This might seem painfully ignorant of me, but I still feel like I should ask. Here's hoping that I don't get flamed.
I have the kit sitting in my garage waiting to get installed. I am thinking early October.
I have never had coilovers before, and am wondering how to set them up on the bench before installing.
How should I set the height for starters?
Do I need to set preload as well?
I did not purchase these to slam the car...but to improve on track performance and tunability.
I understand that in the highest position, there is still about 3/4 to 1 inch of drop...which is perfect for me. So, how do I confirm they are set this way before putting on the car? I realize that I will likely still need to adjust... But I want to be as close as possible so that I only need to make small changes... Since it would be much easier off the car .
Do I need to set droop if I'm not slamming the car? Meaning do I need to remove the spring and adjust so I don't hit the bump stop on the front and rear? Or is this already too go on the ST?
Everyone makes it sound simple, but I am an ME and know that there is more to it than just bolting on. And I mean in addition to corner balancing...
Thanks in advance
