I don't know how I'm gonna get it home.. I probably should pic it up before u go to Hawaii.. We might have to raise the front so I don't destroy my lip

 

i told you! then youll have wheel gap!

 

I know but only until u get back.. I'm not gonna drive it until I get an alignment..

 

wait what? you want me to raise the front so u can drive to your house and park it and then u want me to lower it again when i get home?

 

Lol I don't but they are repaiving the roads on the way to your house so they have huge dropoffs.. Might just get the keys off u and when they are done I will pick it up..

 

Okay the last time I had coilovers was on my integra back in the day, it only had 2 rings, one adjustment and one to lock, with these that frankie posted, there's 3 rings, so exactly how do you make adjustments using these truetype coilovers?

Also is there a method or technique you guys use to set the rings in a proper position to get a nice even drop all around without having to go back n forth with the trial and error method?

 

3 rings, one is the lock collar. the other two are for adjusting. you lock one against the other and then either turn the bottom or the top depending on if you want to raise or lower.

to get an even drop, i measure from the top of the hat to the bottom mount. i think we set frankies at around 18.5 inches all around

 

Okay so let me clarify. To lower your car you will want to thread the lowest ring up. So for example if I wanted to drop my car exactly 1 inch then I would have to raise the lowest ring 1 inch, and then i thread the very top ring all way down until it locks in place with the lowest ring?

 

thread the lowest ring(lock ring) up one inch, they lock the next highest ring (2nd) up against the top ring(3rd) and then you would grab the 3rd ring with your spanner wrench and adjust it down untill the bottom locking ring (1st) touches the black strut housing

 

Thanks erklep. Do you know how low the drop is pre-set to from the factory when you first get your stances? Meaning installing the coilovers without adjusting anything. I just need to know how much of a drop that is.

 

n/p man. nah. im not sure. i adjusted mine before putting them b/c its so much work to adjust them once they are in the car. just trying to raise or lower your car one inch will have your arm worn out
