put in my JIC suspension and the back is at a moderate height but front is way too low. JIC says to adjust it by the lower shock body by twisting it on the thread. but the only problem is that part is directly into the LCA (i think thats it). its not that easy to raise the spring perch against the spring pressure but ill have to give it a shot tomorrow if thats what it comes down to. I really hope we dont have to take the whole assembly again..

 

The lower spring perch should be able to turn up towards the top of the shock tower. Raise the vehicle off the ground it may make it easier for you.

 

the lower perch will move up but the actual body wont because its sitting in the control arm and doesnt spin. you know what i mean? also, if i raised the thats part, wouldnt that lower the ride?i need to make it "longer" for higher height.
look at this thread. it shows the rear but itll give you an idea of the 3 perches

raise the car.
Have someone step on the rotor as you turn up the coilovers.

 

Yes the red collars turn them up. Turning them up will increase the spring rate of the spring and also raise the vehicle.

 

Jack up the car.

Loosen the lower perch lock.

Use your hand to thread the shock body in or out of the lower perch. Turn to the right to raise (thread out of the lower perch) and turn to the left to lower (thread into the lower perch).

That's all you have to do. I have no problems at all with doing this on my Tein RE's.

 

i brought this back from the dead cause i have the same problem. the difference is that i have the sf-1, and these do not have the third height adjustable lower bracket. jic told me that the bottom spring seats should be set so that the spring is not compressed, but tight enough so that the spring is not loose. if i so that, the rear is between 1 to 1.5 inches higher than the front. i'm pissed that this kind of thing would happen with a suspension kit specifically design for my car.
i already had to raise the lower spring seats in the front to the point where the springs are mildly compressed, and lower the rear ones, which compromises the shock travel. this is the only way i could get the car to seat even. it is still too low though and i scrape much more than i would like to.
i started to think that the springs may be flipped. you know, the rears are up front and the fronts are in the rear. but i have no way to check because the springs are not labeled (other than the jic logo) and they came pre-assembled, so you would think that would not be a problem.
