It depends how far you wind them down.

Wind the spring seats down to the bottom, put your wheels back on and your done
Re: How to adjust coilovers? - Foxy-jim - 16-04-2012
As Dan said, put them to the bottom, then go from there!

Cars off the road for tonight bottom bot on rear shock had seized but we eventually got it off but took all our time so tomorrow I have to change brake pipe and change second shock straight over. Then done. I've adjusted front shocks some but don't know how much by as I forgot to measure at the start lol.
My coil overs are at technix too. They're very shiney!!!
Re: How to adjust coilovers? - Foxy-jim - 16-04-2012

How to adjust coilovers? - kentiiboii - 18-04-2012
Could any one so kindly get me the measurement from the middle of a centre cap to the arch on the front of a standard pug so I can figure how low mine is? Thanks kent.
Re: How to adjust coilovers? - samass - 19-04-2012
when on or off the ground?
Re: How to adjust coilovers? - kentiiboii - 19-04-2012
On the ground please mate. Centre of the wheel to arch.
Thanks.
Re: How to adjust coilovers? - samass - 19-04-2012

Re: How to adjust coilovers? - samass - 19-04-2012

samass Wrote:365mm n/s, 355mm o/shaha that's strange. But from that I think standard must be 355mm, as mine from that measurement is 315mm. I thought it looked 40mm.

Just gotta book it back in to Saxo parts for rear beam to be lowered as I been doing brake pipes for last couple days because most was seized.
Re: How to adjust coilovers? - samass - 19-04-2012
haha yep, think its cuz im a fat bastard and its sagged a bit! that, or its just old, tired springs. my 106 was the same, leant to the right.
but yeah, could always average it, call it 360 standard. 5mm dont make much diff anyhoo
nice. nothing more fun than seized pipes...
How to adjust coilovers? - kentiiboii - 19-04-2012
Well what's my excuse
mine should be on floor lol. I think another 3 turns on coilovers and I'll be happy. Then about 55-60mm on rear beam.
Re: How to adjust coilovers? - samass - 19-04-2012
how are you wanting on the front? nice and level or a bit of rake?
Re: How to adjust coilovers? - 4WayDiablo - 19-04-2012
with a big hammer, if that doesnt work.... get a bigger hammer
