Hi guys,

Installed the height adjustable springs today. I have a quick question which is shown in the image below, the fronts have locking pins for when you set the height, the rears do not?
At the moment it isn't an issue as the rears are set as low as they'll go however if they were higher how would I lock it so that the nut can never spin as there are no holes for a pin to go into like there is on the fronts.

You can see it on this image. Am I missing something obvious, do you not need to lock the rears for some reason?

Any help would be appreciated.

I think this is the actual product...H.A.S.

I have not hand any issues with shifts in ride height after they settled. Not sure if there is a "locked" position other than spun all they way up or down.

That is definitely not the has kit. The first picture is.

Anyway, I haven't had any problem with the rear and I'm set at max height in the back.

no issues here. installed mine 8 months ago and they have stayed rock solid with virtually no settling/change - 25.75" all four corners...

So there is no grub screw or anything like it at the rear to lock the height in place you select? You just hope the nut doesn't spin either way? The fronts have a grub screw hole which you can see in the first picture, the rears do not, it seems a bit strange?

It's hard to spin something with a few hundred pounds sitting on it. If you don't believe me, try to adjust the height without taking the weight off it.

Just seems odd they'd put something to lock the fronts and not rears, what about when the springs are unloaded after a dip or something?
I will see if I can find someone from KW to confirm this is how it is supposed to be.
