^Really?

You don't need to preload a coilover....

You adjust the shock body which changes ride height.

It's easier to do it when it's off the car completely, but what you can do is unbolt the bottom mount, the 2 control arm mounts, as well as the sway bar endlink and pull the bottom part of the shock off the hub. You twist the very bottom of the shock and it turns to make the shock body higher or lower...

Go to Rishie's thread in the Vender section, he has a video of how to adjust ride height.

 

^^^^I saw the video, that's how I adjusted the coilovers 3in lower than my old set up, but the ride height still the same.

By the way I haven't installed the front coilovers yet, just the rears.

 

ive looked for the vid and cant find it can someone help me out

thank you

 

just a quest after you adjust the shock do how tight do you want the spring?

 

sorry for the noob question this is my first coilovers , but i am installing with a mechanic fyi, i am just courious for general purpose

 

^ when tightening the collars they could be hand tight then tighten the 2 collars together. Don't only use the wrenches because this will cause more pre load and make for a much much more stiffer ride then would be needed.

 

Did you get everything figured out?

I know you PMd me that you were going to ask me questions on them but you never followed up.


And for those who think they are rough...well I was the one to R&D these in Chicago with Stance. However my final version is different. This is due to me actually having an RX8 and not just selling products for our cars.


If anyone is interested in my set up on the GR+'s LMK. Mine are uber smooth. And for those who think these will not be good in SOLO and are intended for the average user I definitely have trophies to back that up.


pineapplesoymilk, hit me up or call me if you have any questions, even though you did not buy the product form us I always still help people out.
