It's been a while since I've been interested in the technical side of performance. So here it goes.

Back then spring and height adjustment weren't that common, on a affordable level anyway.
But there have been a few "budget" coilover systems showing up recently, that now have independent height and preload functions.
Usually found on higher end systems.

I've been looking around on the net and searching these forums to find some info. And so far I've learnt a few things but didn't find what I want.
This thread: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...hlight=preload
Good thread, it explained things pretty well but maybe I didn't understand it all.
Some things got me confused
Compressing the spring = preload. And by compressing a spring u also lower ride height/shorten suspension travel, yes? If that's the correct, some of the things I have read seem contradictory to this.

My question is, with this function now available on many coilovers. How does this translate to tune-ability. Can preloading have any positive affects on handling, taking into consideration types of braces, bars and tyres?

Or is it merely there to keep the spring in?

Further more, does anyone have a setup that'd like to share?
From tyre choice, suspension, etc, etc, to height, camber and toe?
State weight of vehicle too please

Having read some of people thoughts, they've come to the conclusion that the preloading function is.....useless

Hoping someone here has something more positive to say or maybe point me in the right direction

Thank you all and please excuse my engrish.
