Tips on setting up new coliovers. - Click HERE for Original Thread

EDISKRAD EHT
I just installed some BC Racing Coilovers, and I am looking for some tips or suggestions on how I should set them up initially. I'm a complete noob with adjusting these things.



Should I just raise and lower the ride height until they dont rub? (The fronts rub)

Or should I mess with the spring preload then deal with ride height?


Any help would be appreciated.

Adjust ride height as desired.

Is it best to adjust ride height by the top nuts? (Holding the spring)

Or the bottom single nut?

Hey at least I know how to put my own in my car!:asshole:

You will see when you put yours in. There's 2 ways to raise and lower them, but one messes with spring preload. So:p

Here's a good link I found,
