*****TIP*****
Do not adjust the coil height with the shock gear attached. It may twist the gear despite your best efforts not to. ALSO, MAKE SURE THE GEAR IS SEATED PROPERLY PRIOR TO PUTTING IT ALL BACK TOGETHER!!!




Okay: what else?

Ted,
You have done a great job of illustrating and documenting the coil over installation kit of ours. I have some "new" pics of the upper brackets I'll post if someone can tell me how to or I can email them to someone to post.
Thanks for all your hard work on this project. I will be mailing the first rear kit to -=Jeff=- this week. With all you have to do it is appreciated that you took the time to do this, thanks again! salute

meaning, have the actuator removed when adjusting?

EDIT: also thanks for putting this together

I could not prevent the upper portion from rotating. Also, you cannot verify the rears are not rotating. I twistedthe rears enough that I, luckily, popped the rear actuator off-- vice damaging it.

so to adjust ride height you need to unbolt the shock plate before turning the bottom adjuster?


Thanks for all your help/work

Yes. It is best. I used a strap wrench to try and hold it steady but the coil or shaft turned the top gear. I set the height I though I wanted then drove the car a few miles and let it settle.
