Easiest way to keep track of threads is to make a mark on the ring and count how many times you make a full rotation

Or just whack em right down to the bottom on all of them. Then you know they are the same height
haha

I might give it ago tomorrow see how low I can get it to sit without taking helpers and stuff out

So am I right in saying all I need is a jack some Allen keys and a marker pen, and obviously that thing to get the wheel off with that for some reason I can't remember the name of ?
And what does the C spanner do??

the c spanner turns the rings with the springs load on them you cant just turn them by hand as the spring is loaded against them makes sure you clean the threads before you wind them in any directions.
wheel wrench is the words your after i think.

thats correct yes after releasing the allen key bolts.
clean them with what ever works best at shifting the dirt personally id just use a pressure washer and soapy water then once asjusted to your desired height put some grease on the threads although that shouldnt be essential.

Ok so lowered her some more today
But had a misshap when the widow maker lived upto it's name and have way, lucky had the wheel underneath which saved my life but made a nice chip in the bodywork
At least now I have an excuse to get sideskirts

Not your alloy underneath?! AND NEVER WORK OFF A JACK!! Even a trolley I don't work off! Always stand it!!
I know it was a schoolboy mistake I completely forgot to pick up my stands before I came back to camp :/
Erm I would say it is maybe a little bit nice ride than the standard suspension but that might be because I got used to how horrible it was, obviously the lower you go the harder the suspension gets, mine is wound all the way down at the back with adjusters still in and then 4 threads left at the front and it is still ok but I had to put the up abit after going all the way down on the front due to scrubbing with standard wheels and tyres,
And plus these are my first ever set of aftermarket suspension, never had springs or coilovers on any of my cars apart from this one so can't really compare to any others
Cool cheers for that. It's ok on the KW springs just now, I just want it sitting more level for when I decide to change the wheels. AP coilovers seem pretty well priced so they might be a winner. Did you need shorter drop links or were they fine on the standard ones?
yeh they are alright for the money, i got mine from Demontweeks with 0% interest, and they fitted them so dont really know about the drop links, they look like standard drop links though
Yeh I know Sam I didn't finish getting the adjusters out till half 12 and I've still not washed her because I was knackered so went to bed lol
