Default Ohlins height adjustment??

Hey everyone,

I recently bought ohlins coilovers exactly like these, but they seem like they might be not height adjustable and just dampening adjustable. Does anyone elses coilovers look like this. I installed them but maybe instead of lowering the car i just completely messed up the preload setting

Thanks in advance

They should have come with “spanner” wrenches to allow the coil to be compressed/decompressed to lower the car. Google Adjusting coil overs and you’ll see how it’s done.

good luck

The two blue rings at the bottom of the spring are the height adjustment. Not able to see the dampening adjustment if there is one in the pic provided.

I put them on yesterday and I did just that. I was just super confused because all the other coilovers I've dealt with have collars for preload adjustment and ride height. These dont have a preload adjustment and just ride height. It was weird adjusting the ride height because the whole coil system spins.
