hey guys so i just bought a set of f2 coilovers. haven't put them on the car but before i do is there anything i should do to them? can someone show me on a diagram exactly what those 3 ***** for under the spring. and what the top **** is?

thanks

 

the two perches directly under the spring are locking collars for height adjustment, same with the lowest one. tighten them opposite directions (towards each other) to lock them so they don't shift. the upper **** adjusts the dampening. put the black nut/guide thing on the top and turn all the way counter-clockwise to be at "1." One full turn = 6 levels increased.

tanx for the feedback. but i still can't understand how the closest perch 3rd perch lowers the car. i can't move the shock. btw there is two wrenches and 2 more circular shaped wrenches that come with the kit what are those?

 

preload the spring with the 2 upper perches. the bottom one is to adjust the height...
that is for the type 2's... the type 1's only have the 2 upper perches
