dumb ? adjusting height on megan coilovers

[devonkyle77]

i am trying to raise the rear of my car about an inch but cant figure out how to raise the car. i assumed loosening the locking rings and dropping them about an inch on the shaft would raise the car an inch, but such is not the case. i know this is stupid and i should be able to figure it out, so i apologize in advance.
thanks guys

It's not that simple. Do you still have the 2 crescent wrenches that came with the kit?

[devonkyle77]

yes i do. now what?

[g6civcx]

Keep your pants on. I'll scan the instructions for you in a bit.

unbolt the suspension at the bottom.
Unluck the rings.
twist the bottom portion an inch.
measure with a digital caliper that both sides have the same spacing from perch to perch.
twist the bottom portion to the correct space

I'm having some problems adjusting the riding height on the MR coils myself. I read the instruction manual and tried doing what it said. So i loosened the bottom lock nut but i can't turn the shock assembly to lower the height...it won't budge. I didn't loosen the top 2 lock nuts cuz it would affect the preload. So what am i doing wrong here?

try spraying some lube, wd40, and get someone stronger. this is why i like to keep the threades free of debris with a brush everytime i get a chance to.

I just dropped the shizzle out of my S13 this weekend with my MR coilovers. My shocks were also reluctant to move, so I just used the spanner wrench on the lower spring perch (not spring perch locking ring) and turned the shock with the wrench and my free hand. I then eyeballed/measured with my fingers the distance between the collars from side to side. That got me pretty darn close, so I'm satisfied.
