been messing with the tanabe coils for a while. alrready got it aligned...

Now it just annoys the hell out of me because my driver side is a tad higher than my passenger!

How do you adjust your coils to know your sitting EVEN?

Post your methods of adjustment please!

 

shouldve measured it when the coils were off from the car.

 

LOL I used a tool called a ruler. Then when I made adjustments I counted the number of turns I did and then did the same number on the other side. You may want to consider leaving the driver side a little higher because usually it will settle a little more on that due to the weight being on that side most of the time.

 

^^rofl. Go with KW coils, they are way better

 

Once they've settled, measure each corner accurately. Then adjust up or down where needed. One complete turn of the collar is 2 mm.

 

Remove the elephant from your passenger seat.

 

I have the same issue as well...

My guess is to measure from the ground up to the fender on a level surface.

 

Take the one of the lock rings... if you want it any lower.

And measuring wise.. I suggest measuring somewhere beside your fender. At many times if you've been in an accident or you modified it somehow the fender won't be leveled. I would measure somewhere solid... like the crossmember and etc...

are your tire pressure both the same on each side?

 

yes, because KW's coilovers will install even right out of the box...

OP,
you measured before turning? Your turns aren't going to be exact on each corner so just measure much threaded area there is after you have your desired hieght on a side and match that length on the other.

 

Is the 2 mm for both front and rear. Just curious coz the rear diameter is bigger.

 

I do the primitive way. I count the rings. KW's have nice evenly spaced so it was not so hard. I don't know about Tanabe, didn't like their springs either.
