I know all you have to do is turn the crank and the spring will either go up or down, but what if all sides of your car are at different ride

heights?? How do you prevent that?? Sure it sounds easy, just turn up or down, but how do you make sure the to rears are equal?? by

guessing?? And do you need to get an aliment every time??? And do you need to put you car on a jack to adjust the height, cause if you are

trying to raise the ride height isn't it hard to push the car up by only turning the Ground Control??

Also, if you used then in the winter will they get filled with sand and gunk and then you willnot be able to adjust them because they seazed??

yeah dude, when i had coilovers on my 93 civic i had to jack it up and turn the screw thingys up or down. theres really no way to see if the heights are exact unless you count every little spiral on the coilover itself. and you dont really have to get an alignment everytime you adjust unless you want to waste some money. thats my opinion though. i wouldnt really worry about that to much. oh yeah, and yes the coilovers do get really dirty especially if you live somewhere where it snows and salt gets put on the road. try to spray them off every once in awhile to keep that junk off there. if you dont they might sieze up or be really hard to turn when you want to raise or lower you car again. i hope this helps you man, later

most people i know count the number of turns. others have put the car on a lift and measured the distance to the ground.

I had a complete Nex coilovers and I adjusted the height precisely equal at all 4 corners. The best way is, first intall the coilovers on your car so they all sit evenly and consistancely without moving, then lower your car by count the number of threads from the bottom thread sleeve to the bottom of the spring seat where you want to set. For example if you set rear left at 5 threads, you should set rear left at 5 thread, make sure when you adjust, keep the Eiback spring logo face outward of the car, this way you can surely keep both sides setup more consistance to liminating the height error setting and more accurately. Hope this help.

on the average... how long does it take to either raise or lower your car ?

to get the perfect height yes you have to guess everytime...but counting the # of turns is the best bet...takes me about 10 mins to adjust all 4 sides...not that hard

I'm dealing with this right now. I had the car adjusted to how I liked it but I installed the KONI shocks and for some reason the heights have changed. I'm going to measure the distance between the bottom perch and the adjustable collar. To adjust the car to sit level you have to play with the heights from left to right because the sway-bars have a tendency to shift the heights somewhat. I just lower my right side a little bit more since there is only one person in my car most of the time and it's me.
