rob_bower Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Depending on the coilovers that would adjust the preload for instance on the meisters you can undo the very bottom ring then rotate the strut either raising or lowering depending which way you go without moving the spring seat. Keeping the dampening the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedlineShifter Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 The bottom locking nut wont move. I think it is too tight, is there a way to loosen it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taggy Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) welcome to hell with D2 coilovers, they are a complete nightmare to adjust once they have been on the car and rusted/covered in gunk. I had to take mine off completly and put them in a vice with a blow torch to heat them up and then whack the collars off. You can get them off just be patient, soak them in parafin over night or some other degreasant.If you want to raise or lower your car never adjust it by the spring, always do it by the collar at the bottom and wind if up or down on the thread as required. If you adjust the preload on the spring it will just cock your suspension up and ruin your ride There are two collars to undo if i remember right, one on the top and the bottom and then you just rotate the whole purple thing around on the thread, you need loads of WD40 in there!Here is mine soaking over night Good luck!!
