what are we really adjusting....which parts....the bottom rings or the top rings...does anyone have pics? of the lowest settings for front and back?

which to adjust?

This bottom part only (the BLACK RING) or the part where my THUMB is touching?





The orange rings.....?




What about the space between my two fingers?






What are the right adjustable height of the bottom black piece and the space with thread from orange rings? the displacements?

im sure someone can answer you better than me, but, here i go
1- where his right hand is, you just want to squeez the spring a little bit (so its not loose)(and you dant want to change the spring load by lowering or raising the suspension)
2- you install the coilover, notice that they are not the same height as the stock one ( for the height, i just guested it and adjust after)

3- make sure that both front are the same height (rear too)

4- put your mags on and put your car on the floor (the more even the floor is the bether it is)
5- mesure how much you want to raise it or lower it
6- when you want to change the ride height, you dont need to desassamble the hub and every thing
you just need to get your wheel off
7- first thing you want to do is loosen the bottom ring (a lot)(raise her a inch or two)

8- if you want to lower it, take the 'key', put it on the top ring and 'unscrew' it
(the tread will 'enter' in the hub and this will lower the car)
(when you work with the top two ring, you always want them to work against the other one, since you dont want to change the load on the spring)
(you will understand this part when you will do it laugh.gif )

9- if you want to raise it, take the 'bottom top ring' and 'screw it'

10- thighten the bottom ring and make sure that both front are the same height (and both rear)
11- put your wheels back and if it sit the height you want.......






....... LOWER IT MORE laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif
12- ANJOY

P.S. i am no professionnal and this is what i learned by my self (im sure the're might have thing i could of do better)
