Raising Front Coilovers - AP
« on: 03 June 2014, 21:25 »
Need to raise the front coilovers as its down way too much and causing issues when turning with tyre catching on arches - looks awesome but totally impractical scraping.

Never had coilovers before but guessing they are adjusted loosing grub screw then turning clockwise up towards the top of strut.

They are AP's that are fitted

Cheers

Spid the rings at the bottom of the spring up to go up and down to go down. Make sure there tight when your finished because they can go down again if loose.
