FAQs

What is the recommended spring rate for street use?

The MXR-SLC kit comes with a balanced spring rate of 10 kg/mm (560 lbs/in) front and rear, which is suitable for a blend of sporty performance and street comfort.

Can I adjust the camber with these coilovers?

No, these coilovers use standard rubber top mounts and do not include adjustable camber plates. Camber adjustments would require additional aftermarket components.

What is the total range of height adjustment?

The MXR-SLC coilovers allow for a lowering range of 1 to 3 inches from the stock ride height.

How do I adjust the damping force?

Damping is adjusted via a knob located on the top of the coilover unit (usually accessible after removing the strut tower brace). There are 24 distinct levels of adjustment available.

Are these coilovers suitable for track days?

While they offer significant adjustability for improved performance, the lack of adjustable camber plates may limit optimal track alignment. They are primarily designed for street use with enhanced sporty characteristics.

What is the warranty period for MXR-SLC coilovers?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please refer to your purchase documentation or contact the seller for details regarding the warranty policy.

How much does the full kit weigh?

The complete coilover suspension kit weighs approximately 21.98 kg (48.45 lbs).

Troubleshooting

Clunking or rattling noises from the suspension.

Ensure all mounting hardware is tightened to the correct torque specifications. Check that springs are seated correctly and that no components are loose. Verify that the damping adjustment knob is securely in place.

Uneven ride height between wheels.

Confirm that the height adjustment collars are set to the same position on both sides of the axle. Re-check all locking rings and ensure they are securely fastened.

Harsh ride quality despite soft damping settings.

Verify spring preload is set within the recommended range (7-10 mm). Ensure the damping adjustment knob is functioning correctly and not stuck. Consider if the chosen damping setting is appropriate for the road conditions.

Coilovers appear to be leaking fluid.

Inspect the shock body and seals for any signs of damage or leakage. If a leak is confirmed, the affected coilover may need to be serviced or replaced. Contact customer support for assistance.
