Coilover HELP

Post by Biddle »

Hey guys,
My coilovers showed up today. Im not 100% on fitting them. Opened them and first thing I noticed is that there are two seperate springs on each coil.
Do I need both springs? :oops:
Also is it just a case of guessing how far to move the bottom mount in order for drop adjustement? :?
Im clueless. Not the same as shocks and springs.

If there's two springs, one must be the main spring and the other is the "helper" spring.

Yep, the adjustment is all about guesswork.
