Ok so I'll try to rotate the top ring. Cause for the front he rotate the second and third so basically he adjusted the height by twisting the second ring so that is wrong?Quote:

im so confused cause this other person has 3 thread in his one and the people were saying to unlock the bottom one and twist the whole coilover down?

Thanks
OK, I always count the two rings holding the spring 1 and 2. The third one at the bottom is for the base, not the spring. Up spec coil overs are not just spring height adjustable but also shock body adjustable to a greater range of adjustment. Without going too deep into it, its to do with setting height of the car without disturbing the spring tension/rate.Quote:

As for the rear, like most medium level coilovers, are only height adjustable via spring. There fore there is only two rings. One to adjust the height and one to secure it (locking ring). Normally the bottom one acts a locking ring.
But since yours is down all at way, you can only go up. Twist the top one up and then follow it with the bottom one. To get 1 finger gap on the rear, adjust it so there is about 10-15mm of thread under the bottom ring.
See pic below. When adjusted, both lower and raises the height of shock....therefore car!
But Pic 1, adjusts the car via the spring height, therefore changing the spring tension and rebound ability etc.....Pic 2 adjusts the height of the car without changing spring characteristics.
alright mad so simply just twist the 1st thread on my back to unlock it and then adjust it by rotating the second thread to raise it up and down?
Rotate the top ring to get desired height and lock it with bottom ring!Quote:

so i got 2 c spanners one on 1. and another one on 2. so i tried twisting the bottom one(2.) anti clockwise and the top(1.) clockwise to try to unlock it but its like not even budging with wd40.
After a few attempts now when i try to turn it both 1. and 2. are moving at the same time. is this meant to happen or is it still locked?
