Goodwin tophats - not locating springs well
Posted: Tue Sep 13, 2016 2:07 pm
Hey guys,
I wanted to ask you about what can be done to locate springs on the Goodwin hats? When i was purchasing i've asked and was assured it would be no problem, but there is enough slop with 2.5" ID spring that the 7" Eibach spring ends up rubbing on spec miata sleeve and destroying threads on it. Because this hat has it's own "locator" i can't add an after-market one like Energy Suspension or Spec Miata.
I would really appreciate some help as there is little to no time left before the MRLS and I can't drive the car like this (it makes nasty noise when it rubs and I feel it too).
