I have the tein flex coilovers and I have problems measuring them to make the car "flush." I use a ruler and try to measure to the exact mm and what not, but its still not right. What did you guys do to fix it or is this something an xpert should do and not something I should do on the street?

 

I'm not sure what you mean by "flush".

If you are trying to level the chassis, that can be accomplished with rulers and a level surface. Be sure that your preload is set correctly and then adjust the coilover length until your ride height is where you want it. Don't be tempted to go too low or else you will run out of droop travel and have horrible handling.

The best way to set up a car with independent ride height adjustments on the coilover assemblies (like the Flex), is to get the car corner-weighted. For that you need scales and a level surface, and is best done by "experts".

 

ABSOLUTELY!

If you are going to the expense of coil-overs you NEED to get the S corner balanced in order to take advantage of them! Aint cheap but you will have a whole new S! If you just measure center cap to fender or something else like that and match all four corners then the S will be wedged and will turn in one direction better than the other. Also when you get the S cornered, go in with a half tank of gas and sit in the S when they balance the car.

I guess what I mean is that so my car won't be slanted, higher on one side than the other. All I want is a level heigt I don't track it or beat on it. So it's gonna cost an arm and a leg to do that and get it done by "experts?"
