  Help a coilover noob adjust ride height (megan coils)


Ok so I'm running megan streets on my s14 which were put in 2 days ago. I'm also trying to roll my fenders with the eastwood roller but the roller is too tall to fit under the fender with the drop. How do i raise my coilovers without disassembling them from the hub? Would I be able to raise it enough to have the roller fit under there?

I tried searching but nothing came up so i'm making this. It's probably dead simple but I just don't want to waste time tinkering around with it. I kind of searched around google and found i have to loosen the bottom ring and adjust it with the top ring or something...but someone please clear it up...pics would help too, thanks ya'll.

btw, coils feel a lil more stiffer than the stocks but my car handles a lot better...i'll probably like them more the more i drive them though

theres usually tools to spin and loosen the perch on the coilovers. forgot which way raises the heigh and which way to lower it, i believe lefty raisey, righty lowery.. but you will need to take off your wheels/tires and raise the caar to do this.. its a pain in the *** to get them all the same height. but dont take it from me, i havnt played with coilovers for a few years.

get a pair of rubber gloves and rotate the whole shock body.

Or you could disconnect the bottom mount and use a jack to get the suspension up to the level you want and roll the fenders that way. It might have a little more play but not enough to hurt anything

thats probably your best bet, otherwise loosen the top collar and then twist the other one (spring) to desired height. just count the threads on each side to make sure they are even.

on a side note, do they ticket the deafening harley crowd the same? i would put up with getting a ticket here if they would stop all those rich-urban-bikers living out some bad-boy fantasy with bone-rattling exhausts and 100 year old technology.
