adjusting the coilovers


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I have a set of cusco zero 2 coilovers installed in my car. I'm finding the ride a little too uncomfortable, especially considering a lot of the roads near me are full of potholes. The driveway to the garage at work is also scraping my front lip :\.

I'm looking at raising the ride height to make life a little easier. I have no idea as to how to do this though. Can you guys provide me with some instructions? or recommend a workshop in Sydney that can do this for me?

Thanks,

If you look in the picture below (best I could find on hand). Where the lower end of the spring sits is the spring seat and locking ring (both are blue in the picture). Do not adjust the spring. Below that is another notched locking ring, get a c-spanner and loosen that. Once that is loose undo the lower clevis (the lower mount for the strut). Adjust that to the to the extra height you want. Make sure to clean any gunk out of the threads before undoing everything as it can jam the rings up. Lock the clevis with the locking ring and you're done.

Remember if you change the height of the front you will need another front wheel alignment.
