Hey all,
recently picked up some used tein flexs. They were pre set to a certain height and went on the car nicely. I hear a noise coming from the passenger rear side, sounds like something chattering. I took the wheel off and noticed that the spring sits loosely on the strut. The other side does not. I also tried lowering the car a tad more on both sides of the rear and I noticed that to have an equal drop I would have to lower the "perch" (or whatever its called) substantially lower on passenger side. I dont think this is the way it should be and its really bothering me.
So to recap, if I have both the rears set at the same adjustment, the drivers side tucks a bit more than the passenger, I dont think im suppose to have an unequal adjustment to have the same height, am I? Does the spring being "loose" have anything to do with this?
I apologize for my lack of proper terminology, Im new to the suspension aspect of this car.
Thanks in advance

 

First off the spring should not be loose. You need to tighten it by adjusting the collar. As for the height simply measure inside the fender to the ground and then adjust the coilovers to a desired height.

 

thats what i meant by twisting the strut oliver lol we have to tighten the collar

 

they have the manual on the tein web site if that helps http://www.tein.com/tech_info/inst/6a58u.pdf
