Yeah, let me take some coilover advice from someone who refers to the spring seat and locking nut as “the three coils”

@@mattcovey7919 tf do you mean “uh huh”?? I mean why tf would you not want to learn the technical names for parts? especially the names for parts that you are trying to install or replace. Lmaoo you can just say that you’re still new to the car community.

If you really want to do this correctly, you should also be corner weighing with scales to try and lock in balanced loading for better handling.

Appreciate this, was about to buy coilovers and had no clue about adjusting them

Potholes and speed bumps make tyre go brr brr.....brr....brr........brr....brrrr.....

That help me im going to instaló BC Racing BR series Nextel week in my Acura TL Type S 07

Are u still running ur fender liner?

😅 only one coil bro

About to install coilovers and pow you poped up completing the info i needed. I assume the threaded body threads in and out of the lower mount and that ring locks it.

Yes and this setting is the shock body's length a general rule of thumb is to set it 1/3 to 1/2 of the way up into the length of the spring

lemme teach you how to not mess up your car: twist counter clockwise to raise your car

I loose it from the middle one how to get back to the preload

What year is that one

How do you know if it's going to scrape once you put it down or not?

How does twisting the top 2 counter or clockwise not loosen them? You said not to loosen them.

The entire assembly rotates, look at the threads too. If you rotate the top collar (spring preload) you’ll notice it does NOT rotate the threads, it climbs up them, that’s bad. Once you tighten the two upper collars (using 2 wrenches) turning the middle collar will turn the entire assembly with respect to the cup at the bottom, instead of climbing up the threads.

Remove the bottom two and twist the last one all the way down, make sure it’s max lo 👍

You can adjust the preload yourself if you don’t have the right preload on the spring 🤦🏻‍♂️

Se ve bonito y todo pero no puedes subir más de 2 personas con suerte subes 2

I don’t have the tool to adjust, what can I use for a sub to do it with?

@@jurassicass depending on the coilover it can range from 0. 5" - 2" of allowable preload. So set them up according to the manual that came with your set. An example of not enough preload: Recently I changed my setup and went lower and I noticed when I was taking tight left turns that the front left made a clunking sound. This means I have too low of preload: because when the car is turning left most of the weight shifts to the right of the car, therefore compressing that coil more and releasing weight off of the left front coil and allowing that shock to open fully. When that happens since the perch wasn't high enough and I didn't preload the spring enough for a split second the coil goes to negative preload and there is an airgap between the coil and either: the perch or the bushing up top; So it results in a clunking sound when the whole coilover recompresses and closes that air gap and the coil forcefully hits the bushing or perch. Does that make sense? Lmk if you have any questions man!

​@@jurassicassto set preload - if you loosen the preload to the point the spring is loose then hold the spring all the way up against the top hat, then spin (you can do it by hand) the top collar to the spring so there's no more movement of the spring(doesn't need to be cranked down yet) then spin the middle collar up to meet the top one. NOW crank on the top collar and tighten (up) it until the coilover wrench they gave you, it fits between the gap you just made between the top and middle collar. Now spin the middle collar up against the top collar and lock them in. Done

Sill did it wrong

No

What the actual fk... You say you never loosen "these" two.. Then you start spinning the bottom one saying you always loosen up this bottom one. Then you start adjusting the top ones.

Wow. You just called the seat amd locking nuts coils..you need to give away all your cars and jump on your moms back and have her carry you everywhere
