Ok, what's the proper way to make sure that the fronts and the rears are the same height (the fronts are the same and the rears are the same not all 4 the same)?

1. Measure from the centre of your wheel up to the edge of the wheel well?

2. Measure from the bottom of the coilover sleeve to the locking perch?

I was thinking about #1 but you'd need a relatively even road/surface because if you don't then one wheel will have the illusion of being higher/lower than the other side.

Any other suggestions/comments??

Fender gap..

Check from a few different places..

Use a ruler or tape measure..

To level each side:
count the threads on the sleeve...if you cant see them, then feel each thread with your fingernail, and count...I have almost a two inch drop and there are only about 13 threads left on the sleeve...so its not time consuming or anything

To measure your drop, use your #1 in a flat concreate garage...driveway may be uneven...

Corner weighing... only way to do it right, with the driver in the seat too. You check that the total of opposing wheels equals the total of the other two opposing wheel, like LF+RR=RF+LR There is an affiliate I think who's able to do corner weights... I'm not 100% sure though. Was it RT?

All these other methods are non-effective. You get coilovers, you gotta pay the price. What coilovers BTW? Reason being, it's not height that matters, it's weight distribution.

Ultimate Racing was the place that did corner weighting.

GCs

You poor poor soul j/k... I had GCs before... The threads are really course on those things... my H&Rs have super fine threads... it takes HOURS to set that **** up right... If you just have GC then it's easy cuz it sits on a level perch... just count the threads is your best bet. My car isn't even corner weighed yet... actually, I think I'm selling it. You still have your stock springs Steve, I'll buy them...

I think they're pretty good quality imo. I didn't know H&R made coilovers

No, I have koni sports (yellows) too . Well I just measured from the bottom of the sleeve to the locking perch.

Sorry man, saving those for winter

Not only do they make coilovers...they make the FINEST coilovers for the street... i LUV em.

I'll arm wrestle you for the stock springs LOL

How much does it cost to do corner weighing?

punkindrublic

say you get the corner weighting done... and you raise your car for winter or something... should it be re done whenever they are adjusted

Bovolu

do u need to get ur wheels realligned when u adjust the coils??

Jugglez

you should have them realigned anytime you change your suspension.
