Default tein ss height adjustment

hi, since i have my tein ss installed already, now i want to raise it, do i need to remove the wheels and the whole suspension to adjust the height?

how do i measure it to be sure 4 corners are at equal height?


thx

sadly the wheels have to come off to adjust it. To make it level you can eyeball it, or count threads on the collar, or get a tape measure and measure how high the collar is up.

why do you have to take the wheels off you can jack the car up and as long as you can reach the sleeve there is no reason to take off the wheel. i can do it with gc so you can do it with tein
