What I've done so far:

-Put them on
-Preloaded them
-Torque the nuts
-Adjusted the coil-overs so that it matches with the specifications
-Put wheels back on
-Manual says to checck the height by measuring the center of the wheel to the top of the fender.
Specs are
FL: 340mm FR: 340mm
RL: 335mm RR: 335mm

What I currently have

FL: 340mm FR: 340mm
RL: 345mm RR: 336mm

Drove it for 2 days to see if it changes but it didn't.

Problem 1 is that the specified length of the coil-overs matches the Tein manual yet the height is different?
Problem 2 is that I can't seem to lower the RL anymore and I'm quite positive it can be lowered more but it won't turn anymore after lowering another 2mm. Maybe it's stuck? Should I just remove the lower part of the coil-over from the car and twist it to see if that works?

Raise both rears a bit, you don't have to be exact with their recommendations, there is some flexibility. Most kits have the rears higher than the fronts, so it won't hurt to raise yours up a bit. When you sit in the car the rears drop quite a bit, on my car the rears will drop 10mm with me in the car (220 lbs) so it doesn't hurt having a bit more height on the rears.

Well, true that. I'm just worried about my rear right side being 1 centimeter higher than my rear left side. I've tracked my car stock 8 times and recently decided to go with my first mod. I feel like an extra centimeter of height on the rear right would put quite a bit of weight towards the left. Unless I'm just exaggerating and worrying too much?

Are you turning the tube by hand or with the tool?

whomikedao

At first the tool then my hand which turned out pointless because I bench like 135lbs, you can tell how "muscular" I am.

I turn mine with the tools and It moves just fine. Does it just completely stop there?

whomikedao

I can lower or make it higher just fine but lowering it even more to the recommended specs wont work. Should i spray something on the threads? Maybe it's seized?

Its not that low really

That isn't really low at all. I have the mono flex and I slam mine before. Now it's raise up higher that your right there. I just change my height the other day and it was just simply as loosing to lock nuts and twisting it. Try a little bit of pb blaster to see it that helps.

whomikedao

I'll try that soon. It's so weird that the other 3 coilovers I can go much lower but that specific one I can't. So just spray the pb blaster on to the threads of the coilover body or whatever?
