ok, i know many of you guys are going to tell me to do a search, but i already did and found nothing...

i just got my tein ss coilovers, and after inatalling them the ride height is a little off... the back too high and no even in respect to left vs. right... the right back is higher
also the front left is a little lower than the front right, but i dont really know...
the point is i want to lower the rear and even out the eight but how hard is it to do... i have a good jack and stands, but i dont really know what to do
btw these are the ss model so they are one way adjustble, not the flex that are 2 way
any one wanna post a step by step?
ill be at mpj on saturday, maybe someone can help there...

 

hard to explain.... but you have to measure each side ... find reference points and measure each side... and adjust accordingly

edgar,

aim me if you want if im not on im asleep

 

id measure from the blue points on each side.. just make sure you measure the same way on both sides



edgar,

 

just go and get it corner wieghted...if you have the $$$...if not edgar set up a good start...I put the flex on my car and everything went well...good luck

ok, but actually adjusting the hight, do i loosen the bottom one first, then the top or both at the same time, i have no idea how to actually change the height, i understand how to make it the same... trial and error...

 

actually the guys suggesting corner weighing are right- provided you are looking for improved handling, the height adjustment is primarily there so that cars can be set up better balanced than stock.

But it's true you have a wide range of adjustment, so if you're more concerned about fender gap and "slammed" looks, go ahead and do it by trial and error.

And I think the two nuts are supposed to lock against each other, so loosen them from each other then adjust the height to your hearts content, but be sure to tighten them back up against each other when you're done so they don't move around while your driving

 

thanks for all of your help guys!!!!
