Yeah, but with 17" wheels I would have about a 3 inch wheel gap?

hold on, chill out, think about something else. Go back outside tomorrow and look at the entire thing. Ive seen cars with super drifts and they are on the floor, not a problem with ride height adjustment.

my s14 is on 17's flush with a pull and its slammed to the floor my lip draps everywhere, frame sits about 1 1/2 inches (2 fingers) from the ground. First raise the bottom mount up then lower the spring section preload and you should be set!!
 
ok will use your tein diagram to help ok?:

first loosen the lock nut right above section C. loosen it and screw upward. then screw section C mount upward to a determined height! then use the lock nut to secure all inplace. if the car is still not low enough and the the bottom section C is maxed out and cant be raised anymore, u must adjust the spring preload!

adjust spring preload: between sections B & E there are the 2 locking nuts, loosen them and screw them downward by doing this the springs preload will lessen and the cars ride height will lower aswelll! then lock the nuts back inplace to keep from adjustments from moving!!!! its not that diffucult!! i really suggest that you use a tape measurement to record before and after adjustments on all sides to make right and left are equal!!! and for futher adjustments!!!!!

Ok... I think i got it. Soo my suspension might not go down anymore becuase of my prelaod. soo when I loosen that it might loosen the entire thing.. Okay dokay. I think i got it. I'll try it tomorrow.
 
Hey everyone. I've been at this for 2 hours tonight. I tried everything but taking it off completely, I unbolted the bottom and tried screwing it up, it wont go up, I tried loosening my preload, everything, nothing made a difference. I talked to a guy at XAT and he said that I should take the entire thing off, take it all apart and reset all the springs and whatnot then put it back together. Soo I'm looking at it and two of the springs are flipflopped from the diagram.

In the image there is a thick spring and the a thinner one underneath it, on mine the thinner one is on top of the thick spring... Will that make a difference???? I have no idea? Someone PLEASE HELP ME!!
 
here i fixed you plain ass diagram so that people can explain it a lil better ;)

so to my understanding you have tried lowering it F into H by loosening G right? So have you tried lowering D down F by loosening E?? :confused:
 
after you lower the shock all the way down. to go further you need to lower the spring. i am on tein he's and i am lower than most people on here if not the lowest. i have me some 2" of sag in the rear. and the fronts are coller to coller to coller.

you bottomed out the adj. on the shock. to go lower lower the spring.
 
No, I was told not to mess with dropping D down to F...

Wont that make my car alot looser???

Ok, I have the computer outside with me, soo I am going to try lowering the spring... How far down should I go??? Like 1 inch? two inches???
