Coil over shocks

Ok.. any tips ..??
I'm assume you turn each adjuster untill the correct ride hight is attained ??
The difference in each coil adjustment is simply down to corner weight?
cheers all

You adjust them to get the required ride height coupled with well distributed corner weights. Simply adjusting them by eye for a level car will doubtless leave it with greatly imbalanced corner weights.

Where do you buy corner weights

But seriously..
How do you adjust corner weight?
All there is is an engine & box down the middle.. do you add weight?

cheers.. jon

If you have a search on here you will find many ways of how, basically you weigh across corners, NSF + OSR = OSF +NSR

This is easily explained, imagine your car is a four legged table, with one short leg then all the weight is taken by only 2 of the legs, the others just provide a balance.

Okies.. I'll have a search ...

So sticking 4 electronic scales - 1 each corner and balancing the load is a good start then..
