omg

 

Classic!

 

Awesome! Im going to try that for the baseline and let the shop handle the rest with the corner balance.

Thank you much!

 

Confirmed we're doing a couple adjustment videos when this coming batch arrives!

 

Nice. I really want to corner balance. I had my eye on a set of corner weight scales at the pawn shop down the street about a month ago. Thinking about goin down there this weekend and making them an offer if they still have them.

 

got corner balanced the other day! im sitting at .9 lbs out from perfect 50/50 weight with me sitting in the car!

also learned that my car weighs 2974 lbs without me in it o__O looks like i need some sparco buckets to drop that **** down!

 

How significant would 5 full turns be in terms of ride height?

 

I think its about 1/2-3/4 inch. Guess and check was my method. I had to readjust 3 times before I got it right.

 

thanks I am just trying to learn from you guys to try to get it done in 2 trys or less lol...

Im looking to go a little lower than yours imma try 30/40 turns and see if thats where I wanna be.

 

Take a calipers and measure 5 threads on the shock body, there's your answer. I only had to adjust once after the initial install because if you do the math you can determine your ride height beforehand instead of trial and error.

 

ehh my forgestars and tires are sitting higher than my stock wheels and bald tires so I need to make adjustments again. And these things are a pain in the *** to adjust.

 

cool, for some reason I thought that the distance you raise/lower the bottom coller was different that what actual ride height due to the geometry of the suspension.

 

If you keep the spring preload the exact same and only change the ride height adjustment then that'll be the case. The rear is a little tricky but the front is easy.
