Hi guys..
After installation of the pillowball,my ride is higher like 2"...
Luckily i can adjust the height wif my pillowball...
But i think is still too high juz like std height even after the adjustment...
With shorten 1 1/2 coil Rear S14 spring,i manage to lowered it a bit compare to std height but im thinking to lowered it down like 1" more...
But the problem is,the stroke of the absorber already too little like oni <3" play...
Any solution for me to lowered it more but still maintaining those original parts?

I doubt it mate. By the sounds of things your not using a coil-over type suspension which in most cases now are height adjustable at the very bottom. This may be your only option otherwise to ditch the pillowballs or shorter stroke shocks.

Can anyone confirm?

replacing it wif std rubber top mount wif -ve camber will wear out the rubber fast,correct me if im wrong...

Not necessarily, it does depnd on how the rest of your suspension geometry is setup but the diff in wear shouldnt be that noticable.

To get your car down around 1" under spec and be able to super fine tune camber and caster the full coilover setup is the way to go. Matching your spring rates, shock deflection and swaybar torque will go along way to making the little beast handle like a go-kart. Have a talk to your local suspension shop people or get in touch with the techs at King Springs ( www.kingsprings.com.au ) I am sure that they can help you out.

Shouldn't those camber plates be on top of the strut tower, instead of underneath?

So what mods have you made? What does your suspension consist of? So you took out the original rubber tops and replaced them with these and it raised the car 2 inches?

I would keep the strut top under the metalwork otherwise you have all the weight of the car loading on 3 bolts.

Mine is juz B310 std strut. After replacing the std rubber top to pillowball it rises bout 2". At tat time,the gap between flare n tyre were like 120mm!!

I replaced the b310 std coil to b310 coil to cutted 1 1/2 coil n manage to lowered it bout approx 2". But is not stiff enough so i replace it wif the S14 rear coils n cutted it 1 1/2 round. Now i manage to lowered it to approx 80mm....

My current suspension spec
Reoiled Shock(stiffer)
Rear S14 Coil(Cutted 1 1/5 coil)
2" bump stop
Hi/lo Pillowball Mount
B310 Lower Arm set(retread caster rod + b210 sway bar)
