How to adjust coilover ride height THE RIGHT WAY

This has been a topic of hot debate lately, and sadly, a lot of people aare getting this wrong. So I thought I’d take the opportunity whilst lowering a friend’s car to show you the correct way to adjust ride height using the spring seat adjustment method.

By adjusting the ride height using the spring seat position, we alter the amount of bump travel available in proportion to the change in ride height, which avoids issues like tyre to body/chassis contact.

Some other manufacturers use base height adjustment due to sloppy design or other factors, so pelase check with your manufacturer BEFORE you follow these instructions in order to ensure this matches the correct steps for your setup.

DON’T FORGET TO GET AN ALIGNMENT WHEN YOU’RE DONE!
