Just bought some coilovers- do i need to get copper grease on them?
- What's the best looking ride height? Front and back
Also i had my car serviced a few months ago when the 'service miles' starting flashing on the dash, but now i have 'service inspection' flashing, what does that mean?
cheers, Mark

Re: Just some quick questions
i put a little bit of grease on the threads, just so they dont sieze
im sure it reccommends to push them up and down manually a few times to get the fluid moving inside
also for best ride hieght, go right down, will be the best look![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
depends on wheels size aswell for ride height
regarding the service inspection, it should technically need a service, as service miles is usually the upsoming miles for the service,
theres a sequence you can do to delete this, something like turn on battery press and hold the trip button, turn off battery, then back on and release the button...
something along those lines anyway, try searching for it though

Re: Just some quick questions
Service Inspection means its due for an 'inspection' service, but if its been done recently you can just clear it. The procedure is in the owners manual. Its quite easy to do, so just follow the book ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
