Coilovers

[HardInThePaint]

Thanks. So I'm assuming everyone doesn't use the same "rule of thumb" here. When I bought my 2" drop springs (not coilovers) the spring was actually 2" shorter than the stock. But with coilovers, is there a set way to tell your dropping 2" or 3"?

U basically have to eyeball it for the most part. Like dude said, count the threads to make sure everything is even. Measuring the fenders and whatnot I suppose is a way too but I've never known anybody to do that.

The only way you can get an accurate measurement of an even ride height is if you corner weigh your vehicle.

i got mine lvl measure the coilover heights

U really think anybody is going to get scales and balance out their shit? Nobody is going to go thru all that. Like I said, just count the threads.

doesn't really work that way with fnfs trust me you measure from the tophat to the bottom of the mount man

OK well my point actually was nobody is going to go thru corner balancing. Just count the threads, measure or whatever.

indeed yeah iknow

If he really wants it to be as accurate as possible, then yes he will get on the scales and balance out his shit. If that isn't the route he wants to go, then he can count the threads.

That's exactly why I say people don't need adjustable suspension components if they don't have the knowledge, tools, or need to adjust it properly.

Stupid Question. When you lower or heighten your car to a desired 2" or 3" drop, where exactly are you measuring to be consistent for each spring?

Use either a vernier caliper or tape measure, and measure from the bottom of the locking collar to the top of the locking perch.

We're all beginners at one point.

This is very true.

You're missing my point completely.

The tough thing now is my own indecisiveness. Phhh!

Anyway, I've been juggling between Ingalls and SPC for a camber kit, but I'm leaning towards ************** (still reading and weighing both options). The other is the choice between Prothane an Energy for additional suspension components (although I just ordered some ********* front sway bar end link bushings). Thanks for your help Maury!

I understood your point, was a good point.
