I have the endura tech ETC NS1300 coilovers and was wondering if I actualy adjusted the spring preload on the rears by moving the lower spring perch up. Take a look at the picture provided and let me know what you think.



I am hoping Dexter will find this, he is the only other one i know that has these coilovers...

Yes, that's how you preload the sproings and all other coilovers work the same way.

I didn't want to. But I didn't know any better at the time of install. I was rolling around with a super preloaded front right coil and the other two were preloaded radomly as well (the front right was not).

I went back today and fixed up my springs so they are barely snug in their seat, this is no preload I believe.

I do have one other problem though, which direction should i face the black spacer exstension thing on the rears?

I had them facing outward, toward their respective wheels and the spindle mount, but I am not sure if thats right. There was no pictures in the Japanese translated instructions...

between the coilover and the hub.

I believe black spacer thing faces the hub, not the washer and nut. That's what Stance guy told me to do.
