How to adjust Coilovers

[Silky87]

Anyone in the Central California area know how to adjust coil overs while already on the car?
Thanks

Not in Commiefornia...but undo the top two nuts on the coil that hold it to the shock tower and turn the whole thing. The car has to be in the air of course. And it only works on a coil with independent height and preload.

Coilover without ind. H and P you just use your little spanner tool and tighten it or loosen it. Same with a coil sleeve.

Is there a way to know if both sides are evenly adjusted or just have to work with it?

i unscrew the bottom half of mine all the way to the bottom and measure from the top of that to the bottom of the top half of my adjusters and make sure theyre even.

Well you can count the threads on the height adjustment. Or measure it. Then measure from the top of the wheel well to the ground on each side....well anywhere really. If eyeballing it isn't good enough of course lol
