First time

^^ lol

ok, im going to install my coils( first time doing so) i know its not hard and iv read plenty of write ups, and have all the tools available.(just waiting for the sun to drop)

but my question is, Are there any tips or things u guys would recommend while doing this? tips?

like for example: setting ride height?


thnx in advance!

 

[green_machine]

i adjusted my height by putting the coilovers at the lowest setting and then measuring up to the height i wanted

 

[Slide~Or~Die]

thats how i was planning on doing it! :laugh:lmao other info would be great!

nd its funny cuz all of the "write ups" i read dnt specify a good way to adjust ride height lol but everything else is pretty straight foward i guess.

thnx:bigthumbu

if u can stick the head of ur penis in between the tire and fender its too high go low

 

[Slide~Or~Die]

lol^^ ill be low, but my set up is going to be changing alot in the next few weeks, so im just going for drivability(if thats a word) for now, but it will still be low.



for reference if other First Timers r looking at this, depending on ur coil, the collar(spiny thing pressed against the spring) should hold the spring firm, not compressing the spring at all. correct me if im wrong.



oo nd this thread isnt only related to setting ride height, was just an ex.:bigthumbu

Yes and no. The left fronts of mine were a pita but the right fronts came off with ease.

not to big of an issue tho^^ breaker bar or good leverage will do the trick, nd if ur in a shop well air tools r always help full
