12. With the included Allen key, secure the cable end to the knob on the strut with LocTite on the Allen set
screw. Make sure it is good and tight. Turn the knob to the left to 0, then set to 14 clicks for an aggressive
street setting.
13. Re-assemble upper spring rubber seat, coil spring, black lower spring seat, lower lock ring and lock mount to
complete. Make sure the spring end is precisely in the end of the UPPER spring seat. **NOTE** Adjust the
spring seats to compress coil spring 10mm and lock up tight. This is to keep the spring tight with full
extension when the vehicle is in the air. It is more important to have the springs adjusted identically
left/right. HAND tighten the lower spring perch until it is uncomfortable to turn further. Then add 5 full turns
of the ring with the supplied wrench. You can have it slightly more compressed, as long as they are the
same. All ride height adjustments to be done with lower clevis mount. Set the lock ring to hold the lower
perch in place.
14. An easy way to adjust the coil height is to thread the adjusting nut upward until there is no endplay on the
shock. Then thread up the lock nut. Then turn the adjuster nut until there is a 5mm gap between the lock nut
and adjuster nut. Then tighten the lock nut using the spanner tools. Then what I like to do is measure the
distance accurately between the lower lock nut and the bottom of the lock nut. In the example car, that
distance was 92mm. I then adjusted the other rear coil seat and locknut to exactly 92mm. They are both
precise!
15. Now is the time to set
the height presets. An
aggressive back end we
will set up the heights
for a 659mm (20 inch
wheels) from lower
wheel lip to through
center, to the top of the
fender opening. For
vehicles with 20 inch
wheels, set the distance
between the 2 lock nuts
to be approximately
30mm. SPECIAL NOTE:
THE ADJUSTMENT IS
NOT A PRECISE
ADJUSTMENT. THE
VARIATIONS IN
TOLERANCES CAN MAKE
A BIG DIFFERENCE IN
ADJUSTABILITY HEIGHTS.
