K-Sport coilovers question

hey guys.

I bought the K-sport coilovers kit for my 1G AWD, and I am having problem in one thing.

How do I adjust the height with out taking the coilovers off??

because when they are not installed, it is really easy, but when the two ends or fixed, that coilover wont move up down.

I heard they can be adjusted after installed, and when I bought the dude told me the same thing.

So how do I do it?

I tighten the spring and left the bottom that adjusts loose and used the wrench to turn the bottom lock nut of the spring to turn the body of the shock.

the installation went great and the coilovers fit really nice.

One thing I want to know is how to adjust to make the suspension softer, because it is really hard right now.

I know I have to twist the knob on the top, but how much do I twist and how do I know that they are the same in all 4 coilovers?

It says it is 36 way adjustment, but how do I count this?

You put those allen wrench's in the top of the coilovers they go all the way in. When you turn them you will feel a click. Each click is 1( I did count them when I got mine there are 36 clicks). You can also adjust stiffness by tightening or loosening the spring. I will send you a pm with my phone number if you need more help.

I dont believe Ksports and the click. When I had mine it didnt click.. Just do it by turns.. max it out one way then count the turns from there.

It does not make a click sound but you can feel it when you turn it like a click. Glad you got it to work. Have fun!!!!
