Buddy Clubs in question are powder coated steel i believe, but it wont hurt to use some antiseize anyways.

Actually, I did go back to stock. I took off the omni, then put stock back on. 2 weeks later I put the bc on and one day later I have stock back on. STOCK SUSPENSION 4eVa

To preload you would have to loosen the top shock nut until the top of the nut is flush with the threads. Then raise the spring and perches until they are slightly touching the bottom of the top hat. Then torque the top nut back down.
This will have compressed the spring by about a cm or two without any weight actually on the coilover.

Sounds about right. I did that with the omnipower.

I didn't tq it. I took the coilovers off the car and they are for sale now. Not looking to keep the car anymore.

Re: Problem with brand new buddy club coilover install (mstewar)
Actually it was all due to timing. I was thinking maybe that I will keep the parts, do some more brake upgrades before the dec 12th track event but I've decided that I rather have the money in the bank ready to get the new car in dec.
I'll just enjoy the track as I always have, with stock suspension
