Rep Power: 0 All you do is jack up the side you want to raise or lower. There is a gold ring you turn it left for down or right for up. It even tells you on it. It is easy. Take about 10 minutes.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 it comes with a little allans wrench. like he said, jack it up, loosen the screw and raise or lower the collar. i find the easiest way to tell that they are even is to count the threads.

Rep Power: 0 Try measuring the distance from tire to wheel well on each corner. Sometimes weight displacement can be off a little on one side more than the other. Best way to have a car that's level!

Rep Power: 0 count the thread works and measuring a wheel well distance work too! You must always consider weight distribution. Coz if not, even you have all the same thread count on all four your car will still be uneven

Yeah that's true. But once you get a thread count on all four sides when the car is even, you can pretty much calculate for the next time. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Dude, thats sounds good to me, I'm probably gonna get that setup. Just remember, if you raise or lower your car, you should get it aligned. We had a problem with that on an accord I'm building. The tires kept getting messed up as time went by. So we got it to the height we finally wanted it, and aligned it, and it's been great. Good Luck!

Rep Power: 0 get INGALLS... it goes for about $230-$300 all 4 wheels with/alignment,installation...
its just if you got ground-control "coilovers" whats the point of cambering your car... if your always adjusting the height!?!?!
