hey guys, my friends currently got set of BC coilovers all round. i just wanted to know what the best way to set up the rear (coilovers) shock and springs.

would you :
1. adjust the number rounds on the shocks and springs
2. adjust by ratio
3. adjust spring to get ride height then adjust shocks to keep springs captive

hsd n greddy type coilovers are shock and springs so maybe you guys can help too

I am confused..

Spring and shock rear? With adjustable spring seat?


Just do the height on the spring at the height you want? I didn't think you could adjust shock height?

on the rears, adjust spring to right height (height you wont) and then adjust shock to keep them captive

make sure you don't over captivate your springs, you want some droop.
