stasis c/o

I usually search, but im at work and the proxy server im using is really really slow. just need to know if i can adjust my rear height without taking them off if i have a spring compressor?

[manhertm]

Don't think any rear coilover set-up is on-car adjustable for our vehicles. Reason being is that we don't have a true coilover set-up in the rear. The shocks are separate from the springs, making the springs hard to adjust.

On the Stasis rears you need to drop the sub frame to adjust.. sorry

[diztek]

do you think if i raised the rear 1/8 of an inch would i need another alignment?

[topcat]

it will be hard because the perch, if you remember if you installed them, sit down in a hole, so to speak of. Depending on how far down the adjustment ring is, you probably can't get to it. When I initally put mine on, it was too low, and we took it out and adjusted it, and prayed it sat right when re-installed.

I'm no expert, but I still haven't got an alignment and everything is still good, no extra tire wear, drives nice and straight with hand off wheel.. so I would think an 8th in the rear would not require a realignment....

I may be wrong, but with spring compressors you may be able spin the perch without dropping the subframe.

you CAN adjust it on the car.... but it is such a pain in the ass that it is not worth it

even with a spring compressor, there is not really enough clearance to get the tool on.... plus the tool sucks

you will end up splitting all of your knuckes for two turns

you can pull them out, adjust them, and re-install them in about the same amount of time and a tenth of the frustration

heres how to uninstall them incase you didnt do the install yourself

My mechanic adjusted the rear by compressing the sprintgs in place. It can be done. I had done a bit by hand before and it is a bitch. At some point, the spring is compressed enough that it's very tough to turn.

It "seems" that the rear wheels go up/down without changing angle (camber) much so you may be fine without a realignment for just playing with therear a bit.
