Pre-loading question???
I just got my Megan racing springs. followed a good DIY butmy question is this. I only installed 1 rear spring so far and when I put the wheel back on and lowered it back down it did not look any lower. Do I need to pre-load the rears? if so, how? (I only put 1 on tonite cause wife is going out of town tommorrow and I will have time to do the rest then but I wanted to make sure I was doing it right first) Thanks in advance for everyones help!!!

I've never done anything special when I modified my rear suspension. I just lower it, then move the car a bit and it goes right down. Have you moved the car at all since you installed?
Only thing I load when doing the suspensions are the upper a-arm bolts (2 17mm each side) on the front.

You aren"t really trying to "preload" anything. You just want to tighten the bushings at the proper position so that they aren't under stress when the car is in the new position
You can either jack the corner to the correct height and then tighten up the bushings...or you can let the car down and tighten them on the ground....does the same thing
