Is this really how you adjust the ride height?

I adjusted the height with "A", so i might have to take a look at it tomorrow.

The reason for this is the "A" adjustment, adjusts both the ride height and the shocks stroke range... meaning if its too low (to close to the bottom) you risk bottoming out the damper (more or less instantly destroying it). where as the "B" adjustment only adjusts ride height.

Yup, it looks like you hold the threads in place and twist the bottom of the setup up to lower the car or down to raise the car.

sounds like they should've made the design a little bit easier by not being able to adjust A in the first place, i bet a lot of people have messed up their setup due to this.

thanks for the info though, i'm looking into getting these soon.

They put it there so that people can really dump the crap out of their cars... Nice for a look, but screw's there handling over royally.

I didnt adjust the front, but i did adjust the back and it was the only way to adjust the height in the back, so i guess im fine.

would botttoming out on them really instantly destroy them? my rear used to bottom out all the time becuase i had inncorrent rear spring heights and rates. thats all fixed now andit seems to be riding as smooth as ever!

The front driver side perch recently undone itself and i was riding around with very little shock travel. took a few bumps and bottomed it out, which alerted me to the problem. everythings locked up good now and the ride is still just as good as ever!
