    Default How to adjust the ride height of coilovers?

    Just wondering lads how do i adjust the ride height of the 180sx?Its fitted with these gab coilovers.Is it just a matter of winding up the two locking collars??Iv already cracked one of the lower collars trying to get them loose and i cannot get the top ones loose even after a can of WD-40!Also do i need to compress the spring as i dont have anyway of doing this so i was trying without?Heres a pic

    Ya need to turn the two locking rings opposite ways to loosen them, then wind up or down the top one a tighten them together again,
    You dont need to compress the spring.

    Ya give a shout out shur.

    Iv the lower collars loose but i actually cannot get the top ones loose thats why i was thinking if i had the spring compressed it might take some pressure off the collar and it might be handier to loosen

    Taking the slack off the spring will make very litle difference. Youll need a big blow torch and reden the whore.
