hey guys, i need help. i installed my bc racing br coilovers and i fcked up. my boy taught me to raised the car but adjusting the top big ring thing and now I realized my car is even on both sides but my coilover's strut is different length!!! from the 2 small rings, the driver size is 1.75 inch apart and the passenger side is 3.5 inch apart!!! how can i fix this? if i was to make both sides 1.75, my car will be tilted! how do i get this fixed?!

thanks in advance!!!

 

When you describe parts as things you aren't helping. Second you adjust ride height with two coil over wrenches on the locking rings below the spring. Pictures will help a lot.

 

yea, the height adjustment is with the whole perch threading down into the body.

Are you trying to lower and raise the car by setting the preloads??

 

Sorry, was in a rush to leave so i just typed everything really quick.

Ok so, this is what i did

I set the height of the coilovers before installing it on the car.
Then after the install, the height was uneven.
So wat my boy told me was, loosen the lower small right then twist the whole strut to lower the car more
And to raise it up, just keep turning the top biggest ring with the clamp thing.

Then i decided to raise the car up today n realized the two coilovers and possibly all 4 is in all different length. Different length meaning the amount of space between the 2 small rings on the coilover.
Front driver side is 1.75 inches apart from the 2 rings.
Front passenger side is 3.5 inches apart from the 2 rings.

Thanks again in advance. Sorry for the noob questions, first time doing coilovers.

 

not sure if this going to help you but you know the part on the coilover at the bottom that bolts to the spindle/knuckle make sure that the coilover is spun in as far as it can befor it come out of the bottom

 

That definietly would not be good...


Another question, which way is that alignment bolt suppose to face?

 

SELECTION THE CAMBER
Select the camber by the installation direction of the allow of
the connecting bolt of the strut assembly and the knuckle.
• -1°00’ ± 30’: Install the bolt turning the allow to the direction
of vehicle inside.
• -2°00’ ±30’: Install the bolt turning the allow to the direction
of vehicle outside

 

Pictures would be immensely helpful on this. Adjusting the height you're definitely not supposed to spin the whole body, just the two lower rings that interlock to hold each other in place

 

To the OP either get your friend to adjust your suspension for you are post pictures because you aren't helping any of us with your descriptions.

 

Well basically i messed with the pre load... Contacted bc racing n they taught me how to put it back to factory setting. I will post up the proceedure just incase someone decides to pull a dumbass move like me lol

Can someone tell me which way the alignment bolts suppose to face?
