Ohlins Flag L

Hi, Im new here. I just bought a Ct9a ohlins Flag L coilover and im installing it to my Cp9a. Everything fits fine just that i notice the rear coilover is just too low. I cannot seem to find a solution to higher the heights and it just doesnt seems right. The front is ok but the rear i have already adjust it to the max height and still my tyre is inside the wheel arch.

Did u adjust by spinning the collar or by spinning the threaded cylinder? Because u can spin the treading out as well just don't go pass the factory marking. Read the instructions.

I am spinning the bottom part which is to be mounted to the car and not passing the 30mm factory marking. The rest of the body doesnt seem to be adjustable. It is way too low. Is this normal?

remove both of the rears, set them up exactly the same on the ground, then reinstall. If it is still off, you might have missed a part. Check to make sure that everything is the same for both struts.

I seem to recall the oldr Evo 4-6 had a different top hat on the rears. If you got CT9a ones then the top hats might need swapping out.

There are also two different clevises. One has a spacer (welded, making it longer) and one doesn't. Doubt that's your issue, but figured I'd mention it.
