suspension problem
This is kinda lenghty in order to explain the nature of the problem, so bare with me.
Well I've had my ground control coilovers on my car for about 5 months now, and I noticed that they are settling unevenly so I was trying to raise one wheel in the front and one in the back. The back wheels are a snap to adjust, but in the front the disks that spin up or down the grooved metal piece are like impossible to move up. The spring is so taught that I cant raise the front up any more but the grooved metal piece that the disk slides up or down looks like it has about an inch left that I can bring the disk up, is that normal? Don't make much sense to me to have all that extra space on the metal if the spring is so taught at one point that it's impossible to raise it up any more.
Thanks for surviving the long post and any ideas would be appreciated.

my buddy's gcs are like that too. Don't really know why, but he raised his as high as he could and then they just settled even. Don't know if that's really any help, but sometimes knowing you're not the only one helps.

I had a prob like that with my Skunk2's if we have the same prob.
So you can't spin the perch up because the spring is pressing down on it?
Jack up your car and have a friend step on the top of the tire, pushing it down. It should help just enough to free your locking perch.
