to keep your coilovers even, what do you do, do you measure fender gap, do you weigh the wheels, do you count the threads. what is the most succesful method YOUVE had. If theres another option ive missed shout it out too, i need to figure a better way.

and if any of you are lucky enough to have access to four wheel digital scales, how much, and where?

 

this is a :repost: posted plenty of times

jack up the car and measure each coil w/ a ruler, or count the threads on each one.

 

i would messure the distance from the bottom of the spindal to the the bottom wehre the threading starts with a tape messurer...or i would count the threads....

 

that doesnt take into account the sensitivity of the spring tension and the weight of the engine though. you wont be as level as i like with that setup...theres way too many things to worry about. also, as much as you like the springs will never be the same tension all around...

im not sure what to do at this point though, as i think one is failing and it is causing strange response from the two rears.

 

you will sit alittle lower in the front if you do all 4 the same. so take that into consideration and ie, keep the front at 1 1/4 from the bottom of the spindal to the spring, and the rear at 1 from spindal to spring.

 

ill bet you i can feel an amount of difference at around 1/16" of an inch, it is downright impossible to correctly balance the car withouth driving around and monkeying with it.

maybe i should drive with my jack some day, put like 300 miles on the car.

And crucial, ive got you on ignore, so you waste your time posting. i can see that you post, but i cant see what you type, so find a better use for your time.

 

when i did mine i measured the distance from the flat ground to the side of the fender. to mak sure that both of the rear coils were the same, then i did the same for the front. After i did that i counted to coils on the back just to make sure they were even
i also just lowered it to the point wihere i would be able to still drive daily without slamming my tire into the fender

 

i got a lot of "SKXXXX" "SKXXX" for a while, so i ran up the front right 3 rings, then the back right started making some whacky noise, and tonight the back left made a snapping noise, i think the spring was seating on a hard turn... im not driving a gd circus tent here, ill go insane.

i think i need to bite the bullet and just ride a little higher.
i also notice i was riding on a bump stop the other day on the front...very very very bad on my part.

 

I'm not sure if this is entirely accurate, but wouldn't the way the entire shock/spring installation also be a factor in the difference of ride height? So I just measured all my fenders from the ground up, and I think I'm at 24-1/4" high from the ground all the way around.

 

looks like you still read what i posted up noobie..

goddamnit why do i even bother helping you...fawk you fugi lick my balls faggot, dont expect me to help you out dickface..:madfawk: :madfawk: :madfawk: :madfawk:
