Figure 14a and 14b: Install of rear coil over

Finish the install by installing sway bar end links, and making sure all mounts,

nuts, bolts, are tight. Also make sure that all wires, and fluid lines are clear of the springs
and shocks so that they are not pinched.


Install wheels and tires, and place the car on the ground. You should drive the car

for a short bit (around the block is fine) to settle the suspension. Place the car in the same
place that you measured it from, and check your ride height at the tape marks you have
on the fenders. The car should be lowered 0.600 to 1.00” from stock at this point. If you
would like to make any changes to the ride height of the car, you will have to raise the
car, remove a wheel and tire, and use the supplied wrench and tighten the adjuster nut on
the shock, loosening this will lower the car. One full turn of the nut will result in roughly
1/8” (0.125”) in a change of ride height. Once the car is to your liking, please have it
aligned as soon as possible as a change in height will change toe and static camber.

ADVANCED INSTALL:

For those using a shop with a four wheel scale pad, first start out by getting the ride
height close to where you would like it. Once this is done, please setup the alignment of
the car to what you would like it to be, and set all tires to equal pressures (typically
34psi). Disconnect one side of the sway bars, both one front and one rear. Once this is
done, make sure the car is settled and roll it onto the scale pads by the tires, not pushing
down on the body of the car. Be sure that the scales are zeroed before placing the car on
the pads. Once the car is on the pads, have the driver, or someone of similar size and
weight inside the car and fuel as close to empty as possible. Take a look at the corner
weights of the car, and look at the cross from LF to RR. You want this percentage to be
as close to 50-50 as possible. Most scale pads will have a layout similar to as shown in
figure 15. Turn of the RF and LR to get the cross weights, it will give you a weight for
that side as well as a percentage.
