Title: Coil over set up
Post by: D Squared on 09 February 2013, 16:56

Hi got a set of jom coilies, which when measured for overall length are about 50mm shorter that the original units in free state, is that normal?

Then how are they are assembled? Presumably I drop the spring adjusters right down, less pressure on spring, which allows me then to tighten up the 1st top nut to tighten right up, as it looks like the top spring platform needs to slide down the shocker stem? And what then do i do with the spring adjusters wind up until height required?

Cheers

yeh wind the cups right down and the top nut can be done up easily then adjust to the height required
