1. How do I adjust my ride height?
The ride height on the majority of our coilovers is designed to be adjusted through the lower mount, NOT by turning the spring perch. The lower mounts are installed on the bottom of the threaded shock body. As you spin the lower mount further onto the shock body, you are shortening the overall length of the entire coilover assembly, which results in a lowered vehicle ride height. Once you have turned the lower mount to your desired setting, tighten the locking collar against it to lock your settings in place. To raise your car, twist the lower mount counterclockwise making the overall length of the coilover longer, thus resulting in a higher ride height. For safety reasons, always make sure at least 30% of the lower mount is threaded onto the shock body.
This design is extremely beneficial to performance enthusiasts and those looking to get the most out of their suspension tuning as it allows you to raise and lower your vehicle without interfering with the shock’s compression or travel characteristics.
Certain applications are not designed to have an adjustable lower mount and are raised or lowered by adjusting the spring perch. In most cases, a helper spring is present to ensure proper adjustability without sacrificing ride quality. To adjust the ride height, lower the spring perch assembly by twisting it counterclockwise and giving the assembly more room to compress, resulting in a lowered ride height.
