Ok so after going back and forth between the tanabe sustecs and the tein flex's i went ahead and ordered the flex's for my ej coupe. NOW i'm a little confused aBOUT THE adjustment of these. i think i got it figured out but i wanna here from u experts/users of the flex. ok so i adjust the ride height using the springs (locking them with the upper 2 perches). then i lower the shock body accordingly (im assuming the same amount?) now i very well could be wrong..but this is what i got from a post on here from searching...please help me out here...i wanna have this figured out before my kit arrives. also what exactly is spring preload...and how do u preload ur springs...ive seen that quite a few times also...the tanabes had "helper spring" to "eliminate the need for preloading"

As for as lowering your car goes all you need to do is unlock the bottom perch. Then adjust how low or high you want your car.

ok so im sitting here thinking and its go me wondering...since u move the whole shock up or down to lower the car by turning it...since its threaded...does that mean u have to take them off the car to adjust the ride height each time...or am i missing something??

No, just jack up the car, take off wheel and adjust

i understand that...but can u turn the shock body while itts on the car? im sure im missing something but it doesnt seem possible...like the rear is attached using the forks...

Well, I only remember turning the shock body without taking off of the control arms. I haven't looked at my Teins for awhile so I don't really remember, LOL. If you do decide to adjust the spring load that you have someone who knows what they are doing. Not I think, or I kind of know, but professionally know how to adjust the spring perches.
