Reply to "Adjusting Ride Height - Shocks/Spring Tension"

bosswrenchMember

You probably need to jack up the corner you're trying to adjust before trying to turn the spring seats Unlike your bike, those may be 450-lb/inch springs in there. A little grease on the body-threads wouldn't hurt, either. Note that all this adjusting also changes the corner weight of that wheel plus the opposite one (e.g- the right front AND the left rear). So you can either get things looking right fairly quickly, or you can spend most of a Saturday trying to balence the car on a set of scales, which is what such shocks were designed to do. Then drive the car and start playing with the jounce & rebound setting knobs till it feels good to you for your type of driving. Also remember, the settings you finally get will change with time & temperature
