Adjusting Height On Coilovers

[n15m0]

Hi all,

Decided to raise my rears today as camber was sitting at around -2.4

I wound the two rings DOWN, to raise the height from A to B. Somehow after putting everything back together...the height hasn't seemed to have gone up at all if anything it actually looked lower....

I am pretty sure winding the rings down is to raise and winding them up is to lower...am I correct?

There is still some adjustment left for my rear camber so will be going in for another wheel allignment next week.

hi, sorry not relating to your queries but can i ask how your wind the suspension? what tools did you use?

cheers

winding down = lower

winding up = raising

winding down = lower

winding up = raising

Are u 100% sure????? Without a doubt???? Coz the way I look at it, winding it down decompresses the springs...ie raising the height...

So the way I have it at the moment is its at its LOWEST height???

Winding it up compresses the springs...ie lowering it...

"The use of 2 x C spanners to wind the rings up or down"

This is the info that I got from doing a google taken from

How do I adjust height on my coilovers?

Most of our coilover systems include an adjustable lower mount that can spin up or down on the shock casing. Spin the lower mount up to lower and down to raise. Than it must be secured by locks on either side of the lower mount.

Second opinion anyone??? Before I take my wheels off again

the two rings (green) there has to be thread under that to be raising it up!......looks like you lowered it max...just go the opposite way now

dark is 100% correct.

Think about it....if the weight of the car remains the same, how can the springs 'uncompress' just by the position of those rings??

Thanks Dark and everyone else! BOO to google!!!

Been starring at the damn pic the whole night and thinking how it works...

Will wind it up tommorow!

Cheers.
