How are coilovers adjusted properly and fitted?
I just bought ground controls with some AGX. I have had experience with springs, I just want to make sure that the coilovers are applied the same way as to how they go on the shock. Also I know they are adjusted with an allen wrench of some sort but how do you make sure everything is level? How do you ensure that they are level on both sides? Any info would be much obliged.
Thank you
Thank you

You may actually have to raise it a little higher on the drivers side than on the passenger side. Hondas are known for leaning down a little lower on the drivers side.

Bah, who needs those.
In all honesty 90% of the members on here are doing it more for looks than anything. If you have access to corner weights then getting it weighed out is a good thing.

yup mine was like that too.... just jack it up and down a couple times to get level... its not really that big of a deal, you can adjust them with the tires still on.
