ok, I want to start off by saying that the instructions that my kit came with are horrible. I'm having an issue with where to set the bottom piece of the coilover. Basically I dont know if my car is TOO low and I dont want to blow out a shock or have a shitty ride. I am not sure if this kit is any different from any other coilovers, but the bottom of my kit can screw off completly and that's what I dont know how far to screw it in.

 

are your instructions in Japanese? When I got my TEIN Ha, the instructions were in Japanese. I spent an hour trying to learn Japanese and then it hits me....Search the internet. Low & behold...instructions in English.

 

lol, I have them in english , but i dont know if what i wrote earlier is a little confusing , Basically i just want to know how far do i screw the bottom piece in ?

 

when i installed my tein ha on my 2000 civic ex, i had both the japanese manual and the chilton service manual......better than nothing, they helped~

but i dont understand which piece you were talking about. what 's ur car?

 

the bottom piece of the coil over screws in or out , i just want to know how far do i screw this piece in for my application, by the way my car is a 97 EK

 

adjust the main perch for the spring so the spring has zero preload....ie. just so it touches the top hat.

Now adjust the bottom perch to whatever ride height is good for you. It'll take some trial and error....

 

ok that makes a little more sense to me , how do i know if i am bottoming out the shock or not ? Thank you

 

I dont think you should have to worry too much about that.
just dont dump it ridiculously.

the whole thing about the type flex is that it lets you adjust the height without affecting suspension stroke.

so when you move that bottom perch.. the stroke doesnt really change now does it??

 

I'm not sure what youy mean by suspension stroke ? I just want to set it to the right spec that's all .
