Coilover Adjustement question....

OK I have Omnipower Coilovers on my Evo, here is a Nice pic....



Notice the lock ring on the bottom as well as the spring set rings on the Top. Basically my Nose is TOO low, way too low infact. The front coilovers are on the right, the top pillow ball mounts do infact swivel. I am not sure how to adjust teh height on the rear but it is set fine IMHO. I would like to raise it, how exactly do I do it? Just losen the lower lock ring, and twist the whole assembly? Lemy know, thank you.

yeah, loosen the lock rings in the front, swivel up the retaining ring (ring where the spring sits), and swivel up the lock ring to match.

wait, you edited your post. Now I'm not so sure what you're asking. Did I just tell you something you already knew?

These are different, I should not have to touch the springs or re-tension them. These type of coilovers are adjustable without having to adjust the springs. So any help???


What I am trying to do is raise my Nose by almost an inch, that is it.


Thanks for the Space.

Use the adjustment at the bottom of the strut to change ride height. Use the adjustment at the bottom of the springs to set preload for ride quality.
