VR6Pete 0 Posted July 8, 2012 Shouldn't you be winding the but down instead of up? If they are new coilovers it will take a little while to settle... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OllieVR6 0 Posted July 8, 2012 Yeah down for lows. I can see how this is an easy mistake to make but winding them up doesn't compress the spring more to make the car lower (which is what I thought when I first got mine). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
