Cross coilover is installed right now

what is the best way to adjust the height ?

Right now it is sitting higher than my h&r spring

So I definitly need to lower it ..


The question is should I wait for day or two settle and try to lower it?

Or just start adjusting it??


Thanks

I would just bring it down very close to your desired ride height now.

make sure you adjust the height properly by loosening the lower ring and lowering the entire shock assembly down.

i have had reputable installers screw up the height adjustment because it's not typical. i just want to make sure everything is good to go.
