How do you adjust ride height for the rear on BC Coilovers

[Buzzman]

I am literally clueless on what I am doing for the rears. I presumed it was similar to the front; however, after reading more, it seems like there the rears are adjusted differently. I can barely fit the spanners in there and when I do, the collar barely moves and seems to have no effect on anything. I searched google for about an hour and I"m still confused on what to do.

 

Thanks.

You adjust them the exact same way. You can either adjust preload or ride height depending on what you want to accomplish.

Really? Is there any easier way to get leverage on the collars with the spanners without taking off the coilover?

Either octopus fingers, or remove the coilovers. The rears are tight.

Front and rear are adjusted the same way..

NOTE: All springs come preloaded from the factory (3a). If for any reason the spring becomes loose, tighten the seat (2a) until the spring sits snug and lock (2a and 2b) in place. Do not over tighten spring as this will compress spring and cause rate shifting. Maximum compression of springs should be 5mm.

 

For all height adjustments, always adjust from the lower lock ring (2c), not from the lower spring seat (2a,b). By doing this, you will not alter the suspension travel. At any drop, 3a should always remain the same.

Height adjustments:

Height adjustments can be made after you install the system on the car.

1. Make sure both 2a and 2b are tight. These are locked against each other.

2. Loosen lower lock ring (2c).

3. Using the spanner wrenches that comes with the kit, turn the upper spring seat (2a) counter clock-wise (right to left) to lower or the lower lock ring (2b) clock-wise (left to right) to raise the vehicle.

4. After you achieve your desired height, make sure you tighten the lower lock ring (2c) before you drop the vehicle to the ground.

 

NOTE: You may need to repeat steps 2-4 a few times until you achieve the desired height. It is suggested you do one side front and rear first and then measure from 2b to 2c and copy to other side. This will save time on install.

Camber adjustment:

1. Loosen both lower strut bolts (1c).

2. Loosen all 4 upper allen (1a) bolts from camber plate.

3. If for any reason more adjustment is needed, additional accessory holes are located (1b) to allow for further range of adjustment.

4. Once desired camber is achieved tighten the upper 4 allen bolts (1a) and lower 2 strut bolts (1c).

You can adjust them with the rears on, just takes some paitence. Its tight, but you have to adjust it bit by bit.

when you get the spanner on and need to push it really hard, use your foot for torque. thats what i do and it works prefectly
