What is the best way to adjust coilovers evenly if u don't have the flatest ground??

 

Start with them off the car and get them even. Get one corner where you like it height wise and remember how many turns it was exactly. Twist the other side the same amount of turns. Done

 

tape measure if they are on the car. measure the collars to a certain point on the coils

 

Yeah, they are already on the car.. Thanks guys

 

What kinda coils you get?

 

Stance true's..

 

Doesn't really work that way, the car isn't perfectly balanced, especially when you take into account how full the gas tank is and with driver in the car. Best bet is to set it at your desired height in general and then go park on flat ground and depending on if you want the car to be even with or without you in the car, have someone measure for you the distance from the fender to the ground on each corner. Then just make the necessary adjustments and it should be equal.

 

I did that before, guess i will do it that way again.. I wanted to see if there was a different way since my front fenders are pulled and i cant put my new unmolested fenders on before i adjust the suspension this weekend and im ocd.. lol

 

Ocd...ftw

 

 

Xet's got it right. Good chance your driver rear won't be = in height to your passenger rear. Really have to get the measurements of the car, not the coil.

If at all possible, roll the car forward or go for a short drive (10, 20 yards would be enough) between measurements / adjustments. Don't back the car up and measure, you'll be all screwed up (if you want it to be exact, difference of mms, but a difference).

 

This is true. As stated before even with the coilovers matched to each other there will probably be a height difference. It seems like there should be a better way but it really is just trial and error. Lots of lifting the car up and readjusting until you get it just right. And also, like previously mentioned, measure from the ground to the fender arch to get precise measurements. Hopefully you had an alignment recently so that both sides are even camber wise, otherwise you'll basically have to start from scratch when you get that done because it will throw off heights. Vicious cycle

 

pay a shop to corner balance your car when you get it aligned.

 

I was thinking of doing that..

 

Yeah. That's the only way to properly vel a car is to ner balance on a scale pad
