your cars looking good tho lol thats not so bad ,
good to hear you got them in with no issues,

heres mine, sad thing is i havent had it out yet since last summer lol



first it was my body man prolonged the paint date,
had to wait a little under 2 months just for my coilovers to be shipped to me
then the bushing and a-arm "cone" things wanted to give me a hard time,

i also ordered stance rear extenders for adjustments, and they dont even fit my coilovers
i think they ordered me the wrong ones..

i will have all the parts to fix it tomorrow, then its off to paint, after that i have to find someone to roll my rear fenders, get an alignment, slap my new wheels on and im good to go lol

ok so all the body parts are off the car and being painted,
the coilovers are now in, but now i have to take it all apart and adjust it because its too low, by the looks of it once my front bumper and lip go on it will be right on the ground, and in the rear my exhaust is only a coffee cup height off the ground. the rear fenders need to be rolled, and another question im pretty sure im adjusting the rear correctly.
but do you adjust the spring seat until you think that's where you want it then adjust the shock so its close then jack up the rear and install the bolt, i just want to make sure there's proper tension on both the shock and the spring,

is there a easy way on how to measure out how much higher i should go, on the front and the rear, or should i just raise the front and the rear a 0.5-1" and see how it looks then

here are some pictures. i wont really know exactly what i need for height until i get my body parts back. and i would like to put 10mm-15mm spacers in the rear what do you think?




pinch weld no side skirts installed yet

muffler shot, as you can see the intermediate pipe is lower

(dont mind the curb damage, done by last owner lol)

Make sure mid ring is locked with lower spring seat then turn the lower ring how high you wanna go.
Then to adjust length turn the mid ring till so the whole threaded part is moving

What are the offsets again, I was going to respond to PM but my internet here sucks and I'm impatient lol

As for adjusting the coils, I usually get a caliper and measure exact width between the collars, unless your car sits lopsided like most of ours do. The measure the difference in MM when then the car is on the ground. I measure from wheel lip to fender, then subtract the difference and add it to whichever sits higher or lower.

If you don't own a digital calipers I suggest getting one. They're a handy tool for working on the car.
