Default Question Adjusting Megan Coilovers

just wanted to make sure i'm adjusting it correctly since I lost the instructions. But in order to raise the car, I unlock the very bottom ring. Then spin the smaller of the two locked rings to raise it up?

This is for megan ez coilovers but judging by pics, they are the same as the lp for adjustment

thanks

you shouldnt adjust the 2 locking rings once the preset is set. at the very bottom of the coil sleeve should be another ring, you raise that then twist the actual coil sleeve to go up and down inside the bottom shaft (no homo).

This is the correct way to adjust them from Megan directly.

So after looking at those instructions and since I have a rwd, all 4 corners are like the rear struts in that diagram. So just loosen the bottom one and hand spin it? Won't I need to remove the LCA bolt/nut or unbolt the top 3 nuts in order for the strut to expand?

im bringing this thread back..

i installed my megan lp over the weekend..

my rear seems to be on the soft side bc i fill it loose..so i am TOTALLY confused on how to adjust the dampers setting...do i just keep turning the **** 20+ time? ex i say if i want 26 for rear just turn the **** 26 times?

i want to set the rear somewhere in the high 20 and set the front the same..i like a stiff ride..lol that sounded gay..lmao
