    Hey guys,

    i installed my stasis coilovers, but after i installed them, i am having a hard time adjusting the height. what advice do you guys have to make the height adjustment easier?

    i am using the tool that comes with the kit, but there isn't a lot of space to work with when im trying to adjust the front and rears. any help is appreciated.

    Re: adjusting height on my coilovers

    I just intalled a set of ST Suspensions coilovers (galvanized version of the KW variant 1). The Fronts were very easy to adjust; Just jacked it up, loosened the allen screw and used the provided wrench. The rears were much more difficult. Mine couldn't be adjused just by using the wrench while the car was jacked up. Had to loosen the subframe a bit.

    the stassis has two spindle things in the front... one to adjust height and the other(lower smaller one) to lock the top one in place. others like my startup gts has only one where it locks with an allen screw. mine are sorta stripped in the front but fine... and the rears are alot easier to adjust than the stassis. i had to loosen the subframe like dpoor mentioned to adjust the rears on my stassis.

    Yeah it took me FOREVER to adjust the height on the stasis. I still have some adjusting to do cause my left side rubs like crazy!! I guess i need to loose some weight or something but it rubs hard when i make right turns on freeway off ramps and on ramps.
