Thumbs up Installed CA Tuned Coilovers for 98 Cali Sport

This weekends project was a CA Tuned Coilover suspension upgrade for my 1998 Cali Sport. I acquired the Coilovers from a friend who's recently restored DASC TI was T-boned at an intersection. The Coilovers had less then 500 miles on them.


I am replacing Bilstien HDs on M-Tech springs. They were a comfortable ride, but I wanted a but more cornering stability. I'll move the HD's to Wifey's Active.





The previously installed front and rear Mason strut braces with the lower OEM X-brace finish up this project.




I'll likely raise the front of the Cali 1/2" from a practicality standpoint as it's my DD.

Front:



And drop the rear 3/4"
Rear:



The TI on the right has the Coilovers, the TI on the left has Billy Sports with HR Super Sports.


I have the valve dampening adjustment at the midpoint. Firm, but not spine jolting. I'll need to read up on adjusting the camber plates. I'll see how it rides after I get over this stomach flu or whatever it is. I suspect I'd make myself puke driving like I stole it...

Next project is a M3 brake booster and Master Cylinder in prep for 330CI front brakes.
