Tein SS Adjustment

**white_ep3_civic** · 30-08-2010 08:14 PM

I've done a search couldn't find any answers. I installed Tein SS in my euro this afternoon and the front is slammed and I can't raise it. I have adjusted the 2 rings from the bottom to the top but still no difference in height. I know that moving these rings changes the spring rate but there is no other way that I can see to adjust the height. Any help would be great.

This is how it sits now.

So no one know how these coilovers work?

if you have twisted the bottom spring perch higher on the shock body then that's the correct way.

Sure its the Tein SS n not Flex?

With my Tein SS, the 2 ring perch thinghys near the bottom, just spin em up and it raises the car.

Yeh defiantly Tein SS. I just thought maybe the springs have been mixed up with the front springs as I bought them second hand and didn't check them when I put the tops on. Ill have a look tomorrow

I have figured out the problem. When I received the springs they came with the back spring on the front and the front spring on the back. That's why the car was dropping down

oh, so you just gotta swap the springs back to front yeah?
didnt know the springs were diff sizes....LOL.

Not the physical size that is different. The spring rate is different. The fronts are 8kg and the rear's are 4kg. The 4kg's were on the front that is why i couldn't raise the front.
