Setting Spring
Preload
1) Most applications will have the spring preload set from the factory
but if you need to adjust the spring preload please follow these instructions.
Prior to installing the coil over on the vehicle the spring preload
must be set. Preassemble the coil over with the upper mount and spring
installed. Adjust the lower spring perch so that it just makes contact
with the spring. Next, compress the spring by 5mm and tighten the
spring perch lock ring. Additional spring preload adjustment is not
necessary.
Setting Ride Height
2) Preset the overall coil over length and install in vehicle. Once
all four coil overs are installed you can set ride height. Ride height
adjustment is performed by rotating the bottom shock/strut mount.
Once the ride height is adjusted secure the bottom mount with jam
nut.
Brake line and ABS sensor wire
3) Use the provided brake line adapters to secure the brake line.
If your vehicle is equipped with ABS, secure the ABS sensor wire independently
of the brake line.
WARNING:
DO NOT ADJUST RIDE HEIGHT BY ADJUSTING LOWER SPRING PERCH. DOING SO
WILL VOID ALL WARRANTIES FOR NEX SUSPENSION KIT.
