coilover height adjustment

[mohdmanutd]

hey guys dont know if this has been posted before but just need to enquire about it.....

just got some coilovers and i am familiar with the dampness adjustment but not very sure exactly how the height gets adjusted.....i know we have to turn the bottm thing to adjust the height but doesnt seem its right and dont want to risk anything with the suspension.....and how do i know all the car is on the same height?

thanks alot guys

what suspension?

normally you turn the lower spring perch to adjust the height

One way to know they are all on the same height would be to count the thread's on each coilover to your lower perch adjuster.

checking height you can get a rough idea by eyeballing the distance between the bottom collar and the lower perch under the spring. then when you put the wheels back on and drop the car back onto the ground you measure from the center cap to the wheel arch.

d2's are base adjustable, so just preload the spring into place so it doesnt move and then use the base to adjust height.And use a ruler to see if their all the same height.Do not sit there and count the threads.heheh
