I'm playing around with front ride height/diffuser height at the moment.
Adjusting the driver side coilover is easy - make a change, drop it back on the ground, bounce it, and see what happens. Passenger side is being a real bitch though - for some reason it's taking me almost 3 times the adjustment to accomplish movements in ride height (i.e., for every 1 turn of the adjustment ring on the driver side, I need to turn the passenger side like 3x to get a similar change).
Also, it's almost like my passenger spring is binding and wedging itself onto the spring hat. On the driver side, if I put the adjustment&lock rings in the middle of the shock body thread and jack it up, the spring and spring hat become loose and flop around (as they should). On the passenger side, at the same rough point (half-way) the spring hat is still tight against the top of the shock, and the spring is tight against both the hat and adjustment ring. It only loosens up and freely flops around (with the spring hat) when I get down to like 1/4 of the thread remaining (roughly).
Springs are the same (height, coils, part number), shocks are the same, compression/rebounds the same, so I'm stumped why the passenger side is ????binding???? and requiring 3x the adjustment of the driver side (And why the driver side spring and spring hat flop freely when jacked up (as they should), but the passenger side remains wedged together for most of the shock body thread?
Right now I've got a roughly 3 3/4'' front ride height (for rough alingment and body fitment purposes) .... the driver side adjustment ring is just below the mid-point on the threads (roughly), whereas the passenger side adjustment ring is all the way at the top with 2 threads remaining. If the car is roughly 50/50 balance, then why is the passenger side fighting me?
I'm missing something, just cant figure out what that something is
