I looked at the manual but it is really confusing for some reason. Can anyone give me a simple step by step outline of how to adjust the ride height on my tein flex coilovers. btw i do have the necessary tools that came with the coilovers.

thanks,

westmob

 

you take that tool, loosen the "lock" on the bottom, and turn the shock, then tighten the "lock"

you dont need to touch the 2 "locks" that are together, only the bottoms,


or take it to a shop and ask them to do it

 

Shops don't always know.

OP: pretty much what gpws2chousand said.

Don't undo or adjust the 2 locked together collars that are touching the spring.

Loosen the bottom lock collar. The one that touches only the shock body.

Then just turn the shock body into the bottom bracket. Shorter = lower and longer = higher.

If the coilovers are allready installed, do the same thing. Just loosen the bottom lock collar and then turn the whole shock/spring assembly down into the bracket. If you can't do it with your hands, make sure the two collars that are jammed together are tight.

If you need to go lower (clockwise), you turn the assembly using the upper most collar (the one that is actually touching the spring).

If you need to go higher, (counter clockwise), you turn the assembly using the 2nd collar from the top.

It's easy.

Clock your bushings to the new ride height.

 

excuse my ignorence but what do you mean by clockin the bushing??

 

^^agreed. they are already installed. do i need to take the wheels off??

 

yes, take the wheels off to raise or lower FLEX...

 

I did a writeup on clocking bushings on another forum.

Look a few posts down for the pictures.

S2000s need the

Front [UCA to chassis and LCA to chassis]

Rear [UCA to chassis, LCA to chassis, Toe rod to chassis]

IIRC that's all the bushings that need clocking...
