Fitting coilovers

[A L 3 X]

Right, the manual for my meister r's says they are sent set at minimum height, and should be raised to max before fitting, and then adjusted once one, now mine dont look as though they are set as low as poss as theres a good inch of thread before all the collars meet.

Anyway I'm sure people have said they've installed them at the height they come at and left them there, but what do people recommend is best?

Cheers

I fitted Jacks, after setting them @25mm from bottom locking ring to bottom of the threads, i'd also do the below to stop them seizing

Greased up the threads and wrapped in old inner tube

And ah yeah people have suggestested duct tape, cling film over grease, meister recommended white lithium spray grease but your idea looks great, now to find an inner tube lol.

That looks pretty good height wise mate, hard to tell on the different shape though lol

Was that 25mm in between the bottom of the lower spring seat locking ring to the top of the height adjust locking ring

Basically 25mm of thread left?

[ro55ifumi]
