Good deal.. bet the car will look great after your done... Keep in mind the car may settle after a week of driving... so it may end up just a tad lower than when your done.. FYI if your trying to get the best height now

Yeah for now the rears are going to stay at max height and so are the front. I'll adjust after a week.

How is height adjusted on these? Do I need to completely remove them or can i just take off the wheel and use the wrenches they gave me? Anyone ever adjust pbms?

you dont have to remove them.. just use the wrenches that came with the coilovers

Okay I'll try to find a video on how to. I just messed with one of them and I got confused since there are basically 3 rings. A big one, and 2 little ones. The big one is in contact with the spring, and the two little ones seem to act like locks.

Thats exactly how it works... undo the locks, move downward.. then adjust to new height

I'll give it a shot in a week. Right now still doing the spring compressor thing...man what a job lol But it should all be done in a hour

Youll do fine, Just be patient.. I had a hell of a time getting the LCA bolts out on the rear... Patients is a virtue

Not slammed at all yet. Just going to let them settle in. I should get my adjustable sway bar end links soon I ordered them last night. Here is how she sits right now at MAX height all around. Going to have to drop the front some more but still gotta do the wire harness relocation( this only needs to be done to the driver side correct? nothing on the passenger side?)



While I was working on her.

Wow nice.. they def redid the rear with a longer strut. Cuz mine is nowhere near that high at max height!

no that is not how you adjust these coilovers for height on the car, the springs are suppose to be static and no pre load should be on them that is why on these coilovers the bottom part is adjustable independently so you do not change the spring rate by compressing them further or loosen them further.

you have to unbolt it from the lca and turn the bottom part


there are alot of coilovers that you are suppose to adjust by turningthe spring perch but the pbm is not one of them

^^^Not true. You don't need to disconnect the lower half from the lower control arm. You just need to loosen the locking nut from the bottom part and you can turn the entire thing to adjust. What GotRiceYo said.

I adjusted them the other day at work. She was on the lift and I removed the wheels and there was no preload and all I had to do was turn the perch after loosening the locks and there was no tension on it what so ever. Worked fine for me. There is no preload on the springs when it is lifted.
