Coilover problem

Yep everything seems pretty much normal. Actually my strut bolts stick up ALOT further out of the CC plate, but I wanted to make sure they wernt in a bind and compressed too much lol....after having my tokico snap on my I want to take 0 chances.

As far as your ride height is concerned, all you have to do is jack up one side of your car at a time, remove your tire, then get a C clamp and adjust it to hook into those slots on the adjuster, and then turn away Mark where it started and turn it until its about 3/4s of an inch from where you started....then repeat on the otherside. Problem solved

So you used a C-Clamp as a wrench for the coilerover adjuster nut?

Thats right....worked great on my QA1 coilovers. Wont work though on my MM coilovers, so I had to buy the $10 wrench...it has little tiny holes vs big slots. I bet to MAKE people buy their wrench LOL.

Finally I got them pretty well to stock height. I just unbolted the top of the shock and lowered the the A-Arm down. Then I adjusted the coilover up until barely a little bit of the strut shaft came out the top coil over cap. Then I raised the A-arm up until I could Get the top nut back on and torqued it down

Sorry about the quality.
