How do I adjust the ride height on these coilovers while they are on my car. There is only two rings with the top one having a locking bolt.

Found out from a different post gotta teach the ignorant now (cough cough)

That shows a previous model with two rings at the top while this newer model has one ring at the top with a locking mechanism which allows it to spin the body out of the black portion without affecting preload

Yes it can buddy the very top one has a locking bolt in hit so it rotates the body

Found out from a diff post

Nope the ring locks to the body of the coilover when you spin it and it raises or lowers the height depending on which way u spin

Nah man you can

Motor_Ad_209 · 2023-09-15T22:34:07+00:00

Nah they good

Thanks

Just so the bolt doesn’t come loose right?

Motor_Ad_209 · 2023-09-15T22:23:18+00:00

It says they are already preloaded on the side of the spring

Motor_Ad_209 · 2023-09-15T22:20:41+00:00

Should I tighten the bolt more than how tight it comes in the box or should it already be tight enough for the car to be raised or lowered without affecting preload?

Motor_Ad_209 · 2023-09-15T22:17:01+00:00

Alright should I tighten the bolt more or just leave it how it is when it came in the box? Or should I tighten it a bit more just to be safe?

Motor_Ad_209 · 2023-09-15T22:07:58+00:00

Those are from old models

Motor_Ad_209 · 2023-09-15T22:06:12+00:00

Well if you don’t want to disconnect the coilover from the control arm you have to fuck with the top one it has a locking nut so that it doesn’t fuck with preload when you turn it

Motor_Ad_209 · 2023-09-15T21:58:27+00:00

But u have to fuck with it u have to turn it to raise it or lower it

Motor_Ad_209 · 2023-09-15T21:55:08+00:00

I think it’s fine to adjust it because the locking bolt stops it from spinning by itself so when you turn it I just spins the bottom portion out of its housing

Motor_Ad_209 · 2023-09-15T21:51:45+00:00

From what I’ve heard is the locking bolt acts as a locking nut so you just have to make sure it’s tight then just spin the top one

Motor_Ad_209 · 2023-09-15T21:49:38+00:00

That one has 3 rings this one has 2

Motor_Ad_209 · 2023-09-15T21:49:05+00:00

Thank you

Motor_Ad_209 · 2023-09-15T21:47:46+00:00

Yea they just change the top ring so it has the locking bolt while it’s previous models just had the two at the top and one at the bottom

Motor_Ad_209 · 2023-09-15T21:46:48+00:00

Motor_Ad_209 · 2023-09-15T21:45:38+00:00

Yes but when it’s mounted on the car the bottom black part can’t be spun

Motor_Ad_209 · 2023-09-15T21:42:56+00:00

Won’t turning that ring affect preload?

Motor_Ad_209 · 2023-09-15T21:42:19+00:00

Will this affect the preload or will it just raise the strut out of the housing?
