BEFORE INSTALLATION
​
  1. If your coilovers are exposed to rain, sand, salt etc. please apply anti-rust to the areas on the shaft that touch the large locking ring, small locking rings, and the bottom mount.

  2. Coilovers do not come pre-loaded or height adjusted out of the box.

 You must do this yourself. Please follow the steps below.

​

  1. Pre-Load Adjustment: Rotate the large locking collar counter-clockwise until the spring has no play. Rotate the small locking collar counter-clockwise until it touches the large locking ring. Then Rotate the large locking ring to compress the spring (A) 5mm. Lastly bring the small locking collar up to lock pre-load.

 

   EX: The total length of sping (A) is 180mm before compression.

        The spring should be compressed to 175mm. Too much or not             enough pre-load will result in unusual sound and damage to the         coilovers.

​

    2. Please tighten the screws (G) of the upper mount and then                   install the screws of bracket. (F) (adjust to fixed position, and                 tighten the screws)

 

    3.Adjusting Height: loosen the small ring, (E), and rotate the spring         and shaft counter-clockwise (D) to adjust. Tighten the small                 locking collar (E) after adjustment is completed.

​

To Lower: loosen the small ring (E), and rotate clockwise (C) to adjust. Tighten the small ring (E) after adjustment.
