Default tein ss height adjustment

hi, since i have my tein ss installed already, now i want to raise it, do i need to remove the wheels and the whole suspension to adjust the height?

how do i measure it to be sure 4 corners are at equal height?


thx

Just jack it up. To measure either use a tape measure or just count how many little ridges you go up.

I just lower it to where it looks good. If you are going to race i would test out the heights.

No it will be fine, but it may make the rear settle lower.

by the way, is it ok for a suspension to have a difference of 1-2mm? cuz its really hard to have exact height on these coilovers

thx

also, what is a good height and setting for lowering less than 1.8"?

what is the best setting to set the damper stiffer level? i want to be able to have good control and handling.

should i set the rear damper's stiffer level to be abit more than the front ,

and would having 4 corners at the same height provides better traction and control?

thx

hi, i also want to know what are those spring rate mean, the front and rear have differrent spring rates. is it the higher the spring rate the stiffer it is? but i thought we use the damper to control the stiff of the car.

thx
