the RR spring adjuster is at essentially the minimum height setting and
the LR spring ajduster is at essentially the maximum height setting. Springs are equal in length and preload.
Setup procedure was: - Shocks off
- Set adjuster to mid height
- Lower car so that it sits on the springs to check height.
- Raise car and adjust height (repeat as needed)
- Attach shock at top
- Preload spring ~1/4" with floor jack
- Adjust shock length to connect bottom.
- Profit
Rear perches have the gold colored base clocked to sit properly in the bottom of the midlink, the spring, then the adjuster held on top by the stock tabs.
Any suggestions? BC doesn't open for another 30 minutes but I intend to give them a call for help. |
I have installed a handful of BCs on Z's...
The side to side weight should differ a little bit due to the corner weighting differing a decent amount per corner.
I will say that one time i installed them and the tire pressure on one tire was a little lower then the opposite side when setting the rear after pre-load set and everything.... Long story short one of the tires had a slow leak from the Rays Valve stem... So i tightened the inner valve in the stem filled the tires to equal PSI and that fixed the HUGE differing between the LR and RR.
They should vary by a 1/4 to 1/2 inch on the threads of the rear coilover inner adjustment countering the weight difference though so im not sure how big of a difference you were seeing.
