My mechanic tried to raise my car but apparently it doesnt work cause there are only two rings on it. can anyone help me out here?

The front one has 3 rings. no idea he tried it for like 2 hours so yeah maybe i'll give it a try ==' going to die hahha..Quote:

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?
this is mine with 2 threads?
http://pic70.picturetrail.com:80/VOL.../372971595.jpg
3 threads here

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:
Originally Posted by k0e1
With yours, (being flex) its just the fronts which has this. What I'm saying is, your car have been lowered (heaps). And the springs should be tensioned relative to the height of the car. If it has been done, I would dwell on it too much, so long as its at your desired height.
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?
be easier if u took the whole shock off and did it
way too big of a job hahhaQuote:

turn the ring to move the spring up to raise the car or u can turn the bottom purch down to make it higher also im pretty sure but yeah will post some pics soon
Get spanner and turn to right (see pic). This may take a little effort. Because your is down all the way, don't worry too much about unlocking the bottom one at this stage. Just use c spanner to hold in place!Quote:

DUE to inundation of PM inbox, i have reuploaded the EP3 Service Manual HERE :) and im pretty sure there's unlimited downloads :) so i hope nobody misses out this time!
BUMP: Earlier question.. do facelift headlights fit on the pre-facelift without need for a new bar etc?
direct fit but need to redo wiring to work
Like mugen B16B said you will need to redo wiring for the high beam to work.
what kind of wiring? and what is the difficulty level on 1 to 10.. 1 being easy and 10 being 'oh my god eff this im buying a toyota'
Nightrider or George will be the right person to explain. It's something to do with an extra wire to make the high beam to work.
yup ask Nightryder or Nepolian for some help mayb they might b able to help u
just ask them to make a wiring diagram of the colors of which ever cable u will need to cut and redo

Nah you just need the Inverted Tie Rods. No need for the DC5's.
