Moog CC break-in

[SmoknHondaOwnrs]

I did a search and came up with nothing so....

I was wondering how long it takes for the moog CCs to break-in. I just installed them and my car is sitting pretty low as it is. I dont want them to sink much more than they are. I cut umm...2 hehe coils off. How much further are they gonna go?

Pics?

Well once the car starts to bottom out, you cant go much further.... So there's your answer

Ive had my cut MOOGs on for more than 3 years and 40k miles now.

The rears have settled a little, a whopping 3/8 of an inch.

The fronts have remained how they were when they were first installed.


They do seem a bit softer, but that is probably attributed to the struts wearing in and wearing out as well.

I am VERY surprised that the Monroe Sensatrac struts have lasted this long. And they show no signs of failure.

Drop the car off a building... twice.

"broken" in.

1.go to a open parking lot.
2.drive in tight circles to the right.
3.drive in tight circles to the left.
should settle them in some.

Well, now thinking about it. I hope the rear will settle just a little. I think this thing looks awesome now though! I love it

Like my GEN 2 spoiler gap? lol

 

[ty91sho]

Is that 2 coils off front AND back?

 

[SmoknHondaOwnrs]

Its about 2 coils. Ill take pics of the leftover coil to show exaclt how much.

 

[SHOtime2511]

front looks good,the rear is a little too low for me.

You should put a mustang spoiler on there. It looks better IMO.

Anyone go from 89 stock to the monroe/moog combo? How does it compare?

You also have your strut tab's modified, correct?

I have 1.5 out of the front of mine, and 1 out of the rear. Guess i need to go cut the tabs a bit. My front isnt that low....

What struts are you running?

EDIT: pic-


How much of a drop did you get by modifying the strut tabs? I'd be happy with .5''. And thats about all i can spare till i get some 225/50's on the car, or a 16x7'' wheel in the 225/55's.

I purchased a set of Moog CC's a couple months ago for my wife's car. I was surprised to find that the coils are thinner by about 1mm, compared to a set of Moogs I had bought a year ago.

Once installed, they settled an additional 1/4" within a few days. The ride is also noticeably softer than the stouter Moogs of old.

Front, 3/8 of an inch MAX.

Rears, as much as youd want. You can also RAISE the strut in the knuckle is the rears if you want.

Do you have the part numbers handy for reference?

Once I have part numbers, Ill submit this to my MOOG CC page. If you case is not an isolated one, we might have a problem!

Yep....just the front though I got about 3/4 of an inch out of it.

cc839 / cc858. These are the same ones I usually get. I will go measure the coil thickness of new vs. old. Be back in a bit.
