Coilover shock preload help in Phoenix

Hey guys!

After installing my Tein coilover's I started hearing/feeling all sorts of strange noises. A buddy of mine said it's probably because I haven't preloaded them correctly. If there's anyone in the Phoenix area I'm located in Chandler I'd appreciate it if maybe we could meet up and you can give me any tips/pointers regarding this issue.

Thanks in advance!

you need to find someone that has a corner weighing setup... then adjust the left to right corners to be as close as possible then the front to rears... then get an expert to drive it and final tune each corner to get it right.... people seem to think you can just slap on adj coil overs and crank the ring a few times to get the full benefit of them - not to just lower the car but to cure and fine tune the car's balance

Hoping someone local has this experience.
