raise the ride height, is this possible?

[ChrisPap]

Yes it's possible but it will depend on what dampers you have fitted as to how much and it what size steps.

I have bilsteins, no obvious means of adjustment though when I look at them? Cheers, lee

[Jalfonse]

They're probably the stock items if that helps?, are any special tools needed?

[ShiDevil]

C Spanner there is a locking / adjustable washer at bottom sometimes two, one to adjust and one to lock although many just have one that's how mine work anyway mine are Protechs though :/

I don't think the std bilsteins have threaded collars, if there are groves on the body it may have a locking ring and a sliding collar, or worst case, you need to get a spring spacer to stick in behind the spring to artificially raise the spring platform.

If it doesn't have a threaded collar one can be retrofitted. Alternatively they have a number of grooves that will give some level of ride height adjustment. Just compress spring and move the C-ring under the bottom spring collar up to the next groove.

I can see Grooves. Thanks for replies, how long do the shocks last?

[Jalfonse]

I just noticed that when i let the car back down the ride height was a good inch higher, problem fixed!!, or shocks need replacing :-/

On the original shocks my front splitter was 90mm above the ground and couldn't be adjusted, raised it by 25mm when I fitted Protechs.
