Hello all
Yesterday, i installed BC coilovers. I fully understand how to adjust front, how to adjust spring preload but im worried from REAR. I have several questions.
This is, how rear spring + accessories looks :
My questions :
1. Black part with spring perches - where i should put this ?
Bottom or on top of spring ? Actually, i put it to bottom because of easier access.
2.As i said, i placed it on bottom of spring. I screwed both perches totally down - about 1,5cm down(like on image)
3. When the spring was screwed down, i screwed shock too, same, 1,5cm down. (i loosen bottom perch, measured 1,5cm and screwed shock body till it touiches the ring. Then i tightened ring)
4. Manual is saying, that i have to lower spring and shock together. Does it mean that i have to lower both (spring + shock) always in same size ?
For example, if i lower spring 2,5cm down, i have to make 2,5cm for shock?
5. As far as i know, front springs have some preload on spring. Front spring is linear.
But what about rear spring ? I understand, that rear spring dont have any preload because car is "sitting" on spring and screwing collars up or down will only change car`s height. Im right?
6. Lower shock body i can lowe only 1,3cm down ? Any ideas why i cant go lower ?
7. Last question is very amazing. When i installed rear, i lowered both springs to maximum (both collars screwed to bottom of that black threaded tube). But i forgot to measuer, how low it was = i dont know what was default height/distance between bottom part of threaded black tube and bottom ring.
How to find out, how low i have to screw shock body ? I want to be sure that both (spring and shock) are low in same height. Now im confused. I lowered both shocks about 1,2cm down but im not sure if this is correct. I`d like to go back to STOCK setting and make lowering again but problem is that i didnt measured it before installation. Im worried mostly about shock height because it dont have any marks. Its moving on thread but there is no "default position". I would like to return shock`s position to default and screw it down in same size as spring were screwed.
Here is Manual 1 and 2
Thank you for replies and sorry for my bad english.
