Default how to adjust coilovers?

Well, i'm looking at some coilovers like the buddy club N+ spec and im not quit sure on how to adjust them. There is the BLACK nut that i believe is for adjusting the ride height and the other two right below the spring is for preload? Now how can you find out how high/low to put the spring at?

I was also looking at the skunk2 pro S which only adjusts the spring and from what i hear that it affects the shock travel. Now if you're not going to SLAM your car how well would the skunk2 pro S coils be? how low could you go with the S2 pro S before the shocks wouldn't perform? I hope my questions are pretty clear.

Well, for the 2 right below the spring.... you usually shouldn't mess with. But, if you have, you wanna adjust it just enough so that the spring cannot move up or down. Just get your hand... and if it doesn't move, you're good. Don't overtighten it btw.

Just screw around with the black nut as much as you like. IN A NUTSHELL.

For the skunk2 pro S coils.... if you slam your car.... ride quality = ****.

PS- There have been about 35+ views for this and nobody can answer the man!? Jeez, we need less lazy people up in dis biznatch.

this is how you adjust full coilovers like the Buddy Club N+...watch all 3 parts if you need too.
