Rear spring platform height adjustment

[ac427]

I noticed that Ground Control make an adjustable height rear spring platform, that is adjustable on the car via the hole in the rear camber arm.

Do any other manufacturers make an equivalent 'on car' adjustable product like this?

I’ve had the Rogue ones since 2012 and they’re still working well. Super easy to adjust the height.

Thank you both

Make sure whichever you order from actually has them in stock…they're the same product, so pick your ID and just confirm availability

Thanks. They appear to be bare metal looking at the pictures on the RE website.

How are they doing with corrosion?

Thank you. The only difference i could see is that the GC part is powder coated and the RE one doesn't appear to have any rust protection.

Do you have either make fitted to your car?

I just got the Rogue Eng ones just last week after 6 months from ordering

They revised the threaded adjuster to be shorter for easier adjustability and not get in the way since the axle almost blocks the area entirely

The base plates are raw metal, which was surprising to see the job half-done, but plan on unscrewing the assembly and just spraying them in por15

Six months!
I presume it may be the same from GC if they are all made by the same company.

When you say they made the adjuster screw shorter. Did mean the head of the adjustment screw only or the overall length too?

I am just concerned that the maximum height of the adjustment and ride height may have been reduced?

[HennyM3]

Shorter where it protrudes under the arm, not overall length
Also the head of adjustment they reduced down to 14mm from 16mm, easier to get the socket on

I thought about these but how often do I change the rear ride height?

I don't understand how these articulate either?

I've considered these many times but kaiv posted this video years ago (concerning the GC ones) when I had a question and promptly rained on my parade. Perhaps by now they have fixed the issue or maybe not. Not sure on rogue.

That doesn't look good. I hope there have improvements in the 10 years since the video was made.

It's only to get the rear ride height correct. The bonus is you don't have to keep taking the tear suspension apart while you are getting it set to the correct height. Everything stays in place.

Once it's set all good.

To raise or lower the ride height, you put a ratchet on the bolt head from underneath.
