Urgent help plz.

Juruki · 09-28-2010, 11:29 AM

So I dropped my car with coilovers over the weekend and it's too low. I have to raise it a little. Took off the wheel thinking it was gonna be straight toward but I'm confused. How do I raise it?
There's 2 perches. Plz help. I need to go to work

Do I adjust the perch on the right? Raise the perch to raise the car?

That's a pic of the rear wheel if it matters...
Anyone know how to raise it?

how low did you drop? how much higher are you trying to get?

ClemsonWill · 09-28-2010, 12:02 PM

Do you have the left perch all the way down? That is the adjustment perch. The right is just the shock. It should automatically adjust to whatever height you have the spring at.

You have to adjust the spring perch and the shock body. To adjust the shock body to have to remove the lower shock mount bolt so that the bottom of the shock can be turned (after loosening the locks).

Basically you need 2 jack stands and a floor jack so that you can support the back of the car and then use the floor jack to raise/lower the rear control arm.

Your spring adjuster looks like it almost maxed out.

Thx chris, after reading your reply i put my wheel back on and will take it to the shop. I had a set of coilovers before and raising and lowering was much easier...
