[QUOTE="speed2horizon, post: 4543743, member: 30831"] This is what u'll have: spring is no preloaded. Only the height is. If the spring are, u won't be able to PLAY AROUND with the double height adjustment rings. As u adjust the rings height, the shaft will go ip n down accordingly. No spring compression effect. This is what we do. We measure the thread length from the lowest point of the thread to the ring bottom. We have all adjust to the same height. Next have ur car jacked up and have the 4 coilovers installed. Ground ur tyres n check for height balance measuring height from the ground to the top of the wheel arc. If they are not, Reduce(rings down) or increase(rings up) the rings height to achieve a balance wheel arc height. Once 4 wheels achieved a balance height, determine if the height suits ur requirement. If the are, u can tighten the rings by holding the upper ring and turn the lower ring to create the jam effect between 2 rings so that the height will stay permanent. If the are not, Reduce(rings down) or increase(rings up) the rings height. Do count the numbers or turns u've adjusted. Do remember the number of turns u've adjusted and apply the same number or turns to the remaining coilover. Double check for balance height. Once height is confirm, tighten all the rings with the method mentioned earlier. Damping rate adjustment: for best effect, what I normally do was turn to the hardest. Drive around, and reduce it daily until an acceptable hardness. Once acceptable hardness achieved, stay with it until u change ur setting again. Do count the numbers or turns u've adjusted. if the height suits ur requirement. If they are, leave it as it is. If they aren't jack up and have ur tyre removed. Reduce(rings down) or increase(rings up) the rings height. Do count the numbers or turns u've adjusted. [/QUOTE]
