Coilover height adjustment

[DRJDVM's '69]

Okay...stupid question....on my DSE subframe do I thread the coilover collar up or down to raise the front end ride height?

I'm looking at them and if I thread it upward, the spring gets compressed and the front end should drop....is that right?

Its kinda of a PITA to get in there with the spanner wrench....right now the car is sitting too low, so I need to raise the front end up alittle

On my AME frame the spring collar is on the bottom of the shock and I thread it up to raise the car...

I've been doing that and it seems like the car isnt moving up much... thats why I figured I would ask to make sure I'm doing it right. So I guess I keep cranking it upwards until I get the ride height I need.

You are compressing the spring. Keep wrastling with it...

it takes several turns to make anything noticeable those things a re fairly fine threaded.

once the collar engages the spring, roughly 6 full turn from there. you can compress the spring to about 3/8" between coils loaded. If still too low, may need to go to slightly heavier spring.
