How can I adjust the height of my coilovers?
Coilover height is adjusted by loosening the spring perch collar on the threaded shock body - rotate the coilover to raise or lower, retighten the collar, then get a fresh alignment.
Most coilovers allow ride height adjustment through threaded shock bodies - you raise or lower the car by changing the position of the spring perch collar. Here is the process:
- Lift the car and support it safely on jack stands.
- Disconnect the upper mount from the vehicle (top of the coilover assembly).
- Loosen the height adjustment collar using a coilover spanner wrench.
- Rotate the coilover body - clockwise to lower, counterclockwise to raise - until you reach your target height.
- Retighten the collar firmly and reinstall the upper mount.
- Repeat on all four corners, measuring carefully to keep the car level side-to-side.
Can you adjust while on the car?
Yes, height can be adjusted with the car on the ground using a spanner wrench. Damping adjustments (on equipped coilovers) are made via a top-accessible knob or dial without removing anything.
After adjusting: Always get a fresh alignment after any ride height change - lowering affects camber and toe settings and will cause uneven tire wear if left unchecked.
